There is nothing shoddy. I have
known a Niennese woman to save IN
her money for two years in order that
she might buy one single piece OF sa-
pie; but once bought. she knew that |
she had secured a real possession in
dress. The money was there in plain

a mistake from a beauty standpoint.

to arrange a special ha:rdressing to go

out her hair in fine relief against the

hair goes with her gown.
Who ever saw a real Viennese do up
her hair the same way morning noon
and night for weeks at a time as so
many well-appointed American women
do? l know women who always wear
the hair high; others that always wear
it low. oh. if they only appreciated

Il would speak of the marvellous
color inventions of the Viennese dress
artist, White is generally acknowl-

perishable. 1t must be continually

quality it must be dry cleaned. This
means q steady outlay of funds.
Therefore to the student of the beau
tiful and the economical white becomes
next to impossible. There must be a
substitute. In the Vienna studio the
substitute for white is the pale tone.
The artistic designer in dress will show
you creations in new rose cream of {
milk. orchid violet and all the other
soft and near white tints. You feel
that you are pTittly framed in white
without whites liability to soil. 1t is a
lesson in beauty and economy.
