ONES COSTUME. MEANS MUCH
Girl That is "Fond Of Dress" Has
Nothing With Which She Need
Reproach Herself.

It is often used as a reproach
against girls in general that they are
fond Of dress" Nothing could be
more foolish, or generally unmerited
than the implied reproof.
h. The girl who is not fond of dress,
who does not delight in clothing her
pretty little person to the very best
advantage, is not normal; which
means that she lacks all things that
make girlhood.
Dress will transform the merely girl
into positive beauty, and make the
plain girl at least distinguished.
A neat, smart, well groOmed aspect
has secured more envfable positions
for the working woman than any abil-
ity to reel of incredible numbers Of
words minute on the typewriter, be-
cause employers rightly expect com
mon sense, neatness and self-respect
from the girl who garbs herself so
suitably. ,s.
Il Take the case of the damsel with
flaming locks. In pink or pale blue
one pities her; in white or brown, or
brack, she is an artists dream.
Every girl should study her special
style and dress up to it It is one OF
the most pleasant of many pleasant
life duties!
