The answer In not al easy as 1t
seems. Even II the wardrobe contains
several pretty frocks their possessor
does not always know just which one
would be the most suitable for the
occasion. Many people do not realize
that there Ia as strict an etiquette Of
clothes as there Is of manners. They
know OF course that n wrapper or the
kind OF house gown one can buy for a
dollar or little more is intended only
for morning and that q regulation
evening dress must be worn only In
the evening. But any other costume.

wear elaborate finery to market in

| II her husband wore his dress suit to

would have been the same.
Now, a woman who really under
stands the art Of dress wears COM
paratively simple clothes In the
morning: for the street a well cut

elaborate gowns and richly trimmed
hats for tho afternoon, and never

Jewels are meant for evening wear
or at least with q handsome after
noon frock.
For calling wear your new cloth or
silk suit and your very best hat. For
an afternoon tea the costume should
be the same. Always wear white
gloves when making a formal call or
attending an afternoon reception.
At the opera, a woman should dress

dresses are usually worn.
At dinner parties the proper dress
depends very much on Just what sort
Of an affair 1t Is to be. At large and
formal dinner evening dress for wo-
men Is the proper thing. but at q
small dinner among people OF moder-
ate means. afternoon reception gowns
are often worn. That is a pretty
gown OF cloth or silk. such as one
would wear to an afternoon bridge
But at any dinner. no matter how
small. where women are present. the
costume Of the men should be the
'same-the dress suit.
