SECRET OF GOOD APPEARANCE
Simple and inexpensive Outfit Takes
On Smartncss When Wearer
Has Good Carriage.

N~eatneSs, the essential of the we'll
dressed woman, does not can stiff
ness, but it generally means simpli-
city. Few women, taking these for
the main lines of their dressing will
fail to give a pleasing impression,
and economy may be achieved as well.
Another important point in achiev-
ing a good appearance is the bearing
i'm sitting. walking and standing. In
old days this was called department"
Lolling and STOPPING, standing with
one hip thrust out, walking with head
thrust forward, and arms swinging,
effectually destroy the good appear
ance of the smartest of gowns or
suits. On the other hand, a simple
and inexpensive outfit takes on smart
ness when the wearer has a good car
rage. Two things help to make a
oma walk well and sit well; good
health and self-discipline. Tired,
sickly girls and lazy women rarely
have good figures or a good carriage.
To the average neatness and
simplicity mean a severely restricted
wardrobe. Busy women have not
time for a multitude of frocks, and
the women who have learned how to
wear their clothes well have also
learned that n dress well made, well
cared for, well worn, will Outlive two
or three that are ill-cut, creased and
worn carelessly.

Curly watered his horse and smoked

At once he saw that they had been

red, and she was still dabbhig ut them
with her handkerchief when he came
whistling along. Sam looked discour

had been disagreeing about his lire OF

Yet this is exactly what has happened
a band Of roformers who call themselves
Cotton Stockings" because they are op-
posed 10 tho ruinous use of silk stockings
and other expensive articles, demonstrated
angrily against Mile. Cecile Sorel, the
famous actress, simply because she was
dressed too magnitcently.
Mile. Sorel has been the idol of Paris for
gears. noted for her beauty and grace and,
above all, for the elegant manner in which
she wears the most fashionable. the most
splendid and the most costly creations OF
the Partisan dressmakers.
The Cotton Stockings" murmured, dis
approved. almost rioted, simply because
she showed herself on the stage of tho
great Coincide Franchise more elegantly
costumed than ever before.
Mile Sorcl explained afterward most
reasonably that Paris owed her fame and
her wealth to her reputation as the capital
OF luxury, and that as n good Partisan sho
was only doing her duty in maintaining
that reputation.
But still the agitation against luxury
went on and will continue TO do so. For
France is confronted with n most distress
ing condition. riot OF extravaganza
among those who have money and great
poverty among the majority of tho people
owing TO high prices. The reformers con.
tend that all unnecessary luxury and cX-
travagance add to the distress OF those
who are struggling to live.
Silk stockings typify tho things that
make life difficult in France. a distin-
guished writer recently pointed out that
all girls were wearing runously expensive
silk stockings, that young men could not
afford to buy silk stockings regularly. that
they were discouraged from marrying and
that the recuperation of France was hin
dered. Therefore tho reformerS adopted

When Tho Cotton Stockings" heard
that Mile. Sorel had given orders for the

even the crusaders Joining In, having been
carried away by the beauty and elegance
of this queen OF fashion. But they soon
recovered and remembered what they
were there for. The leader surprised tho
audience by crying out loudly:
What disgusting Extravaganza"
This was followed by {; chorus OF pro-
tests from other reformers. such as:

Then the rest of the audience came IN

stood. clothed in n splen-

has rarely been seen be-
fore. She wore a gown
that cost $4,000 and jew
els worth nearly n million!
Mile. Sorel's costume
certainly lacked nothing to
mako it original as well as
expensive. She wore an
immense hcad-dress OF or
angc. yellow and blue os-
hich plumcs, tho colors
artistically contrasted. held
IN n setting OF q diamond
studded band about tho
forehead; curiously shaped
pendant earrings of dia-
