Since color plays an important part
In the matter of beauty adorned, Ine

and color combinations, and in an M

OF color at all, her instincts and judS-

rest is comparatively easy and the smart
girl will as a result of her study of her
self naturally assume an lndivlduallty
in her clothes which proclalms them es-
sent!ally her own. No matter II the
STYLES she adopts be of the popular rather
than of the exclusive order and one sees
them every day on the avenues, in the
shops, IN the street cars, her manner OF
wearing them and OF adapting them to
her own personality Will give them a
cachet, distinction, which Will undoubt-
eddy assert her individuality,
And this will hold good throughout her
entire wardrobe Her street gowns VIII
assume that somewhat different air:
her Afternoon frocks will seem designed
especially for her; her evening gowns Will
look as though no one else could wear
them so successfully; even her resting
robes and bathing suits Will express her
individuality. though fashioned from ma
terials which are in general use and are
seen every day In general wear,
The new colored embroderles on which
Paris has set the seal OF her approval
are an item which the smart, girl
Will speedily take unto herself Wosn
with White, and preferably on mohair.

moment, the color combinations, which
can be worked in. are almost innumer-

dominating motif. and harmonious shades
worked in as relief.
