SUB ROSA
By MIMI.
She Must Be Dull.

Jane can't afford to dress nicely. So
she says: II long to wear the beautiful
French things which see on luckier
women than I. But what's the use?
can't afford them. I've got to save my
money and buy some plain, conserva-
tive sort of thing that I won't tire c.
I can't possibly invest in a vivid en-
Semble or some striking evening dress"
But what's the big kick about a dark
plain-colored dress? There's no bet
ter start In the world for really smart
costume.
Make sure, first, that the dress is
really good one-you know, good lines
good workmanship, nice material and
that sort OF thing. Make sure the
style suits you and then cheer up, for
you may yet be as smart as all the
lucky women who wear bright colors.
With that dark dress you can wear
almost any OF the new jewelry that
takes your fancy. Think of all the
trick things that look we'll with black
or dark blue. And they cost so little
that you can try several experiments.
And, my dear your shoes and gloves.
0hat about them? You can have them
to match perfectly. and you can rest
did with that despised old rag of dull
dress.
Yes, and you can do all sorts of things
with scarfs and handkerchiefs, taking
yourself right out of the ordinary
looking class and sitting yourself COM
fortably down in the company OF those
women who really know how to dress.
The dress is only half the battle,
child. You've got to produce something
more than an expensive, snowy dress
to be really smart.
Suppose you had all the money in
the world TO spend on clothes. DO you
really think that you'd necessarily be-
come the best dressed woman in the
world as a result?
1t doesn't sound to me as if you
would. 1t sounds to me as If you'd
dash out to buy bright greens and pur-
pies, with hats to match and shoes
that could never match. I'm afraid
you've got better chance to be smart
right now than you'd ever have once
your hands were full of money and your
head as full of the wrong ideas.
No, little girl, you mustn't despair
over your wardrobe. However small
your allowance, you can do wonders
with it, If your taste is good.
A straight one-piece frock will do
more for your figure than all the frills
in the world. 1t will give you grace and
poise if it's cut we'll enough. Only you
must take time and care in figuring out
the accessories for your costume.
Don't worry yourself gray over the
dress ITSELF Concentrate on all the ac-
cessories, which must be perfect.
No one will think you poor girl
tied to one measly dress. They'll think
of you as that distinguished-look
Miss Allen who always manages to look
like a million dollars.
Don't pine for new clothes. Get out
the old reliables and see what you can
do to make them stunning.

Martha Gusts had not seen each other

Anticipate Moving Day.

If you are going to move. avoid the
disappointments that will befall those
who do not plan we'll in advance. Nov
ing is big problem for any housewife,
and 1t Is best to tackle it in sections.
Those who have any idea of what
rates are for moving households know
that each additional wagon, van or truck
adds an appreciate amount on the final
bill. In order to move at the minimum
cost one must know charges will be
fixed. The next problem is that of re-
ducing ones movables to a minimum.
One may easily divide ones household
effects into two parts. First, there are
articles which must be moved alone.
Second, there are articles which may be
replaced or which are obsolete, useless
or superfluous.
The latter type of articles will concern
us most here. When one reflects on the
cost Of moving objects which are not
wanted or needed in the new home, one
realizes there are strong reasons for
leaving them behind. At least, in a
figurative sense.
Literally, however. 1t Is practicable
and economical to dispose of these arti-

For young girls the brim is almost ruff

word sounds. A cloche of this type
may bring the loose ends of brim to-

simple knot with ends.
