Black and white footwear has been
rather overdone in the last few

THINK THIS ADVICE OVER
Actress Recommends Women to Dress
Their Character Rather Than
Their Figure.

Dress your character, not your fig
ure, is the advice of famous actress
and rather surprising this advice
seems at first hearing. But think it
over well and the excellence of the
idea will appeal to you. Every wom-
an has a certain individuality Of her
own-a temperament, II you will
that makes her a little, or perhaps =
good deal, different from all other
women. 1t is the individuality-this
temperamert-that women should
dress up to according to the actress,
in order to make the personality more
marked anS convincing.
But an instructive carrying out of
this advice with no heed to the
promptirgs of reason may result in
disaster For example, there is al
ways the woman who weighs 200
pounds or Whereabouts, but whose per-
sonality is distinctly kittenish. Is
she to dress her character or her fig
ure? There is also the very little
woman who ought to belong to the
cuddly, appealing class. who yearns
to be impressive and stately. If she
insists upon wearing the garments of
the grenadier woman she may spoil
her chances of being fasinatingly
charming.
But between these two extremes
there is a very happy medium and in
this idea of dressing up to ones type
there is also a very valuable sugges-
ton. The importance Of rejecting
personal individuality in costume is
by many women who de-
.sigu their own clothes and hand the

designs to tailor, dressmaker and mil
liner to reproduce in practical guise.
The actress in her part is always
dressed in conformity with the charac-
ter she is portraying, but her cos
tumes-and there is an important
point-are made to suit her figure
lines while expressing a special sort
of personality. Therefore, II the de-
