MY ADVICE TO MY DAUGHTER.
HOW TO WEAR YOUR CLOTHES.
NOT THEIR COST THAT COUNTS

like a back number or dowdy. She
owes it to herself to make herself
look just as smart and stylish as
possible.
While I am on this subject OF
clothes l want to tell you something
about personal appearance, not be-
cause you need it, but because it is a
topic that comes right in at this mo-
ment and should not be overlooked by
any mother in giving advice to her
daughter.
Never let yourself look sloppy. Tn
tidy hair. grimy finger nails, yellow
teeth, are things that are utterly
abhorrent to me in a woman. They
not only look bad. they are depress-
ing. The untidy, slovenly woman is
always in bad spirits. The neat, we'll
kept woman who wears her clothes
smartly, whether they are new or
old. or expensive or cheap, always
feels light-hearted and happy.
There's no denying the fact that
clothes and personal appearance have
tremendous influence upon a wom-
ans spirits. 1t is fact that we
women must admit and reckon with
and II we wish to keep contented anG
happy we must watch our clothes and
our personal appearance most care
fully.

BEST DRESSED ACTRESS GIVES
HER DAUGHTER POINTS ON
HOW TO MAKE THE MOST
OF HER CLOTHES.
BY KITTY GORDON.

Dear Daughter Vera:
There's saying that clothes
don't make the man" Perhaps this
same statement holds true with re-
CARDS to women. but I doubt il.
My career on the stage and in pic
lures has. of course, been different
from that of a great many women
and 1 have always found that good
clothes worn stylishly helped me
tremendously toward success. So 1
say to you, Vera, and I can't say
it too strongly, wear your clothes
stylishly.
Now I don't mean by this that
you must always wear very expen-
sive clothes. Expensive clothes-if
you can get them-are a big help
to a stylish appearance. of course,
but they aren't absolutely neces-
sary. Almost any woman who de-
votes a little time and thought to
her wardrobe can keep her clothes
looking right. A needle and thread
will do wonders, you know. No
woman, whether she spends little or
much on clothes. should ever look
