F WE will look rather deeply into some of the problems of living we
will see that money is not 5 o essential to securing certain desired
l results as W g may think.
-- Almost every normal woman desires ito make a pleasing appear
ance. And to do this, most women think they must depend largely upon
dress And If they haven't the money to afford style and richness and
variety they conclude they cannot make a n attractive appearance; II at
any rate cannot lie with the woman who cn buy the latest styles, elegant
materials and all the little etceteras that add SO much to a smart appear
ance.
But honestly, which is the most attractive In q woman, daintinsss or
dross? Which woman pleases you the more the u who impr@es you
with her absolute daintiness and freshness and whoIesomeness, Or the one
who simply gains attention because Of her stylish clothes, the richness OF
her silks or veNeh, " the glitter Of her Jewels? Doesn't the dainty woman
more than the merely welldressed one2
And daintiness is a thing that has little to do with cost. A woman
can be dainthy dressed. ven If she can't be extensively dressed. Danuness
ts a matter OF good grooming. 1t takes some time, but It doesn't require
pssrance needn't despair, " II her pocketbook is slim. If she will go
In fr daintiness she ca be quite 3 charming Is the extensively gowned
woman, perhaps vel more sc.
And n O matter how little money she las o spend on dress, dafntness
Will lend the same charm. Only, the less money she has, the more should
she go in for simplicity. Foolish fripperiss are not for the n with a
small dress allowance. Simple things, as good in quality as possible, give
from daintiness, For the dainty girl always gives the impression of being
refined; and coarsenes N dress shows lack OF refinement, l. Ia OF a par
with vulgarity in manners.
Neatness is another essential of daintness. And this is not a matter
Of cot but of care. Shoes need to be blackened, govss msnded, skirt
taut way without dangling, unAdy ends. And here again. If time is scant,
simplicity counts. For the busy woman a keep a simple toilette fresh
sufficient are to keep 1t in a vel sroomed condition. Better a smart wing
Or a knot OF ribbon or velvet u the hat than a feather all out Of curl.
Better som simple. but good trimming than a cheap willow plume.
So you SCI In b matte" II n attractive appearance, al in many
another thing. money is not SC absolutely essential to success, If we will
look 8 little deeply into the subject. We are all very apt ito conclude that
Il We haven't money, we can't do this or that or the other. Money is very
helpful in the problem Of living. But 1T by nc means controls the situation.
The best things of life are beyond the power of money to buy. And some
Of the seemingly more trivial things an BE secured with but little money,
II we will put wits to work instead OF merely opening O r pocketbook.
And the woman who Will determine to be absolutely dainty in her appear
ance need not envy her extensively gowned sister. For the we'll groomed.
dainty woman has a charm quito as appealing as style o expense In dress;
and If she will make the most of this she need lot feel that in appearance.
