.0man's Dress Reveals Woman's Nature.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REprBLIC.
The rain dashed against the windows. The
blase girl piled the divan cushions higher

cit Is easy enough to distinguish a girl
who Is in this period. She has had expe-
Renee. and she uses 1t for all 1t isiworth.
Her gowns are usually models Of chic and
aplomb. and they are distinctly made to suit
the masculine taste. The colorings are most
] complex. too. For instance. she buys a
white chiffon dotted with pale yellow. In
the ruffe period she would have had 1t
made over the same color or white. but in
the experienced stage 1t goes over the
palest of pale blue tafeta, and 1t is pro-
fusely trimmed with wicked-iooking black
Insertion and bits Of pale blue, black and
yellow chiffon. II she marries at this period

periods"
Perhaps not, drawled the blase girl,
but you'd be surprised to see how many
people do fit. OF course, there are excep-
tons. Artists. for instance. The first thing
a successful artist or authoress does is to
drop her corset, and the second is to get an
aesthetic teagown, a medieval one If pos
