Shttn Black
if You Are
a Teacher
BY JULIA BLANSHARD,
MA Service Writer

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. you
should budget for appropriateness
quite as much as for costs, when
you are working out your clothes
expenditures for this winter in
scientific manner.
Clothes are cheaper and more di-
versifed in styling And at the
same time, there is a greater pre-
MUM put on individuality. Whether
private secretary, business eZecu-
tive. librarian, teacher or stylist, you
can look the part quite easily and
should, make no mistake in that.
There are certain considerations
you must recognize if, for instance,
you are school teacher Children
love color. Black is depressing.
Children appreciate change.
Since you are, in q way, the crt-
terion Of good grooming, good taste
and prettiness, you should do your
utmost TO be absolutely meticulous
at all times, wear clothes that can
be cleaned easily and are of the
type that have Just little dash to
them.
Wine Is Good Color
Rust reds. lively blues. PURIFY
tones, browns that liven your own
coloring, and all the wine colors are
good choices. Figured frocks are
tired of much sooner than plain COL
ors, a good point to remember. Since
You never wear your coat in the
classroom, you can buy one coat and
several dresses, and very success
fully.
If. on the other hand, you are
an executive spending the day at
your desk, black IS one of the best
bets you can buy. Lines should be
classic, dignif1ed, a trif1e formal to
heighten your authority. The ad-
dition Of an unusual jewelry en-
Sen1ble, one that the clerks will not
see fit to copy, may be of far more
personality to you than all
kinds of lingerie touches, though
these are one way to achieve va
riety
Your hat is as important as your
frock Always have a hat to match
each costume, whether black or col
ored.
If you are a stylist, or if you are
IN a responsible position, selling,
promoting, or in charge of groups in
more stores than one, so that you
must look well on the street and in
the Office, you must consider your
entire ensemble, not Just your
frock.
Black Is Good
Black, an unusual dress, one with
white velvet or satiny touch, is
excellent. Nothing has more chic.
Getting good salary you can-and
should-afford to have your clothes
cleaned often enough to keep them
spotless. Your hat. your shoes,
gloves, purse, hosiery and even your
handkerchiefs is of utmost irnpor-
lance.
For how can you impress others
with your innate good taste that
prompts you in your profession if
W do not, in your own appearance,
them?
6graphers, office workers, Ii
ms and other workers who are
one in a group, get comparatively
small salaries, and yet want pro-
motion, must realize that appear
ance is a mighty big factor.
Look just little heater, q little
more attractive than the others and
get your work done well and see
If YOU don't get promoted just
little quicker than the girls who
overdress or are sloppy and care
less in their appearance.
Jersey frocks, with removable col
lars, cuffs, belt and other white or
oolorful touches are the frocks for
you to buy Get your winter coat
first, either a neutral color that goes
well with many, a brown that tones
IN with all tones of brown, rust,
green and beige, or q black coat that
viii look well with violet blues, with
bright reds, or black and white or
black and colored figured materials.
BE in the Matching Mode
Jumper frocks are good for you,
If you are quite young and look
well in this type of dress. Two
piece little jersey suits or tweed
dresses that have modest but color
ful little designs are all good.
1t Is better to choose a couple of
colprs and stick to them so that
things match than to have a wide
variety of frocks, with your shoes,
hats and coats matching none of
them any too well.
For all business or professional
girls one fundamental guide to this
appropriateness budget is sound.
Buy your coat first and be very
sure when you select its color and
style that it will suit your type and
coloring enough so that all your
dresses will blend.
One dark or bright hat and one
Of neutral tone, beige perhaps, gives
YOU a suitable change of headgear.
Black shoes or brown are the most
satisfactory, unless you can have
colored ones for all your different
dresses-and have them match.
Your stockings this fall are darker
than summers and should match
up with your gloves. Your purse
may match your shoes, your hat,
your suit, or your hosiery and
