OVERWEIGHT WOMEN

A revolt against dieting has
started over in Paris where a
new club has been formed to
help stout women. forget about
their welght and enjoy life just
as they are, They contradict the
popular notion that stout women
are doomed to lead drab, unhap-
py lives unless they diet and re-
duce,

Actually, according to the
club's founder, Pierrette Lecomte,
fat women usually have fewer
serious problems than thin ones.
They are generally better balanc-
ed both mentally and physically,
are good company and don't
worry about outdolng other wo-
men, 2
||. ‘Thefr main trouble‘is that they

feel inferior and are always on
‘Ithe defensive because of their
weight, And Miss Lecompte
should know what she's talking
about. She’s a slim woman her-
self, but she’s also a psychologist

The club provides a gathering

are not solved by. dieting. The
main problem for them is how
to dress, Women who have been
fat most of their lives tend to
neglect their clothing because

no matter what they wear will
not look right. Miss Lecompte
claims this is nonsense because
some of history’s best-dressed wo-
men have been good and plump,
and the same is true even today
in Paris. But one thing the over-

NEW FABRICS
New Canadian fabrics for
spring are softer and more fem-

fashion’s silhouette. Suitings and

the rough rustic look, ‘Fabrics
