The Perfect Thirty Six ? j
"Them Days Gone Forever '
-
?
Standard of Feminine Pulchritude Has Been Raised to the
Perfect Thirty-eight Because S /torts Have Made I? Om
en's Lungs Bigger and Their Shoulders Broader
By AILEEX LAMOXT ,
(Copyright. 1924. By The Advanrr)
New York. Feb. 2S. ? The day of.
the "perfect thirty six" Is over, ac- .
cording to American merchants and
designers.
The standard which for years re
presented the ideal of feminine pul- j
chritude so far as fashions are con-i
cerned no longer applies, they say.
What designers and dealers are!
dealers are locking for are models
for a "perfect thirty eight.*'
The demand for the larger sizes,
they assert, is due in part to the
present day styles and in part to the
fact that outdoor sports have gained
such vogue among women that lung
capacity has been increased and
shoulders broadened. It Is true,
that the prevailing silhouette is1
slim, but it is essential that It must1
not be tight or scrimped, especially
l in view of the abandoment of the
Dorset by many women.
The ideal of the French designers
always has been of the svelte type.
; Moreover, since the fall in franc
exchange, the French cloth manu
facturers and dress makers have
been loth to put any more mater
ial than necessary into a frock. In
fact, it is charged some silk manu
facturers now are selling their
goods on a yard basis although they
continue to charge . the same as
when they used the meter as the
standard of measurement. In this
way they save 3.37 inches on each
meter of cloth sold.
Manequins with thirty eight fig
ures are in inctoaslng demand, not
only in Paris but in London and
Sew York for the t howing of the
larger gown models
The approach. of Lent has turned
feminine attention not away from
| clothes but toward the less elaborate
models. Suits and coats for spring
undoubtedly are the features of the
smart shop displays at present.
The boyish slenderness and tailored
smartness of fit and finish necessar

ily make the new models simple in1
design but the wide range of ma->
terials' effectively prevent them
from lacking individuality. The
twills, tweeds and worsteds are
most popular with hoth stripes'
and plaid effects artistically em-!
?ployed.
The purchase of such a suit na-i
turally turns the attention of the,
owner to the spring furs. Xeck 1

pieces give every evidence that they I
will be tremendously popular this!
spring, although it is probable that
the fur, Jackets will by no means be'
abandoned. Sable and fox so fat*
are leading their rivals In popularity j
for the scarfs.
Furs are also being extensively1
used on th?* new spring wraps fori
both i he cloth and silk models.
Many of these have clever adar*.a- !
lions of tin* cape back and of the!
scarf collar. The black and white I
vogue continues to prove its hold on
r.
the public fancy In the wraps on'
which ermine frequently is em- 1
ployed.
Some of the shops are stressing i
the use of suede and~1Iiard leather
both for entire coats aud for the |
purpose of furnishing contrasts of j
color and material on a mere sober .
background. I

Mexican and Cleveland stand at the head of the list as the
