as instructor, do not need instruction
as any one of these women can COM
mand real artists in clothes to do her
thinking il, by lack of time, or taste, or
inclination she prefers to use her gray
matter for other purposes.
1t is TO the imitators OF the well-dresseS
an elementary course in color and in
form would bring the best results. There
is no excuse for bad dressing even for
the woman of limited means, provided
she is willing to give as much time and
thought to the selection of her own
wardrobe each season as she gives in
criticism to her friends and neighbors.
Because a millionaire hostess exploits
yellow velvet or adopts the newest and
most extravagant form Of lace, or bead,
or fur trimming is exactly the reason
the woman of modest means should taboo
all these special features of each sea-
son. The milIion-heirers can very well
afford to promote trade and the latest
extravaganza for she can abandon any
gown she does not like without second
thought. while her less aftiuent neighbor
must, in plain language-get her money $
worth-from every purchase, be 1t
lace dinner gown. velvet visiting toilet
or merely a brand-new waist coat. Hence
to the woman of frugal mind. either by
nature or necessity, the color class
should come as a blessing much more
practical than suffrage or anti-suhrage
classes, and much more satisfying than
the Spugs.
When every woman selects the color
of her gown according to a well-thought-
out scheme the dictators in the form OF
manufacturers and designers will have
lost their terror for all but the very rich
or very extravagant. Individualists in
dress will be proud Of their individuality
when the latter becomes recognized as an
EXPRESSION of art rather than eccentric
ity.
In the present season color is even more
nronounced a factor in modish attire
than is material or fabric. The reason
why certain toned broadcloth suits can
he bought at a bragain is because neither
the material nor the color is in favor
with the fashion arbiters who nave de-
