sagging hosom or slumped shoulders.

If a pier-glass scrutiny of your silhouette reveals |

the need to pull curves: into line, start a daily regimen of exercise to cut a better figure. Ready to guide you in exercises which discipline curves and build a better stance is actress-dancer Karin Booth, who follows a special routine for

Are ‘Out’ With Short Skirts

| Long Skirts and Hair Droop in Unison |

{ PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.—To the

the turmoil over the lowering hemline with an unflattering picture of the woman of fashion with long swirling skirts and long hair swinging around her shoulders. “They look like weeping willow trees,” he lamemted. “I went to a racetrack last week and couldn't watch the horses for looking at some of these drooping females.” “Their hair droops, their dresses droop. It's awful. They look like English judges with long robes and periwigs. “When you look at these girls from the rear, all you can see is hair and dress. Nothing else. You get an idea that what's underneath is pretty, but you can't see anything.”
