Sensible Dress
From a Modiste's Viewpoint

Il know a woman who is sensible in
her Dress said Il modiste whose word
is law to a very high priced clientele.
And she is the best dressed woman

Sensible dress no longer means ugly
dress. 1t means something Fashionable.

means and standing i'll society. And
these points cover great deal. Dress
sensibly is the first rule of the wardrobe
these days. And each woman interprets
it for herself
1T is sensible to wear a train in tie
house for several reasons. For one
thing it is prettier and more graceful
and for another it looks dressier. \ very
inexpensive material looks elegant when
made up with Il tight fitting hip yoke
and long train. The style makes il
appear more elegant than il really is.
That is my experience in making up
gowns and / make up hundreds ever
year. Make them as elegant as you can.
I have one customer who is marvel
ously sensible. | never knew a woman
who could dress as well on as little as
she. Her dress allowance would sickcu
woman accustomed to a great deal ana
would seem only a small amount to the
average woman, yet she dresses eN-
quisitely upon it. And the secret is tie
way she buys and the way she manages.
She takes advantage Of the bargain
counter. That might almost be taken for
granted. She buys when things are
cheap.
But her main piece of economy is d.

Her first rule is to buy carefully. SIZE

buys at least two year. and these witt
her remodeled dresses keep her looking
very smart.
The clever dressers are those WHO
