Is talked and written about the proper
dress for business women as If it was E
thing apart from the dress of the ordinary
woman.
Tho truth Is that all women who lool
well on small means are those who follow
most closely the ways of the well dressed
business woman. Her one aim Is to get {
street outit together which is prettily at
tractive and which will stand the wear ant
yet be reasonably economical
This is also supposed to be the aim of tho
ordinary woman who has to dress on small
means-but does she accomplish it? Wher
You see a woman coming from those streets
whose people are of the middle class In the
matter of means. you can tell at once where
she is wife and housekeeper or whert
she is a business woman.
The woman who leads the domestic life
appears differently at different times and
has more variety in her clothes, but the
business woman Is the better dressed
There isn't one woman In hundred who
after u few years of married life. is seen
wearing the kind of a street suit which Is
distinctly complete and fit for the purpose.
The business woman. who has to wear keI
clothes every day. finds that it is necessary
TO have few really good ones which are
we'll cut and not too extreme in color and
fashion. She has good suit which slit
wears for both business and recreation, de-
pending on light gloves and more fanciful
waists and a change of hat or wells to give
her a dressed up appearance.
The wife who starts out to follow The
same plan Is for the first time in line with
the advice of her husband, which is nearly
always If not always, get a good suit and
wear 1t. For heavens sake. now you
have got It don't keep 1t for best and hang
it up in the closet" beseeches this long
suffering payer, of bills
He can see the reason for coming out with
good sum of money for a tailor made
which his wife has on every time she goes
out on the street. But he cant see any
thing in putting 81 here and so there Into
the making over of halfway gowns which
add nothing to the wardrobe except variety.
Let the every day woman do as the busi-
ness woman does in getting one good outfit
and then let her wear II for all afternoon
going and for general outings. Dressed in
the same way for all the every day affairs
that take her out. she is like the business
woman or man in having the look of q
somebody" And she not only gains in
distinction. but in time saved In planning
what she IS going to wear
With this plan she can become a far bet
ter dressed person than the business woman
by putting her skill in making of accessories
and in the keeping up of her things,
which is a business in itself and upon
which so much depends.
