IT'S TIE WAY CLOTHES ARE
WORN THAT COUNTS

GIFTS not so much what you wear as
how you wear IT," APPRAISED a
young business woman when an assoc
ciate asked her for the secret of her
trim appearance. Observation proves
IT, There are certain little traits Of
dress which the best dressed women
acquire. They seldom allude to them.
But it is either by chance or intuition
they practice these little arts. which
are certainly worth while.
The perfectly Rroomed woman, for
example. is always sure that the back
of her collar fits snugly and is never
pinned over a half inch or more to one
side. II the collar becomes a little
large or stretched she does not thrust
In an ordinary pin, but runs in little
tucks or plaits on each side of the fas-
tening. thus gaining a neat. trim ef-
feet
And another little point known to
the gToomed wonfn arent bought
shirt waists is that the sleeves at the
wrists are apt 10 be too large. so she
runs little tUcks In the cuffs or she re-
moves the hooks and eyes and takes
up the seam until the sleeve fits per-
fcctly. Many women do not realize
that sleeve perfection il often the
weakest part Of q ready made garment.
and a little time taken in alteration
will work wonders in this direction.
Then a word 10 women who aim al
ways to wear immaculate white. Do
not overlook the band of your panama
or outing hat. whatever 1t be. The
black marks from a hatpin are far from
attractive IL is a simple matter 10
change the hatband several times dur
ing the summer The adjusting OF the
veil with little forethought is an alb
solute necessity with the small hat OF
today. when done satisfactorily the
tiny chapoau becomes a thing Of beau
ty. II a veil is put on too hurriedly
the hair is sure TO be too fiat against
the face The right way TO don a veil
with the small hat Is first to put il
around the throat ard fasten il with a
tiny hairp!n al the nape OF The neck
All of the fuIIness OF the veil should
be disposed here rather than on the
hat The OBJECT In putting on the veil
IS 10 press the hair upward. thus avoid
ing the fat look OF the ordinary
straight locks.
The well dressed woman is wearing
