liable hints were given out by the vice
president of the association, to the I'M
married women in attendance, as to
how to be attractive to members of the
sterner sex, A number of Madison
dressmakers have been in attendance
at the convention and are eager to give
TO their customers some of the inspira-
ton gained.
Mrs. Linda Ross Wade took % girls
Cf the unmarried but willing" class
and told them what to wear and how
to wear il if they would snare men.
She is the vice president of the Nation
al Dressmakers' association, but she
didn't appear in an official capacity.
We girls should band together against
the common enemy-man," said Mrs
/ Wade. IF we can snare him well and
good. The next idea is to make his
/ imprisonment just as happy as posi-
BILE"
The girls cheered at this They
were eager for the trial
NOV girls the way to snare your
man is to look stunning" continued
Mrs Wade.
The girls were terror-striCken. Some
of them had turnup noses and small
eyes. Others had large noses and
mouths that were wide.
/ Modesty Becoming.
Il don't mean that you have to be
, Leautiful" explained Mrs, Wade.
THAT is merely incidental to the snar-
| ing of men. | said be stunning You
know man sees a stunning woman
and is infatuated. He sees that she IS
| stylish from head to foot she is pleas
| ing to the eye as a whole. The pretty
girl has to display her face Sometimes
She is dowdy and then she isn't pleas
ing. Better be stunning than be beau
tiful The stunning woman is always
more attractive"
The girls were attentive They were
hanging on the words which seemed to
, convey hope.
Then learn to draw the line be-
tween modesty and the false modesty
of the prude. The human hatrack
hasn't any business displaying her
hooks The girl with the pretty shout
ders and skin has no right to hide
them. But never have a gown cut too
low Be natural and your modesty
will tell you where to stop. That is the
trouble with the society girl. She isn't
natural Usually she is all affectation.
/ Usually she has her gowns cut too low.
| 1t is fatal Men like to associate the
girls that they love with the high
ideals Of their mothers. girl who
isn't modest always falls short
Girl Attacks the Problem.
The girls We're already figuring on
just how low they would have their
Gowns cut. They placed much conf
dence in the words of the modiste.
Then, girls, learn to distinguish be-
tween admiration and attention. Re
member that a man isn't always ad-
miring when he is staring.
The girls nodded their heads They
understood.
Sometimes it's we'll to take a gam
/ blers chance" continued Mrs. Wade.
Especially when it comes to colors.
! Try red sometimes if you are not quite
sure of your man. You know red has
most peculiar effect on men Those
men who are fond of red fairly dote
/ upon anybody who wears it. Those
men who do not like red fairly hate
/ Everybody who wears it, The chances
are in your favor. however. for the ma.
/ iority-the large majority-of men
/ love it."
The girl. vowed that they would try
/ it, and looked their thankfuIness for
the advice.
Then, girls. be simple in your dress.
Remember that the average man isn't
able to note the difference between
high.priced garments and moderate
priced garments or course, the men
that YOU want know the difference be-
tween sackcoth and broadCloth. But
they couldn't tell a $500 gown from
$50 gown The idea Is to have 1t be-
coming.
The girls were much interested
They were beginning TO see a great
white light
Then you must be careful. girls
You remember the men of this day
are wise. Time was when woman
didn't have to be attractive in the
morning. She could wear a shirt waist
as a dressing gown in the morning,
tuck in the ends In the afternoon and
wear it as a waist. You cant do it
now. The men have learned these
tricks They want to see how the girl
looks in the morning and they have
most embarrassing habit Of calling at
the most unexpected hours. Don't be
caught And the only way to run no
danger Is TO he attractive all the
while.
The girls vowed they would
