The DeH Dressed UOmdn

To all women dressing is a life
time job. Their appearance is a
matter of personal pride and con-
Germ. A we'll dressed woman has
few clothes. One costume, each
season, for mornings, one or two
costumes for the afternoon. Few
clothes and few changes. But she
has holy zeal about making each
costume perfect and meticulously
complete.
If it is a suit d. she is measur-
ed within an inch of her life. One

fine art Of being fitted. 1t may
be a little snugger waistline. E. or
little more freedom at the hips.
Each line must express your every
movement.
Choosing a hat little lighter and
gayer than choosing a suit. But
you do have to take pains to match
colors and fittings. A Ohio wom-
an selects plain or simple pump.
incidentally there is nothing like
a pump to enhance a foot. She
wears moderate heel and never,
never spike heels on the street.
The shape, size, material and mono
