Representative Claire Towers Apartments 'NEY ~ URGICAL N ICAL ISTS ATES ICER rry 6 by Sonia Riffle This is the season for formal dances and many girls are con fronted with the same problem: "What type of formal evening dress is best suited to me?" Formal wear can be beautiful whether the dress is full length or ankle length, but the wise girl will always choose that length, color, and style which is best for her own individual type. Full-length formals add height and are slenderizing to the figure. The fuller the skirt (at the hips), the smaller the waist will appear. Tall girls have an advantage here, as a long, fluffy skirt and nipped in waist compliments her tall, slender lines. Shorter formals cut one's height. Many short dresses look better when worn with a number of heavy crinolines than with a hoop. Long formals, however, need hoops for a better effect. Crinolines can be starched in sugar-water and remain stiff for a longer period of time than when regular starch is used. Sugar is more costly than starch, to be sure, but the effect is better and the crinoline will retain its stiffness much longer. A "bombast" creates a beautiful illusion when used over heavy crinolines. Bombasts are very short (about 10 inches long) crinolines which fit around the waist and add fullness to the hips. Christmas time brings to mind thoughts of fluffy white formals tinged with silver, reds, greens, and other festive colors. Satin, lace, and velveteen are very popu (Author of' CLOTHES MAE A few weeks ago I discussed fas that any girl who really wanted bold and ingenious when it can for the male student.
