this Is really true. for no matter how
handsome trimming may be. plastering
1t on. hit or miss, will not add to the
beauty OF a costume but will, on the
other hand, mar any gown and produce
an effect OF overelaboration and ex-
pensiveness rather than of real beau
ty. One often feels. on looking at
handsome gown which Is trimmed
most deliberately but perhaps not in
the most perfect taste, that it would
be much better without most OF its
adornment, and in such case the cost
OF handsome trimmings seems
wicked extravaganza.
The gown shown is a good example
OF a costume which has been trimmed
deliberately and effectively. The cos
tune is undoubtedly a striking one.
scarcely suited to a woman OF very
quiet taste, but there are many Wom-
en- to whom striking costumes are
most becoming, and who should there
fore not hesitate to wear them, and for
such the arrangement Of trimming
shown In the Illustration IS most at
tractive one.
The design may be carried out either
with embroidery wrought on the ma
terial. with allover embroidery such
as may be had In the shops. with
heavy applique or passementerie. or
with a pattern cut from brocade OF
lowered silk and appliqued to the
material of the gown. The house
gown. shown IN the illustration, Of
black and white messaline, tells how
the striped fabrics are employed as
trimming. 1t shows also the high-cut
skirt and the ubiquitous vest Of shirred
chiffon and exquisitely embroidered
banding.
This striped material in black and
white is very dashing, but the color
combination in the strip Of embroid-
cred net Is most delicate, soft pinks,
blues and dead white.
A word Of warning In making mp all
fall raiment. Avoid the conventional
pettjcoat Or drop skirt Dressmakers
will stand out for tahetas. because II
has body. but get a supple tafeta.
and n you can induce the lady Of au-
tocratic habits to use ii, select MESA
line Of the softest quality.
Your frock must not be bouffant,
but must give the effect Of no lining,
no petticoat. to be truly smart.

LEARN TO BREATHE PROPERLY
Better Health and Greatly Improved
Carriage 10 Thus Acquired.

One Of the first things that the WON
an who is earnestly endeavoring to
obtain beauty must seek to learn 10
how to breathe properly. Have you
ever noticed that women who are
singers have prettily developed
bust. q rounded waist, firmly set
shoulders, as well as an easy carriage
and well poised head! Not only Is
this seen in professional singers. but
notice your own friends who have gone
in for vocal culture for their own
pleasure and you will find that this Is
true In almost every case.
A fine carriage is often mistaken
for fine figure. The woman who at
tracts notice holds her head we'll up.
her shoulders back, and she walks
briskly and lightly. Another woman
may have a much better figure, but
she moves along with dropping head
and sloping shoulders and a slow
heavy walk. You cannot breathe prop
erly with stopped shoulders.
Begin your breathing lesson In the
morning the minute you hop out OF
bed. Raise to the half all the windows
in the room and walk slowly across
the room three times, with your hands
upon your hips and your chest held
high. Breathe from the abdomen.
This exercise should be taken before
any clothes, with the exception Of a
warm coy wrapper. have been put
on. After practicing this exercise.
which should not take more than ten
minutes. every morning for q short
time you will find yourself in better
health generally and with a fuller
chest and bust and a smaller rounded
waist.
