Taller and Slimmer Is Girls’Trend By Science Service NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 7.—The girls at Newcomb college here have been getting taller year by year; taller and a little slimmer. But the vogue of slimness has nothing to do with it; the trend started before the style came in. This and other Interesting facts about the physique or the “average" Newcombite were brought out in a paper presented by Dr. Harley N. Gould before the anthropological section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Twice a year Newcomb students are weighed and measured, and this work has been going on for twentytwo years, so that by now a considerable mass of data has been accumulated. By comparison with similar measurements made at institutions in the north and in Canada, Dr. Gould found that the Newcomb girl tends to be rather more petite than her sisters of the frostier regions. This, he said, falls in with a general tendency observed by anthropologists, for northern populations to be taller and heavier than southern. The trend toward greater height and slightly less relative weight started in 1920, Dr. Gould’s charts show; but already a tendency toward at least a slight increase in plumpness is beginning to assert itself, though the tallness remains. The weight curve began to curl upward a trifle about 1927. The age of entrance at Newcomb averages just under 18. And the girls who enter on the younger side of that, line are likely to be in better j trim physically than are those who are older when they come. Dr. Gould explained that the older croup is “loaded” with girls who have been retarded in their preparatory training by illness and other causes.

One phase of the measurement study bad its amusing side. The line indicating the ratio of weight to height was an almost perfect zigzag. representing a regular increase in weight during the summer and a loss in winter. “1 suppose.” commented Dr. Gould, “that this represents loafing about in summer, eating a few too many chocolates, and in general taking things easy. Then when the girls return to work in the fall they keep more regular hours, work a lot harder and train off the extra weight.” Give Hankies in Threes Three is a smart number of handkerchiefs to present when those are what you choose for a gift of any sort. One in 15-inch size with broad colored stripes would be for general use. Avery sheer white handkerchief with French cord edge and monogram would be for afternoon. And for evening a very large white chiffon with a monogram or applied motif.
