Ihy Pathe under the attractive title
Iof "patria.a Is the originator and
creator OF more separate and distinct
feminine fashions than any other iIy-
ling woman She has some interest
ling things TO say about the Well
dressed woman to which the devatees
/ OF fashion may well give heed In
Irecent interview, Mrs. Castle, Who
iwlu be seen at the Dixie theatre to-
morrow, ID tie first episode OF
''ratria, said:
The woman who wants TO be
well dressed. and this Is the natural
ldesire OF every woman, must first Of
all learn Ia be honest with herself.
She must see herself as she is ano
not as she would like TO be. II she
I!s short and and broad, she must
not imagine herself tall and thin
and vice versa. II sl7e Is angular and
broad she must not think herself
plump and rounded And then hav
ing seen herself honestly IS ia a look
ling glass. she should dress In man
ner suitable to her own peculiar
Istsle. She must not fall III love with
vogue and adopt 1t regardless OF
whether or not it is suitable.
Take the French women. for in
stance. They are perfectly honest
with themselves and do not hesitate
to admit their faults Ia face or figure,
ana this honest study OF themselves
leads them to the adoption Of those
patterns. fabrics. and adornments
which lend distinction, individuality
and style to their appearance.
Go into Persian restaurant and
you viii never see, as IN American
women OF every height. weight, age
and individuality all wearing the
same pattern OF clothes, all cut after
the same design. American women
are what one misht call yogue-crazy
/ They see a model there. run across
some particular style in magazine
worn BY somebody or other, and
promptly 50 mad over Il. They must
have that very model on style re-
earaleas Of whether OF not ii is be
coming or suitable. and they are not
happy until they get it. flow much
more sensible it would be to choose
style suitable to ones own self.
Surely it IS more comfortable and
SELF satisfying, to be distinctive, sn-
alyidual. representative OF yourself
than to be merely one in crowd,
like paper daii In a long row cut
