THE SECRET OF THE
 WELL-DRESSED WOMAN.

1 Advice on how to dress that may 1 well carry weight, since it comes from the fountain head, or one of them, of ! all fashion wisdom is given by Paul Pioret in Harper's Bazaar. He says,
 The well dressed woman is the one ! who picks out her gown, her adorn- ments, simply because they make her appear more pleasing not beca use other people are wearing that style
 or because it will be a paIpab1e proof of her husbands bank account. Be- size the purity of her Grecian profile
 by winding a band Of gold around
 her hair, why should 20 the next day and 50 the day after that do their
 the way fashion sways women today.
 The only well dressed women are those that dare and create, original idesls not those who serVile1y follow fashion. Whereas the rich woman can satisfy her least caprice in a most haphazard fashion, the woman of av- atcua1ly forced to think about her
 wardrobe, is more apt to realize what is suitba1e to her and what is not. She learns how to choose and what to select. She acquires the art5sof dress ing well. To give you an example: All women whose wealth may be varfabIy appear with a string of pearls around their necke. Pearls are essentially becoming to certain types only, and cannot possibly be suitable to all women, but they seem to have become visible sign of social caste. To how many women does a pearl necklace add any beauty? How many women choose their pearl necklace for reasons of good taste and style. that is to say, in order to set off the beauty of their coloring?
 Choose whatever is suitable to the time, the place, the circumstance, the landscape, the place you are staying, whether it be a large city a villa ge, or a watering place. Choose whatever is most in harmony with your charac- ter for a. dress can be the expression of a state of mind if you but try to make it. There are dresses that sing of joy Of fife. dresses that weep. dress
