Straight Up and Down' v
Is This Season’s Style
&
THE STRAIGHTLIN E SILHOUETTE
PARIS, Oct., 13.—Follow the straignt
and narrow—let that be your sartorial
motto for. the coming season.
This may be the last season for the
straightline gown—and the French
couturiers devoutly hope it is, but for
another six months, it reigns su
preme!
Three-piece suits show almost a
straight line from shoulders to hem.
Afternoon frocys take the pencil for
their model. Only the evening frocks
for the young and slender, which fol
low the bouffant line are an exception
to the rule.
To the casual eye the sfyles for the
coming winter do not differ greatly
from those of the summer, but the
discerning eye sees many straws
which indicate -a change of wind, and
the silhouette is changed just enough
so that you may easily tell this sea
son’s models from last. ,
Line Han Moved
The waistline has moved. It does
not dwell so near the hips as it did.
and any indication of its habitat is
entirely obliviated so far as many of
the smartest frocks are concerned.
In Worth’s collection, you scarcely
encounter a belt. The silhouette is
straight, hack and front, and the
necessary fullness is taken care of at
the sides in draperies, pleats, or Inter
esting folds.
Jenny shows many beltless models
ana omers wnere me irum. is re* 10^
ly plain and the back has a belt drop
ped very low. Her skirts are very
narrow and frequently split at the
side to enable ease in walking, the slit
being concealed under the ends of a
large bow or drapery, or showing a
fanshaped Inset of some contrasting
color.
Patou is showing many circular
ruffles on the bottom of narrow
skirts, particularly across the 'bacir.
These are not circular enough to
change the straight effect, but they do
give a slight width about the feet, and
they proclaim themselves to be this
year’s /models. .
As one watches the mannequins in
their straightline models, scarcely
wider at the hem than they are
at the waistline, one realizes these
styles will have to be adapted for the
average woman, if she depends upon
walking as her means of locomotion,
glee Mustn’t Hurry
The very narrow skirt requires a
particularly leisurely,, graceful;, unhur
ried walk which the French Woman
has learned, and which is suited to her
mode of living.
The courtiers will tell you frankly
that the fuller skirt and closer belt
undoubtedly must follow this season,
but for the present the well dressed
woman of Paris keeps her silhouette
as straight as art can make it.

10 Years Go
In 30 minutes—:my White Youth Clay4
By Edna Wallace Hopper
I was a plain girl, ana 1 made in>seir
a beauty. I grew old, like others, but I
kept my' wonderful bloom. »
Now, after 41) years as a stage star,
I still look a girl of 19. All because
of beauty aids wliich French experts
perfected.
Now, as a duty to my sex, I offer
those helps to others. And I am taking
time in a busy life to tell the facts
about them. ,
Clay Old The Most
Tou read much now about facial
clays. Millions of women use them. But
they are crude and *nuoay, itke the
primitive clays I used many years
ago.
They do amazing things. Any woman
who omits clay does herself injustice.
Nothing else can so multiply beauty
or so preserve one’s youth.
It is white, refined and dainty. It
French experts after 20 years of
study, have perfected a new-type clay.
But there are better clays today,
brings manifold effects. That is the
clay I now use—my White Youth Clay.
And to that I owe my baby skin at the
age of €2.
Its Magical Effects
Most of you know what clay does.
You see beauties everywhere whose
complexions' are due to clay. You see
mothers who look like daughters,
grandmothers who look like girls—all
because of clay.
' tjiay purges me »Kin oi an
clogs it—the causes of sallowness
blackheads and blemishes. It constant
ly renews the skin.
It brings the blood to the skin tc
nourish and revive it. The result is
that rosy afterglow which so amazes
and delights. Many women in 30 minu
tes seem to drop ten years.
Clay firms the skin, combats ail
lines and wrinkles, reduce* enlarged
pores.
The ordinary crude and muddy clays
do that. Then what may you expect
of a new-type clay, at least ten times
as effective? You may expect just what
it did for me.
Mine is this new-type clay. I call ti
my White Youth Clay. It is now sup
plied by all druggists and toilet coun
ters at 60o and $1 per tube.
Also my Youth Cream, which should
follow the clay. My Facial Youth—my
famous liquid cleanser. Also my Hair
Youth, which brought my luxuriant
hair. My Beauty Book comes with
My day is nearly ever. Now I wish
to bring to' others the joys I won and
keep. Now you can have the very helps
which made me what I am.'Start today
with row Youth Clay, and see what
tomorrow brings you. Edna Wallace
