for qWomen

would be a success from a mans point of
view musf cultivate a back With attrac-
tive curves and an '.air'' called style, If
she does rot already possess this desir-
able feature, says the Philadelphia IN
quirer.''
Fashions are for all. but in these .in de
steele days style is the one element ST L
fashionable appearance, which is most to
be envied to whom the Creator was most
generous. like the color of their eyes, ana
industriously cultivated by the many who
are not so rarely blessed. No matter
about your cameo cut face ani soulful
eyes, il YOU are wanting in the subtle
qualities which find expression IN the OUT
lines of your back, YOU nave only q
meagre chance of approval in the mascu-
line perspective.
1t is necessary for every woman who
is ambitious in this direction to cultivate
this important feature with all the ener-
gy which can be applied to modern gym
nastics for special results. The prettiest
gown on the most ideal looking woman
will lose every vestige of style. if she
stands incorrectly, SO she can gain 4 tell
ing point by learning one simple lesson.
The secret of distinction in dress lies in
the air of wearing clothes quite as much
as in the clothes themselves, but it IS the
unexpected contrasts and peculiar har-
monies of color which attract he average
woman's attention this season when she
is on the lookout for new idess.
The value of contrast as q means of
giving character and effect to 6 gown has
been a study among dress designers for
some time now, and we nave more novel
Illustrations of it this season than ever
before. 1t is not contrast of color en-
tirely. but of material as well. and as a
means of economy it is very useful.
IF you want to effect the very latest
contrast put a purple collar on your blue
gown. A little care is necessary in the
choice of shades. or one will eclipse the
other, but there is purple and blue; and
the thing hat surprises YOU most is that
you are not thinking how ugly it IS. but
rather wondering why it was not attempts
ed long before. The variety in shades Of
blue are legion, and .the way three or four
different tints are made to harmonic in
one costume is a striking example of the
modern disposition of colors. It is the
right touch of color which gives your
gown the perfect finish, and black and
white. very often both, are distinct fac
tors in every scheme of decoration this
season whether it is gowns or hats.
Black and white are also very popular.
especially in the transparent material.
Black mousseline de sole. with chantilly
lace sprays scattered over 1t. made up
over white. is a very elegant costume.
and extremely pretty effects are wrought
out with plain black mousseline by using
colored chiffon underneath.
