that so often leads to real prosperity.
And always such woman is vain,
opinionated, and pigheaded, one OF the
kind who never take advice. Else she
would realize her lack of clothes sense
and 90 10 good dressmakcr who would
turn her out properly.
Does a girl go to business groomed IN
fimsy finery, and jingllng beads, ana
bedecked in phoney lewelryf
Ii shows she has no judgment, and can
not be trusted to handle matters that
require good, hard common sense. NO
woman ever climbed the ladder of success
in beaded goorgette blouse and spool
heeled shoes.
But if she dresses for business in simple,
plain waists, and tailored suits and shoes
that permit her to think of her Job m
stead Of how badly her feet hurt, IN
indicates that She has intelligence. bal
ance and the intention of making good AS
worker instead of using the office rs a
husband hunting preserve. .
Does a girl dress beyond her means?
II shows that she thinks more of her
looks than she does of her reputation.
Because she sets everyone wondering
where she gets her finery, for sometimes
she paws for her furs and imported gowns
with everything that makes womanhood
fine, and beautiful, and sometimes she
buys them with the very life blood OF her
poor old father and mother
The poor girl who looks like Daily
Hint from Paris makes a peevlsh and dis
contented wife. who is always envylng
rich women and who regards husband as
nothing but cash register for her to
punch. The man who marries her Will
spend the balance Of his life dodglng the
bill collector, and give thanks To Heaven
for merciful dellverance when she eiopes
with some other simp with longer
