Dress is a hallmark OF the woman!
II may not make her, but It is ono
OF her most useful introductions TO
the world.
I'll were seeking position and
could have but one friend / think I
would AK for good.lookNg clothes.
because first impressions arc tho vital
ones in nine out of ten cases.
AS someone has well said, charac.
tersmanifests itself in what one wears.
An employer often accepts or rejects
q worker on his appearance: Judging
perhaps funconsciously, his ability By
his outward fitness.
Tosthe young girl, just starting out
in life, seeking TO carve niche in
the worlds hall OF usefulness.-be 1t
professional, business, artistic, or
what you WILL would like TO offer
this suggestion:
Dress with minute care before you
set. out, upon your quest for the illus.
i've position.
Pick from your wardrobe the dress
or the suit which is most becoming.
Shun frill and furtelow. Keep your
face clear of rouge pot and lip stick.
Arrange your hair neatly: not in the
extreme OF fashion.
Simple, well.ftting suitable clothes,
minus the flub-dub too many girls
fancy they should don at such times,
are among the best recommendation
YOU can carry to the ohservaut, criti.
cal man or woman who is used to
sizing up people on first appearance.
Fortune does not, necessarily, mean
fine wardrobe.
One man have regular "aggrega.
ton of clothes and nothing really
smart to wear.
Individuality is the secret of sue.
cessful dressing! 1t Is a great mis-.
take to affect certain type OF dress
or hat merely because they" are
wearing them this season. For dress.
ing well is the business adjoining one
self in becoming apparel.
One OF the first things a girl should
be taught, i think, with relation 10
dress, Is the Importance OF studying
herself and what suits her. This lit.
tie habit, once formed, will prove an
inestimable aid to her, and mighty
fine short cut" In buying the right
things.
Ina general way, l believe It is wise
lid altogether pleasant to conform
% the prevailing fashions with this
one proviso:
Don't be extreme!
On the stage, speaking or screen,
weSexpect to see ultra styles and they
can be worn with good effect.
But The woman in private life, II l
may be allowed to offer an opinion

ton and looks better II she keeps
somewhere near the middle OF the
road
This does not mean, however, that
she should not DO as smart as the
tailor, the modiste and the halter can
make her.
Manga woman who never boosted
beauty has had the beauty tag hung
on her willing shoulders by the world.
The secret was not in her loneliness
of feature. or azure eyes, but in the
smartness and fitness OF what she
wore. She looked beautiful.
There probably never has been a
season with more promises In It for
eemtninity than this.
Furs. so rich and so becoming, are
apidly popular In air sorts OF aces
Tory trimmings.
yelyets and broadcloths lead the
iany lovely textures used In coats
nd gowns, offering both sottness and
lyle.
With short skirts, full enough to be
comfortably; hats large and small.
Ind d big enough variety Of coats and
uits to- aecommodate tall and short,
Ylat and thin, and old and young

Much has been said against Dame
Fashion and her fancies, but ], for
5ne. am for her with all my heart.
