Few women know how to put on

startling statement. but let US stop
and think over the matter quietly.
How frequently we see women with
dainty, well.made and even well.cut
clothes. and yet how few appreciate
the beauty OF the garment. and why?
Because the blouse is not pulled down
tightly at the waist line and fastened
in place either by hooks and loops or
safety pins. Then. too. the collar Is
