is never advised, and yellow is seldom be-
coming. A pale pink will give you dainty
flush, but with It the gown worn must be
pink also.
The knots of ribbon on your pink or
blue cotton gown should be black, while
gray demands pink ribbons; brown, pale
yellow, and white, ecru. Your sleeve and

the value of dress, but her gowns must be

many diamonds she possesses, they must

ing more elegant can be dreamed of than
a hellotrope velvet visiting toilet made
magnificent with rich buttons. Upon this
material Worth put buttons of the finest
cut steel, and the effect was superb. Cot
ton may be dainty; velvet or silk are ele-
CANT; while all wool materials have for
their adjective the word, suitable. 1 should
as soon think of talking about an "ele-
CANT gravy" as | should about an elegant
cotton Dress and yet women occasionally
| make this mistake. AS we accumulate
years it becomes possible for us to wear
rich fabrics Simplicity attaches itself
only to the beaute de diable
A babble about frocks? Well, my friend,
even if you are man, you must confess
that you like to see woman we'll dress
ed and l must confess that men have
very good ideas about womens clothes.
| They like rich fabrics. Nelvets appeal
to them, and yet they know when these
materials are improperly worn. They
know when women is properly dressed
for the street, or for dinner party, and
they are equally clever in their criticisms.
They like laces, and they appreciate the
| frou-frou effects that are so essentially
womanly. i never yet saw n man who
encouraged a woman in the wrapper hab-
it. They seem to know that the loose,
ungraceful garment worn outside of the
bedroom, is the first step toward untid-
| mess of dress and speech. Man is not
bad critic. He may be ignorant OF ways
and means, but he can judge results. AS
he seldom overdresses, he is bitterly op-
posed to it, and doesn't like the woman
who rules his heart to attract attention
by loudness in her clothes. or her man
ners. 1t has been a pet belief of mine
that women are largely Influenced, NOR
| ally, by their gowns. II would be inn
possible for a woman TO be free and easy
in velvet and rose point. and It would
| be equally impossible for her TO grieve
| in pink satin, or dance the minuet in
| black Grape Who could be digniied in
cotton frock made frivolous with many
ribbons? Who could be business-llke In
swiss muslin? And who could be a suf-
ragist in a white tulle looped with roses?
Generalizing, the American woman Is

claim that she lacks originality. but that
she takes the best and assimilates IL to
herself. The English woman, incliping to
