There is no charge that a New

ethics and our morals; call us cold,

I'VE will smile complacently, but ev-

A single visit to one of our restau-
rants or theaters will convince you
that the conventions of evening
dress are either shockingly misun-
derstood or deliberately defied by the
average woman OF means and posi-
ton. She wears hat and high

inappropriate for an evening affair as

] was very much interested, a short
time ago. in hearing a discussion on
the subject of evening dress among
women Of moderate means. The chief
reason that was advanced for its
general disregard economy-did not
seem convincing. An evening gown
need not cost any more than any
other kind of dress, and If wom-

ness there are all sorts of clever
makeshifts of collars and chemisettes
that will let an evening gown see

No; the true reason is that the
American woman is not accustomed
to seeing the decollete gown in pub

UP to it. She feels self-conscious
and i'll at ease In evening dress at
any but certain recognized functions.
She ought to feel i'll at ease and

AN ART OF sMILING


\ What charm there is in a smile,
yet what a rarity these days! Many
OF us, especially women, have lost
the art. We have smiled so much
and so often to order, from sense
of duty, that now the charming spon-
taneity of the act has entirely dis
appeared.
A smile to be worth anything must
not be continuous performance. The
habitual smile of society is totally
devoid of charm from its unchang-
ing and unbroken quality. 1t has no
more meaning than mask, like
which it may be removed at will.
What do society maids know, those
who are called bright, animated.
sparkling. of the genuine, the uncon-
strained smile? When the sun breaks
out of a cloudy sky, then the heavens
brighten. So, the sudden light IRA
dating a grave and tender face is
. the glow that counts, the flash that
is irresistible.
Many a demure little mouse of
woman receives love where the bril-
liant society favorite must be salts
fed with admiration, all because some
man has been caught by the thrill
of the soul-smile. 1t Is a gift Of the
gods, just as beauty is or pleasing
voice.
There are features which do not
lend themselves readily to smiles,
yet plain face at a momentary light
ing up may become irresistible. Ex-
preston can change the countenance
almost beyond recognition. Nothing
is more difficult to paint than a
smile. A grin may be photographed,
but rarely smile; for instead there
appears SNUG expression which
initiates while it amuses.
The rainbow smile belongs to poetry.
with smile on her lip and a tear
In her eye" says Scott. This
brings to mind the sort of heroine he
loved-brave, tender, sympathetic and
exquisite. Sweeter than all is the
smile of sympathy; word is said,
meaning grasped, shade of feel.
Ing understood, and instantly comes
the answering glow. It may flash
from the face of stranger, yet is
always welcome and fascinating. or
ten it sows the seeds OF love.
How exquisite is the look that
passes between mother and child, or
between man and woman who live
only for each other! The genuine
smile 'is a sure passport Coming
from the heart, it fascinates man and
woman alike.
1T coaxes the most unrelenting, it
softens ill-temper and goes twice as
far as seryile tip or lordly command
This is the heaven-sent smile. 1t
cannot be achieved by art; 1t is the
outcome of sweet, sunny nature

Mrs. Stockton. She had copied the
