We once saw a woman turn the
trick at a cost of exactly six cents.
She had brought a
black lined coat dress
whose closing was edged
with heavy ecru lace of
an ordinary pattern. She
had a black fabric bonnet.
So she looked over the lace
counter of her favoritc department
store, spied the identical lace being
sold by the yard. bought enough
for halo round the faceline of
her hat and made it absolutely
belong to that dress.

Combining Lines: When you buy
a coat or jacket to go over a
dress, you must consider four lines
neck-line, waist line, sleeve-line
and hem-line.
IL your coat has collarless
neck-line, your dress must supply a
collar, or YOU must wear scarf
OF some sort.
Remember that one neck
line-dress or coat-must he
collared or filled In.
Your coat and dress must CO.

you'll get bunchy effect, and

discovery of two waist-lines dis

coat over a suit without looking
like a piece of overstuffed furni-

Infinitely smarter are short

Also, when considering waist

a sash is going to give a hunch-

So too with sleeves; pad
ded shoulders can't go under

full sleeves under fitted ones.
