 Since the world began it has been the desire Of every normal woman to appear attractive, and when nature hes not been generoustto her In point of looks, she is both anxious and will ing to use every means to augment or enhance s'!ch charms as she may al ready possess. .
 Inst1nctfve1y her thoughts turn fo- ward dress as the most important aid in her endeavors.~ Without a. doubt she is entirely right. Not infrequent- ly has professional beauty gained her reputation solely because she. has discovered exactly the right colops and designs that will bring 4outs her good points and conceal her imperfections. | But not all women arc gifted with an instinct for selecting exactly what is suited ito them. This does not ina ply that they lack good taste. Not at au Such persons will often most wisely criticize the toilet worn by their friends, but when it comes to choosing for themselves their confidence is apt to forsake them. They know intui- lively when anything is altogether
 wrong, but do not always know how to set it right. It is this class of wo- men who suffer most from their sar- ltorial errors. Far better for their peace of mind were they absolutely ig- Enorant of the laws of good taste in gowning. '-tfe
