- The stout woman is always asking what she shall wear.
Now these, according to the New York Sun, are some of the things she should
not wear:
-
- - She should not wear a tailor-made suit fitting her
figure closely. It brings out every pound of flesh for the benefit of the
looker-on.
-
- - She should not wear a rosette at her belt.
-
- - She should not wear a lace or ribbon ruche about her
neck, though the soft feather one is permissible if it have long ends.
-
- - She should not wear a short skirt.
-
- - She should not wear her hair low on her neck, rings
in her ears, or, if her fingers are short and fat, many rings on them.
-
- - She should avoid high sleeves and loose gloves.
-
- - She should shun champagne.
-
- - She should hate ice cream.
