l FASHIONS AND FIGURES for several years, women who nad yqgired a. little more flesh than bzshion Permitted have found it very difficult to find becoming styles in clolhes- It has‘ not beenuncommon to see a heavy setlwoman with large, unshapcly legs and widahips wear- ing n dress much to high above the waistline and much too_short in the length oi the skirt, thus emphasizing thc two most ungraceful features of her figure instead of camoufiaging them. l But if any girl or woman complains that she cannot find becoming lines and colors for her clothes this season, she will have only herself to blame. l think that the fashions of this sea- son are the kindest and most becom- ing that have everbeondesignedflrho styles and linu are adaptable to everybody‘; fancy because of the predominating idea of fitting the gown lo the ngure, not trying to fit the figure to the gown. Then; too, there are the softest. colcos ~- oi all hues for every sort andtype oi com- plcxull.

The Longer Skirt l

Fashion experts and Paris cou- turiers decree that skirts are to be worn longer this season. But even so we need not fear the return of the ankle-length rhems and the long trailing skirts of yesteryear for street, home or business wear. "A few inches longer” in this-connection means long Pllollsh to -oonceal the knees when lnilady is standing, sitting or walk- m. which means that, while miiady will keep her figure trim, graceful Ind supple. as most women do by healthful outdoor exercise and wise choice oi foods. she will have the sat- isfaction of knowing that she can ex- press through her choice of clothes her own feminine, charming person- ality without having to dress like an "Yofsrown schoolgirl and keep her body undcmourished- _ -

The waistline oi one's frocks can be easily adjusted so as to divide the figure artistically. and straight or llilral lines may be used to lengthen the parts oi the figure.‘

“Many a Wife and Mother Who Makes a Failure Of a TwentyioulaHour-a-Daya as Wife and Mother Would Make a Success if She Could do it on an Eight-Hour Shiftlé- What a Pity There Are no Union

Hours for Wives!” l -

_ I ' I L _ I -In a recent speech the Secretary oi Labor advocated an eight-hour work- _ ing day and a two weeks‘ vacation every summer for wives. "Men have an

eight-hour day," hc said, "but the wife's’ work is never done from Sunday‘ morning until Saturday night, and she puts in la night of it, too, if any one is sick. It seems to mo that hus- bands might see to it that thc reduction of working hours begins at home, so that their wivesncould have their workday cut down to the eight-hour limit and be sure oi at least one day of rest in seven. And they might see to it that their wives get a two weeks‘ vic- ation also cvcry year."

‘Three cheers for the-Secretary of Labori ' The idea of having aneight-hour-day, with one day oil’ every week and a summer vacation, sounds like _a prophecy of heaven on earth to millions of poor, tired, overworked women whose lives are one incessant round-‘m cooking, sweeping, mending, baby-tending, and who never expect to have any rest until they take it in their coffins. ' ' ~' ‘

But, alluring as is the theory oi an eight-hour day ior wives, one doesn't

sce how it is to bc put in operation unless every man is to be‘ permitted to - - ~- ' have three wives and work them in shifts. And while this might appeal to ;

the poiygamous instincts of many husbands, it ivouldcertainly make no hit with Jealous women who would rather work their fingers to the bones to maintain their monopoly over the men‘to whom they are married than to subdivide them with other women. ~ , I

. ' \

Likewise, most husbands find one 'wife about all they can support in these days of thc high cost of matrimony and would not care tovtake on a couple of extrafaccounts at the dress shops and 'the miliiners and the beauty parlors. _ ' v I

0f course. it is women's right to have a union day, but the trouble with‘ all oi women's (rights is that they can't enforce them. You can't imagine a mother lying abed in the morning while her hungryci-lildren howlfor, break- fast because the clock hadn't struck and her workingday didntstart until il'o'clock.' N or can you imagine a mother shutting the door on a sick child at night and leaving it to its fate because she wasn't on the night crew.

_ Neither can you imagine a wife throwing down her needle in‘ the midst of

sewing on a button for her husband or turning outthe gas on a half-cooked dinner because the whistle had blown and her elllht hours‘ labor WIS done- Nor can you picture a wife and mother taking avday oflevery week and leav- ing her family to get itself. washed and dressed and fed iwhile rho ldled around or went off somewhere to enjoy herself. -
