Gay Clothes and Youth
tBY ANToINEI'rE DONNELLYo

Not long ago woman or 1ortE-nHe
said: FRANKLY. I feel younger now
than I did when l was thirty. The
reason. firmly believe, Is that have
learned to wear clothes with color in
them. and I'm not afraid OF having
too much color. When my children
were tiny I let the responsibility of
motherhood weigh upon me so heavily
and soherly that thought bright and
gay clothes were out of place in my
life ! remember returning hat my
husband bought me and having il du :
plica;ed in black, because thought the
pale pink coloring too out of place
for n matron."
Can you imagine anything sillier
than that point OF view? But lots OF
women dress as II they believed tho
same way this woman did at thirty.
Now. why should any woman not try
as pong AS possible? Why shouldn't
she cling 10 her youth"
We should be especially thankful
for the radical change of to-day in
fashions for the woman nearing mid
die age. The gay and Colorful sweat
crs and sport coats and hats and suits
cannot help hut have stimulating
effect on the brain. The leaden Erays
and dead browns and solid blacks OF
n score OF years ago are not for the
woman OF to-day, unless she wants to
grow old.
Whether you are forty-fve, nifty or
sixty. YOU can put 10 rout that stiff
ness ana steadincss by Adopting n
radical change in clothes from the
dull and depressing blacks and grays
and browns. Don't he afraid TO sue
cumh 10 the witchery of the soft and
graceful lines of a pink or blue or
white felt outing hat, even though you
have been addicted 10 l.'im. severe and
harsh lined head coverings.
Look upon bright and oiOrcd
clothes rs Il contribution TO make you
look. act and feel younger.
Ever so many women make the mis-
take OF choosing for every day dress
and hat costume. If ii is an excellent
quality of cloth. black is becoming
But in my opinion nothing is more
unhecominE TO the average woman
than cheap black. ANY color almost
looks better. An unrelieved black
dress has n decidedly marked effect
OF age on the face OF the wcarcr. Even
young girls suffer from wearing black
unless they are round checked and
rosy. If Your face is thin and your
features sharp II is n positive cruelty
To yourself to wear black. Ii intensi-
iies with a deeper shadow every hol-
low and line Of the face, and gives
the features a hard, drawn expression
