But there was always q backfire

Clothes play a definite part In the
lives of all Of us. They hide what
we are and make us appear to be
what they are. The woman who

rough edges is likely to be a rather
charming looking creature. But

banded hair above face of red
Tipped pallor. and presto! the
"vamp." 1t isn't how you look
when unadorneS, but how you bring
out the points of your appearance
which actually settles your type.
Now, then, If we agree on that,
let's see If we can't come to agree
ment on q sort of corollary which
is really the important part of our
proposition.
Most of us live up to or down to
our clothes. When Ross said that
she didn't know how she felt, but
she looked pretty bad. and then
went off and began to feel likewise,
she was only carrying out definite
tendency of the human imagination.
We're all very "suggestible."
We all associate certain things.
Some one says grass" We think
green" Some one murmurs July"
we think of the Fourth" And so
we go down a list of things, yield
ing to an association of ideas form
ed automatically in our minds. One
idea fairly makes another hop into
our minds.
There's no getting away from the
natural association of ideas which
comes to our perceptions without
any deliberation or intent on our
part.

the sun come out and at once you

Drape yourself in the black OF
mourning and the gloom In your

from the shadow in which you've
encased yourself.

how you feel but they accept IT, too.
