Yet they certainly don't want to look outmoded or dowdy. To them, Betty gives this sound advice : "If you buy a <jood dress or suit, without extreme lines, you'll get a lot more satisfaction out of it. What if you do wear it three years? If it was well made, of a good fabric to begin with, and if it fits you comfortably and you always feel well in it, you'll probably be sorry wben the time comes to discard it. "Lines should be simple, well-tailored, with no extra flounces or too much trimming to add to your size. Stay away from the V-neck — the square or high, rounded neckline is best. All color and decoration should be placed above the waist. The tall girl should avoid the dirndl, for instance. Dirndls are a charming style for the little slim miss, but only make the big girls look taller and wider, and a little silly besides." Well, the little girls will continue to wear their dirndls this fall, in a more youthful, slimmer silhouette than the summer's peasant version, with a flared rather than a gathered skirt on the snug dirndl bodice. But there are plenty of new straight-up-and-down styles for their bigger sisters. The newest silhouette shows a full, bloused back, belted in over a slenderized sheathe skirt. This gives you that breadth to tile upper part of the body and shoulders which will serve to minimize your height. The dolman sleeve, which is such big fashion news this fall, is another feature that will appeal to tall women. This is the sleeve that is not set into the armhole separately, but is simply a continuation of the bloused bodice, with the lower part of the deep armhole sometimes coming almost to the waistline. If you're tall, be as top-heavy as you please, for this has a good shortening effect on the figure. Concentrate color and trimming on the bodice. The bolero is a good style for you, and is continuing its popularity this season, not only as an extra jacket on a dress, but in many other forms. You'll see it in bright colors on dark dresses in the familiar removable type, and sometimes in what might be called "pseudo-bolero" form, as part of the body of the frock. Color is also being used in many interesting ways. You'll find that a dark dress with dark skirt, sleeves and back, and a brightly colored vest will be very attractive on a tall, slim figure. The girl who is not only tall but also a bit overweight, and who knows that the diagonal line is not just a geometrical term, but a device that does wonders toward slimming out her figure, will like the style which uses diagonal lines of color interestingly placed to have a flattering, slenderizing effect. "1 prefer a heavy fabric with a body to it," added Betty. "In the first place, heavy materials adapt themselves better to the simple, straight lines that I like, and the tall woman can carry them, whereas they overpower the shorter girl. Then, too, they fit your figure so well. A lighter fabric that tends to billow will add pounds, and if it fits too snugly, every unbecoming line is silhouetted too clearly. "For fall and winter, there's nothing quite so useful as a costume suit in a soft wool. I have one in "duck" blue that is absolutely indispensable. The dress is the basic type so I can vary it with costume jewelry. The coat is full-length and trimmed down the front with natural skunk, which, by the way, everyone thinks is mink. This type of suit is so much more useful than a three-piece model. On very cold days I wear the dress under my fur coat, whereas a jacket suit would be much too bulky. I feel well dressed in it at any hour of the day, which is certainly a lifesaver when I haven't time to go home and change between engagements." This fall, with shoes and accessories going into color, you probably won't be able to resist its lure. But, if your feet are at all Garbo-esque, be careful ! Try wearing colored shoes in the more subdued, softer shades, in dull, smooth leathers. You will find many styles designed in two colors or in two shades of one color, arranged in cross-wise patterns that have a shortening effect upon the foot. "The two types of clothes I like best," said Betty, "are tailored day-time clothes, and evening gowns. My favorite and most useful evening dress is a plain black crepe with a low-cut neckline and moderately low back. It's a grand background for my costume jewelry, and I also have a collection of little jackets to wear with it that change its appearance completely. The ostrich feather coat I wear with it is finger-tip length, and was designed by Schiaparelli. The long, uncurled ostrich feathers have the same softly flattering effect as long-haired furs, which I love." Score another point for the tall girl, who can wear the luxurious long-haired furs that are so soft and becoming, but which are too much for the short girl to carry. Betty's final word of fashion advice concerns every woman, no matter what her size. "Buy your clothes, each season, all at the same time," she counsels. "If you have time, take a day to shop around and see everything. Then, when you have a comprehensive idea of the styles being offered, assemble your costumes. I like to shop early each season. You get a much better selection, and the fabrics and workmanship are of a higher quality. I think the new idea the stores have of coordinating the various departments is an excellent one. When they do this, you can be sure that your costume and accessories are going to harmonize in color, style and quality. "My Mrs. Wiggs get-up is a good example of what not to do, as it was assembled in a helter-skelter manner. TJie bonnet, with its brave purple ribbons, was exhumed from the attic ; the shawl I found at a rummage sale ; and the dress was about to be discarded by the costumer when I picked it up. Artful make-up does the rest toward making me look as dowdy as possible. "The woman who makes the most of herself, who uses her cosmetics carefully and cleverly, and who dresses to suit her particular type of figure, need never fear that she will be mistaken for Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch!"
