Brown Street Suit and Accessories for Stout Women
Advice on home sewing and styling for stout women focusing on modest browns and blues. Recommends plain tailored suits with two inch ground clearance, simple ejon coat, careful pressing, and conservative hats. Warns against bright colors, stripes, and flashy belts, favors subdued necklines and lace berths with modest belts and accessories. Also describes handmade corset covers using handkerchiefs, lace insertions, and embroidery for refined undergarments.

Henry Clews notes three to four months of severe liquidation sobering Wall Street. Conservatism grows from top to bottom, with 20 to 30 point declines in many solid securities.
