| Sse SouV Ne'9Hpor As your MtFror
1t is curious suggestion to use
your neighbor or our friend as mir.
ror, and one which seems to imply
unkindness. But there is no compro.
mise in being truly critical with a
view Of self betterment.
All Of us have friends who, no mat.
ter how much affection we may feel
for them. have certain little habits
and manners which are an unpleas-
ant touch to the picture.
These little imperfections require
no criticism, but II viewed properly,
they will serve as little sermons
which, II needed, will be OF great
benefit.
1t may be an Indifferent manner in
walking a careless and slouchng hab
1t Of sitting. an unrestrained or dis
cordant note in the voice, or one of
a thousand things inharmonious with
charm and polish.
The observance of such imperfec.
lions will amount to idle criticism II
they are noted and nothing more.
The necessary thing to do Is TO ap-
ply those imperfections to yourself -
IL they are obvious enough to attract
your attention Have you some Of the
same which attract the attention OF
your friends and neighbors?
Thus you make mirror Of people
"a speaking and acting niirror-by
which you see acted before you the
things you would avoid in following
your own ideas Of developing charm.
One may have a bad habit Of laugh
ing harshly and loudly; SO keep watch
upon yourself and see If the fault you
note in others is sometimes commit
ted by yourself.
Note in your neighbor the express
sion Of the face and see how easy it
Is to read In that expression the
character Of thoughts that shape it
And II you read there anything of ma
lice, or hatred, or envy, or jealousy,
be sure that others will read the
same on. your face If you entertain
any of these destructful emotions.
How often do we hear assertions
like this: "She Is a pretty girl and
would be altogether lovely were 1t
not for a certain expression of irony
| constantly in evidence upon her
| facet"
There is the Installation Of one
false emotion actually destroying the
beauty Of face-acutally discountins
the girl being discussed-and she
probably never has heard an honest
criticism for her friends would hest
tate to offend or hurt her.
Yet people may be saying the
same thing of you. So study these de.
| fects in others, not with view OF
criticising others, but of yourself.
And II It is close and dear friend
who is thus handicapped, find some
tactful way to advise and help her
Remember: If you readily recognize
defects in others, you are doubly to
blame If the same defects are 70 be
recognized in yourself.
| The New Coats
One of the noticeable features Of
the present style. Is the leniency
which has been shown in cut, dec
Grafton and length. To all types OF
wearers there Is promised becoming
ness, which factor every women priz-
es beyond expensive fabrics unique
| line or "the very latest, madam, from
Paris"
The silhouette of the majority OF
coats is straight. There is no nip.
ping in at the waist, and short line
from shoulder to waist is reminiscent
of empire modes. This is emphasize
in various waists. The back of one
imported model has a narrow belt OF
suede, which passes through button
holed slots at each side and Is held
down by huge buttons.
The belt, by the way, is a notable
feature of many Of the suits. 1t need
not be continuous, many models hav-
ing belts at the back, which hold
down the fulness which is creeping
back into the cut.
Bulgarian blouse suits are a very
important chapter in the coat story
These have fulness at the upper por'
ton and a gathered peulum. Broad
and narrow girdles and sashes define
the waist line, which In these mod
els is appearing several inches below
the normal position.
Russian lines with becoming fas

which will ever be in favor with wo
men who can wear jaunty lines.
