Every one admires person with
self-confidence, and yet most of us are
busy all day long snuffing out any
such quality in the child. If We ave
working we shut him off suddenly
when he is in the midst of airing his
pet schemes. If he starts to do a piece
of work and doesn't accomplish it as
quickly or AS deftly as we ourselves
could do il. we snatch it out of his
hands and say: oh. YOU arc 50 stupid
let me do that.
If he starts to talk in company We
finish his remarks for him. because il
frks us to have him take so long to
say what VIC know he wants to say
And then after years of this sort of
treatment when he grows into the
difident adoleSCent period and is
awkward cruff and packard We sigh
and bevail the fact that he would be

Then came the edict from fashion
that every part and detail of ones
costume should be considered not sep
arately but as part of the whole en-
samble. That was three or four years
ago and women seized upon the Idea
as II it we're entirely new and had not
always been principle in the dressing
of very large number of well-dreSsed
women.
But they carried this simple idea
roo far. Women became symphonies
in violet. pink. green or some other
color. You met these women every
where-at suburban card parties, at
country sociables, drinking tea at
smart hotels, lunching at your club.
There was something naive in the way
their clothes matched.
Now il has become apparent that
among a number of very well-dresSed
women this idea of the ensemble as
it has been so popularly interpreted
has become a trif1e passee. These
women take as much care as ever to
see that the details of their costumes
harmonic and go well together, but
they work out this harmony with con-
siderable astutenesS. There are con-
trasts that are more harmonious than
matching fabrics.
The costume shown in the sketch
gives an idea of this new sort of en-
semble. There is a two-piece trock or
beige crepe de chine worn with A mar
room .coored flannel unlined coat. with
clipped wool collar and cuffs. \ note
Of striking contrast but one in perfect
taste is also struck by the velvet tam,
which is bright green.
