TIME art of dressing! Is not
that subject dear to the
heart of every daughter of
Eve? Sometimes l think our
mother Eve must have learned
some effective drapcries in fig
leaves, and that her first efforts to
be charming bear fruit in our de
sire to-day to be chic.
As French woman I take a
natural interest in ''le grand chic"
in the idea of being smart and
dainty as well. As an actress |
have had to study how to make
the most of my every good point.
As woman, | shall gladly give
my sisters the benefit Of all that
| have learned.
First, ! shall give you a few
rules and suggestions. Then from
the general I shall proceed to the
particular and draw a parallel and
some suggestions from the clothes
YOU see pictured here.
Simple Ruels.
Every woman should dress &C
cording to her height, complexion
and figure. In order to do this,
be sure that you have a careful
inventory of exactly what your
height. complexion and figure are.
Before going on your shopping
tour. TAKE ONE GOOD LOOK IN
YOUR TRUTHFUL MIRROR
The tall woman must avoid long
lines of an exaggerated sort and
stripes, even as the short one must
refuse to wear large plaids If you
are in any way different from the
average, don't emphasize that diff
ference until It amounts to an abb
normallty.
The texture and color of your
clothes should harmonic with
your complexion For instance, if
YOU have very high color you viii
Of surety not wear white.
A very red face above white gar
ments looks grotesque. A pale
complexion is emphasized by dark
material.
Now, if your pallor is your

you avoid? Know thyself. Know
yourself, mademoiselle, and soon
your admiring world will not know
you-for you will be transformed
to your own greatest loveliness.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-03

beauty and you want to bring out
your clear Wilderness of skin, wear
dark clothes. But if you are
painfully pale, do not make your
self look lean and hungry by wear
ing dark and somber garments.
Be simple, be neat. study HAIR
MONY IN COLORING-and make
sure that your clothes fit you.
Fit" you is an important word to
emphasize. Have your clothes fit
your figure and have them fitting
for your figure and cOloTing.
An Evening Gown.
Now, mesdames, behold some
illustrations of my ideas and theo-
ries: In the center is Figure I.
! am wearing a suit that you can
develop for the Winter in supple
satin brOadcloth with an inset of
biscuit-cOlored cloth at the bottom
of the skirt, for tiny undersleeVes
and even for a waistcoat to give
you great warmth. Please no
tice the extremely long line of the

woman look tall and svelt. The
slope of the braid below the hips
gives further Tenderness, and the
fullness below the armhole and in
the drapery Conceals any surplus
fat Don't ever get the idea that
tight clothes will make You appear
slender and youthful. Tight clothes
reveal-and they generally reveal
the stout woman with unflattering
clearness.
Figure 2, on the left, is one
of my pet evening gowns. If you
do not wish to go to the extreme
expense of an deliberately beaded
robe, you may use my ideas in any
supple clinEing material. The
long, round train adds height; the
drapery and tiny slit In front
make it easy to walk in a close
fitting and clinging gown. The
long Y at the back of the gown
will add to the apparent length Of
your waist The cap-shaped sleeve
permits you to show your white
shoulder without sacrificing mod
esty, and finally the tunic, with its
faring line, will conceal hips that
are slightly too large But this
line around the figure is not for
the woman who must avoid any
thing that will make her look fat
and dumpy!
And now for my smart little
black and white street gown on the
right Black and white are won
derful in clever combination. Clear
