Is a very serious mdttef iof tne
business girl to keep up her appear
ance, for she who earns her living
cannot AFFORD to be careless and In
different. Employers are more critical
than ever before. and 1t Is no uncommon
thing for competent girls to lose good
positions merely because they are care
less In their dress.
There are hosts Of bright, good-looking.
well-dressed girls waiting for every posi-
ton, and the employer usually gets RID
Of the one who displeases his sense OF
uicety. The toilette is an important mat
ter. The appearance Of The hair 10
general cause Of complaint. and already
several of the large department stores
have placed a ban on certain styles OF
hairdressing. Many Of the girls are OF
the opinion that It comes down to
matter Of personal liberty. but such Ia
not the case. 1t IL simply insisting on
GOOD taste and the proper buSiness dress.
In many Of the large department stores
now q ban has also beeR placed on the
wearing Of cheap jewelry by the girl
employees Too elaborate shirtwaists are
alse barred.
Il h probably unjust when a girl is
fully competent to do the work to release
her from her position on account Of her
method Of dressing. But the employer
IL looking to his own ends. The simple.
prettily-cut dress Is always the most ap-
propriate for the business girl. Her hair
should never be dressed In an exaggerat-
Cd fashion The finger nails demand at
tention, and there should be an absence
Of paint and powder. One-piece frocks.
dainty and simple. are appropriate for
the working girl. and they always look

wrinkles.
One Of the pretty Paris fashions suit
able for the business girl is Of the dainty
frills Of tulle or net that are worn in
stead Of standing collars on the pretty
dressy blouses and gowns. They are from
a. inch to three inches deep and finely
gathered or knife-pleated. attached to
the yoke or collar at the base Of the
throat and worn in place Of the high
customed to wearing the rundown
Dutch collars. they are pretty and be-
coming: the fancy type Of blouse requires
something more fluffy as a finish at the
Aeck than a plain. fat collar.
When considering waists there are the
new Jokes that are very appropriate for
the business girl. They are made Of a
stra!ht band of tulle. chiffon or en-
brot1ered net and simply drawn on a
shirring thread around the neck and
again where they are attached to the
yoke Of the blouse. This is a distinct
revived Of the old-fashioned idea. and 1t
ID a much needed change after seasons
Of olahn Jokes or stocks Of tucked and
plain net and chiffon. 1t is quite In keep
ing, too. for the business girl. The new
long shoulder blouses are worn so much
that It Is almost impossible to and a
