DRESS ON SMALL INCOME.
Fave One well-Mads Street Gown
with Right Accessories and a
Handsome Evening Dress.

"My income Is so very small" sighs
many professional woman. If that is
so, do not dress beyond your income.
Buy good things. Cheap" clothing Ia
poor economy. Do not think that by
purchasing so-called cheap" boots
and shoes you are really saving mon
ey. II you can only afford one dress
for summer and one for winter, see
that each one is good and well made.
You cannot err in having the winter
dress tailor-made, and there are tall
ors who will turn cut really smart
gown at reasonable price.
Remember, taiior-made looks well
until there is scarcely any of II left
to look" Remember, also, II you in
vest in this style of dress, to see to
It that you accessories are immaculate.
Have your linen cravat irreproachable,
and your gloves, veil and shoes also
faultless. Do not mar the effect of
your really serviceable gown ty wear
ing big. aoppy hat with it. II you
cannot afford to sacrifice facial con-
tour by DOMINIC close, small hat Of
felt or straw. you can very possibly
wear rather large toque, which Is
Infinitely more suited to the tailor-cut
dress than a picture hat would be.
This dress does duty, not only for
winter, but for early spring and late
autumn, as any number of blouses can
be worn In conjunction with it.
French women confine themselves.
as rule, for walking, to quite modest
coloring. Black and white, gray, navy
blue--any of these may be safely worn,
and the most critical taste Is not likely
to be offended thereby. Suppose you
have a dark tailor-made dress. You
can always introduce note of color in
the cravat, and. IL you choose, corre-
spending note in the pe.ticoat
Then, as to evening frocks. Women
to whom an evening dress is neces-
sity, and who must look smart or die,
take heed, and think well before you
invest in the gown t,iat is to do long
service. Please, as you love your repu-
tation for dress, do not choose scarlet
or cerise. or any one that will live in
| peoples memories. You would not like
1t to be said, by her dress We shall
Know her!" Bug something that is not
too pronounced or conspicuously ag-
gressive. Buy something that is con-
vertible or adaptable. Black lace, net,
yelling, or silk wolfe is always q wise
choice. There are thousand different
touches by which you can transform a
black evening dress.
Charming blouses can be made by
those of you with light fin gers; and
now that we can buy robes with
material for bodice included" the
wonder is that more women do not
learn to be their own dressmakers.
Think how much can be saved in this
direction alone annually. Think of the
gloves, ties. wells and stockings that
the money you pay for making dresses
would buy you.
You say you have neither time nor
inclination for dressmaking. Well
that. after all, is matter for you to
| decide. More than one friend of mine
gets up early in the morning for that
sort OF work and spends the rest of the
day at an Office or IN studio. wearing
the garments their own fingers have
fashioned. and not looking home
made either. Take the greatest posi-
BILE care, whoever you are. and what
ever the nature of your work. to dress
suitably.
After all, the secret of good taste n
dress is to study your own style and
then to adapt your clothes TO your par
itcular style To wear only what really
suits you, no matter whether the color
or style be "the thing or not.-Boston
Globe.
