WELL LLDRESSED GIRL

Go over to Broadway. Take the girl who Is an actress. for instance, or some one in a like prCfessionl For 1 her there are standards that rank alone and not according to the dic- tates of the usual society life CT the usual business.
 In the first place the very nature of her occupation demands that she sell her personality. Therefore, she must fortify that attribute and deck it out and display 1t for public view. And | she must necessarily do this rather startlnely for, upon vision of those who pass her by. 1t Is part of her good looking, knows how to wear clothes and how to make herself stand out above the crowd.
 And that Is the reason why girls In this part of the town must be judged almost in class by themselves. They cannot accept the mandates of Park Avenue nor of the simple little house. wife In the Bronx. They have some thing all their own to get over.
 An actress who plays the best lead ing parts said: You knew I look better in the simple little girilsh voile and organdy dresses that l wore all last summer but you notice, don't you. that I didn't get a job as long as 1 looked so sweet and demure? Now, have suit that shows 1t cost money. It is black and white, as startling as can be. And I wear a costly fur about my neck. And please I don't like my looks quite so well and my husband hates them-but l have the work to do."
 Still, there are marks of distinction between the smart and the un-smart in the dressing on Broadway. It is easier to do outre clothes badly than 1t is to do them well. Even here tto much lace hat and veil is bad during the sunny hours of the day. Skirts that trail the ground are out of place. | Garden hats are not going to impress any one so far away from their nat | ural environment no matter how be- coming they may be. Dancing slip pers cannot be accepted for street | wear even if they dc make the insteps look high. Chiffon stockings in the broad daylight of day are out of place on any city street. Garlands of roses and streamers Of light colored rib bons strike a note of discord in the most untutCred fashion mind. And pastel chiffon dresses before 8 o'clock at night were never meant to be under any circumstances.
 But you see an actress on the street in stunning suit of suede cloth in a shade of almond green. It Is trim med only with tucks of its own fabric and worn with gray silk stockings, black patent leather strapped pumps and a plain black straw hat. She is well dressed and conspicuous at the same time.
 New see the girl In coat dress of black silk duvetyne with gray fox collar and cuffs and side sash of tn duvetyne doubled. She wears a bril- liant red toque of wrapped chiffon with round gold earrings dangling against her white throat No one could miss her and yet she is su- perbly garbed.
 Here is girl In dark blue taffeta for summer. Her skirt is full and straight and plain and not too full Her bodice is tightly fitted and there are little short tight sleeves. She wears a white lrgandy fichu with a filmy footing edge. Her hat is pink transparent straw with a rosette of forget-me- on one side and her shoes are gray suede worn with gray silk stockings. She is fancer in ap- pearance. but well dresed for all that even to the dark blue parasol with its mauve pink lining that glints just a trifle when the sunshade is closed and held dangling over her arm by a ribbon strap.
 Hats on Broadway are paramt unt for undk their brims ones face looks most attractive. But some of them are bad. a few of them are better and only isolated ones are very good for which reason those that are well done have an excellent chance L1 standing out against the background of the bad ones.
 Nuts strung, then dipped in a mix.
