ito inquire whether sheis 80 or 50.
The very short skirt now in vogue
Is not for the woman of 40. Neither
are the very fancy shoes IL she has
stout ankles. She may not have her
gowns cut too low nor wear her col:
lars too high. Moderation must be
her watchword. ~, s,!;' 4, Y IS.
I would, however, ADVISE that as a
woman grows older she. should wear
more elegant clothes. II \ one can
have but one gown, let that be Of the
best material one can buy and made
by the best dressmaker possible.
Youth excuses many things, Sbut the
midlle:aged woman is supposed to
have the knowledge that comes from
experience. She Is the answer to the
question, She tells II the promise Of
her youth has been kept. ls
She Is the wonderful golden day Of
the 'autumn-soft, suave, enticing-or
the cold, disagreeable time which only
presages the nlpping, shiyering, IN.
comfortable winter to come.
You will be one or the other.
