CLOTHES MAKE THE WOMAN.
CBy Beatrice Fairfax

Not one woman in the world can af-
ford to be Indifferent to dress. Men
are properly supposed to be Indifferent
to woman's dress, and so they are 30
far as fabric is concerned. But a man
Is always conscious of the fact when a
woman is inappropriately dressed.
| III woman dresses in a loud, fiashy
manner she is very apt to be misjudged.
| A well-bred. modest woman never
dresses in such manner as to attract
attention.
A dress that is loud in color or that
fits too tightly, is bound to attract un-
pleasant attention.
Gay colored stockings are in the
worst of taste.
The other day l sat opposite a wo-
man in the subway. She was young
and good looking, and at first sight
thought very well dressed. She wore
handsome street suit and smart hat.
Her furs were good. A glance at her
feet dispelled the illusion. Her shoes
were shabby and looked as though they
had not been blacked in weeks. They
were also run over at the heels. Just
that one thing utterly spoiled her ap-
pearapce,
The woman who is getting on" and
beginning to show the wrinkles cannot
afford to dress like young girl. She
must give up the brilliant colors and be
content with grays and whites and Law
enders.
A youthful hat can make a middle
aged woman look ridiculous. So can
curls and puffs and pompadours. Don't
wear an unbecoming hat simply because
it happens to be in style. This seasons
styles in hats may be most unbecomirg
to you. If so. be wise and get one
that, while not in style, may neverthe-
less be most becoming to you.
AS rule, it is fatal for woman to
get it into her head that she is pictur-
esque. She tries to dress to her style
and the result is far from pleasing.
l once went to dinner where all the
women present We're of that type.
Such a lot of limp, draggled-looking
gowns and frouzy heads / never saw.
All the husbands looked as though they
lived on canned foods and nuts.
A man does not care a whit about
your looking picturesque, but he does
like you to look neat. That is one rea-
son why most men admire hospital nur-
ses-they always look the picture of
dainty neatness,
| Try and wear the colors that suit
you, If your eyes are blue or gray do
not wear brown, and if they are brown.
do not wear dark blue.
If your hair is fair and your color
bright, red will not suit you.
If you are sallow, avoid green's and
pinks.
Conspicuous stripes and plaids are
never in good taste.
If you are stout, always choose a
dark shade and have your clothes as
plain as possible.
The white ruche at the neck, while
pretty enough, is not becoming to one
person in fifty.
AS a rule, men dislike large hats.
They like turbans and toques that set
close to the head.
Every woman has visions of herself
in picture hat, but the reality is not
always as lovely as the vision.
1t is woman's duty to dress as well
and as becomingly as her means per-
NIT. A plain woman can improve her
appearance tenfold by suitable dress
ing, and pretty woman can greatly
enhance her beauty.
To wear becoming clothes and then
to forget about your looks is the secret
