Such simplicity has unfortunately
come to an end. The point has been
reached where a woman cannot dress as
she pleases, but must please to dress
like the majority Of women. 1t is a
blessed dispensation that she usually
likes to be in the fashion, or somewhere
near it, and feels it no hardship to con-
form to prevailing modes. In fact, she
usually likes it. Her chief difficulty is
how to manage to conform when she has
not enough money to do it on.
Appropriate dressing should be an
easy matter for the woman who has a
generous allowance for her wardrobe
Then it is her own fault if she does not
have suitables costumes for every emer-
gency. Appropriate dressing is also
without complications for the women
who never go anywhere except to
church, and whose needs are supplied by
working frOcks and )ne gown for best.
has her troubles, but they are as nothing
to those of the woman who must, so to
speak, serve two masters,-or who, in
other words, must fill more func-
tiOns than those of the housekeeper and
church gOer, and must dress for these
other things without exceeding a COM
paratively small sum-. Such a woman
finds dressingWell more or less ola prob
lem usually more rather than less.
TO women like this the fashion of
separate skirts and waists has come as a
positive boon. In the days when one
must have whole gown of one materi-
al, dressing was more complex even than
1t is now. Every one whose memory
goes back to those times can recall how
the waists gave out before the skirts
and left one with supply of the latter
in tolerable order and painful dearth

worthy, a shirt waist can BIZ made to
take the place of the Outworn garment.
Even with this expedient it is still
possible for women to make mistakes
in their dressing. One Of the chief of
these they commit when they buy con-
splcious clothing. Il am speaking now
OF the woman who must wear one gown.

be charming at first, but before the

the woman of slender means. The
woman who is able to ride IN her own
carriage or to summon one from a

a new winter coat once lii tWJ OF three
years must restrain her desire for such
p0mps and yanities. Her cold weather
outer garment may be long, but it must
be dark enough to make it suitable for
street wear II she chooses to follow
her fancy in the matter Of dainty lin
ings, we'll and good, but the outward
appearance OF the cloak must be sober
and subdued.
After all, one Of the best aids TO appro-
priateness Of dress is found in consist
ancy. A woman does not wish to order
her clothing on the principle of the
| tramp who when aske,. what were his
needs in the fine of dress, replied, 81 kin

The body is a gooi deal more than
! raiment and there is more to a good ap-
pearance than fine clothes. The woman
who has trained her body and improved
her complexion by athletic occupations
by long walks, by horseback riding, by
bicycling, by snch games as golf and
tennis, and has known enough to take
care of her health after she gets it, is
pretty likely to look we'll if she must
dress simply. Bearing this in mind, she
will come to the conclusion that she
makes a better investment when she buys
the right sort of an outing suit than
when she puts money into party gown
What such aU outing costume should be,
will try to tell next week.

wear, another Of lighter material for
spring and fall, and shirt waists, plain
and dTessy, at discretion, woman may
feel provided for, even il she goes out a
good deal.
One sensible woman Of my acquain-
lance makes it a rule not to have more
than two ordinary gowns ON hand at one
time. AS soon as the first one begins to
lose its original freshness she BUYS
another and takes number one into SER
vice for second best. By the time this is
wholly past worthy the second gown is
ready to retreat to more retired position
and to yield the field to new costume
The only objection to this in tailor
made frocks is that the Jackets are like
ly to accumulate until there are more
on hand than one can wear out. So it is
as we'll to break the sequence by an oc-
casiOnal skirt.
All this is for the plain house or street
dress. When one comes to evening
dress the matter is more complicated.
Even here the seperate waist comes in
as respectable makeshift. [ know

Simple styles should also be chosen BY
the woman who can have only limited

be avoided. There is the same objection
to these that there is to the startling
effects to which | referred a moment
