MI LADY'S
.Own Little Column
AIDS TO GRACE AND BEAUTY
BY Priscilla Dean

If you are one of those people who
depend upon clothes for beauty-be
careful in choosing your clothes.
l suppose you consider this needless
advice, but often when we think we
are most careful we are most care
less.
Don't pick a hat for yourself that
YOU saw on Lefty or a dress that you
admired on Cecilia. How did you know
that you will look well in the same
clothes that your friends wear?
was in a street car recently with
a girl friend. Across the isle sat a
very pretty little girl in a black taft
fata dress and a tight fitting straw
turban. The turban was the most
becoming hat I had ever senior her
type, also the dress, but can you i'm
agine my establishment when l met
nv friend on the street a few days
later with almost exactly the same
dress and hat on? She looked like
a sack of meal tied in the middle
with a peanut on her head, for be it
known, my friend is fat and thirty
while the little lady from whom she
copied her outfit from was thin and
twenty.
If, like my friend, you RI inclin-
ed to be stout do not wear dresses
that give you shortwaisted appear
ance. Don't wear little tight fitting
turbans either.
Long wasted dresses, in dark col
ors with medium sized hats are the
best and for Heavens sake don't veal
short knitted sweaters Of brillint hue.
Try and stick to the n color scheme
and you will find the results more
favorable.
Clothes will do more for you than
any cosmetics but, like rougue and
powder, they must be properly ap-
Piled. Study yourself in the glass.
If you are a little, short person don't
wear an over exaggerated couture
that will make you appear top heavy
A low knot in the back Of tue head
will be far more effective and make
you appear years younger.
If you have a high forhead you can
comb your hair gracefully over, SO
that you will not appear scalped and
if your forehead is low, comb your
hair back in the manner that Gerald
inc Farrar always wears hers.
"Stop and think for yourself, you
have been to places where Mrs. P
the beautiful society woman puts in
an unexpected appearance. Mrs.
P takes the floor the minute she
arrives, and holds it for an hour or
as long as there is anyone to listen
to her she gushes or. 1t is "me" "this','
"I", the other thing and me, myself
and I, again. All are bored, but Mrs
P-has a lot of money and can do
pretty nearly what she pleases. To be
invited to her set is considered quite
an honor, so she is endured, long af-
ter every one has forgotten that she
ever possessed such a thing as beau
ty. Her tongue and egotism blinded
them to any physical charm.
Don't be an II" hound!
Incidentally don't be one Of those
people who ridicules every thing. The
person who ridicules everything is or
the toboggan slide and he will enc
up by becoming a crouch.
You and I know men and women
who eve have a pleasant word tc
say for anyone, or a serious common
dation Of any thing.
Ridicule and sarcasm are often
coated with would-be humor, and are
sometimes decked out as puns, by anc
by, however, this. bias toward ridi
cule and sarcasm gets to be a habit
and the coat of humor becomes thread
bare.
Don't juggle with ridicule and sar.
casm, for people look beneath the We
neer nowadays.
