PHILOSOPHY OF CLOTHES


it was organized four years ago-the Or-
eanized Aid Association has had under
consideration the forming of a society
for the prevention of cruelty to children.
So far it has amounted to nothing pnt
talk. The association has had its hands
full to take care of itself and its own I'M
mediate interests. Now that it is in bet
ter circumstances and has building all
to ITSELF the matter of Chlldrens 80
ciety is again being agitated, and it is
not unlikely that this much needed de-
partment will be added to the assocla-
tion's work when the members get to-
gether this fall. Counselor Robert Flem-
ming and Mrs. Brice Collard are at the
head of the movement.
Everything in this world has phil
osophy of it's own well worth studying,
even clothes. There is economy IN the
philosophy of clothes, too, for the well
dressed girl is not necessarily the most
expensively dressed. She is, however, the
most effectively dressed because she
studies harmony and is not half as, apt
to be incongruous as her millionaire Sis
ter. She saves her expensive gowns Tor
the analysing eye of woman and her EFF
fects' for man. A man never picks
gown to pieces as woman does, and it
is the most delightful thing in the world
to have him describe the gown you are
wearing, because he knows absolutely
nothing whatever about it. 1t is you he
is looking at and he can no more tell the
color Of your gown than he can the color
of your eyes. All he knows is that both
are in harmony with their surrounding.
The well dressed woman from the mascu-
line and the feminine points of view are
two entirely different individuals.
-
Here, then, lies the secret of effect
dress in harmony. Dress in harmony not
only with your complexion, eyes, hair and
figure, not only in harmony with your
surroundings, but in harmony with your
hunor. For instance, if you feel demure,
wear gray. There is no color so demure
| as gray, perhaps because it is the Quaker
| color, only touch it up with little bit
| of warmer color to take away the cold
gray-wall atmosphere it is so apt to pro-
duce, unless the material is soft and
| filmy. Red is the best color when your
| spirits are at their gayest, especially on
| a chilly night in the glow of an open
| fire. but never make the mistake of wear
| ing red on hot day. Then your color
| is Nile green, touched up with white,
suggestive of sea spray. If the mood is
| particularly girlish, white is Miss Sim
| plicity herself. Pale blue, when in a
| dreamy mood, gives all the grace of baby
innocence, especially in harmony with the
eyes, but it is not as suggestive OF
warmth and glow as pink. Yellow, for
the girl who can wear it, is suggestive of
brilliancy. Lavender speaks of aristoc-
| racy, and purple of royalty. The effect
of the one can be spoiled by a slang word
while in the latter one should never be
| in any but a commanding mood. The
secret of all dressing, however, is to have
touch of ones favorite color somewhere
in close proximity to the face that it may
be reflected in the complexion.
/ The advance styles from Paris tell us
with every gown that will possibly af-
ford it.
The Ferris Wheel which made it's
debut in the Worlds Fair at Chicago, is
| to be outdone by what promises to be an
even greater attraction to the wonder
living public, at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. 1t will be mammoth top,
| 400 feet in height, and will resemble in
| appearance the old fashioned peg top
of the average school boy. It will be
| built of steel, with a stationary shaft in
| the centre, up and down which elevators
| will run. The floors will revolve around
| the shaft, and the sides will be open so
that a view Of the entire exposition
| grounds will be possible. The total floor
space will be 10000 square feet.

Honesty may be the best policy, but it
| is too often brutal policy. There are
occasions where an absolute untruth is
| not only more tactful, but on the ground
that s'politeness is to do and say the kind
est thing in the kindest way" more
! courteous. After all is not the tactful
liar more to be admired than the man
| truthful to cruelty? Honesty is prob
ably the most abused word in the Eng
| lish language. Like charity it is cloak
that covers many sins, chief among
which is brutality.
