fleets the colors Of her mind and taste,
and the very feathers on her hat show
which way the winds OF her fancy
blow. SO, girls, remember that the

thing no notices is neatness. Tho wo-
man who is frowzy In her dress, whose
skirts hike up In the front and dip

implusive, affectionate, warm hearted
and delightful as a household pet, but
a bad working partner. Closely akin
TO her IS the woman whose clothes are
pretty in themselves. but not suitable
for her. This Is the sort of woman
who buys things because they strike
