Young Ladies' Attire Should Be
Neat, InConspiCuous.
Spotted Finery and Gay coIors Give
Appearance of CareIessness,
Fashion Critic Declares.

There is every reason why a young
tractive in appearance, says fashion
critic III Good Housekeeping. The
trouble often is that her standard of
what is attractive is wrong. 1t is a
mistake to strive to be conspicuous,
While it is right to look charming,
neat and incOnspicuous. Cleanliness
and tidiness are two great factors.
The hair and hands should be immacu-
late, while great puffs of hair and
troWslness are never attractive. Spot
ted tinery or gay colOrs give an appear
ance of carelessness and frivolity
which do not speak well for the busi-
ness character of the individual or the
work she is likely to perform, where
as cleanliness and well-brushed and
becoming plain clothes inspire conf
dence and betoken a capable, self-re-
Specting individual.
There is charm in well-arranged
hair and pretty clothes which every
young girl should take advantage of,
but do not make the mistake of think
ing that exaggerated hair and fussy
clothes have charm, whether during
business hours or after. They have
not. There is a correct standard of
dress for business as well as for social
life.
To be suitably dressed for a given
occasion is to be well dressed. Upon
the kind of work depends the cos
tune. If most Of the time is spent
indoors, tailored dresses are more be-
coming than a shirtwaist and skirt.
If, on the other hand, the work is out
| of doors, a suit is smarter. The over
blouse now used, Of the same shade
as the suit, has done away with the
hard line of demarcation between the
light waist and dark skirt, which
proved at all times unbecoming
Whether a dress or suit, the secret of
smartness is simplicity of line and cut.
Black, navy blue and brown are the
most suitable colors for business, for
they blend with their surroundings.
The epitome of good taste is incOn-
spicuous dressing. Well-dressed, we'll
bred women wear plain street clothes
or tailored dresses during the day.

SeasonabIe Outer Garment One of the
Most Important Adjuncts to
MiIady's Wardrobe.

At this season of the year the top
coat is one of the most important ad-
juncts to the well-dressed woman's
wardrobe. But while the name may
conjure up a vision of an all-envelop-
ing wrap that is somewhat nondeScript
in appearance, the modern topcoat
may truly be named "a thing of beau
ty, and a JOY" as long as the fashion
lasts.
For one thing, there is such a
wealth of rich fabrics from which it
may be fashioned. Their colors are SO
varied and so delightful that one con-
templates these modes as one would
the style touches that add so much
distinction to these modes are most
unusual. The buckle and the plain
button that once considered them
selves the only embellishments on such
wraps are far eclipsed by the decora-
tions of the hour.
Strangely wrought cords, rich in
color, take the place of the formal
belt leather strap. Gorgeous tassels
dangle from softly draped girdle or
cuff. Elaborate embroideries make
one hesitate in naming the garment
which they adorn. Severe mannish
lines have vanished before bewitching
flounces, fantastic draperies, and
quantity wrinkled folds that merely
hint of sleeves.
Sometimes a most striking combina-
tion Of fabrics opens up vistas of new
ideals in the matter of fashioning such

She said, with difficulty, in a low

wrong of her to say so.
