choose clothes which are more SIM
pie and less inclined to look like a
Christmas tree in motion. Remem-
Der that you cannot 60 wrong on
clothes if you buy the most classic
ones you can find. Bows, rufaes, or
nate pins, flowing sashes and the
like are not a safe choice. If your
figure is good you won't want to
detract from it by these unnecessary
gadgets; if it's not so good, they'll
call attention to it. A shirtwaist
dress is always safe; high style is
fun to look at, but very often hard to
wear.
3. How about colors? Are you
going completely mad about them?
Watch out for the bright shades
which are fashionable but tick
lish." Remember that you'll feel
best in black or brown, with only
a few colors worn now and then
to inject a little excitement into
the wardrobe. Stay away from plaids
and checks if you have half an
ounce too much flesh. Likewise,
ignore the flaming shades if you're
afraid to step on the scales. Con-
slider your individual complexion in
buying clothes, too. No screaming
yellows and bright pinkS if you're
on the red-headed side; no char
treuSe, no matter how smart it is.
if your complexion is dark. There
are a few exceptions to these rules,
but we've seen many girls buy the
wrong things merely because they
we're told that there is 20 truth in
the theory that certain shades are
not becoming to certain types. You
can wear any color you like" they
may say. Oh, yeah?
4. How carefully do you choose
accessories? You wouldn't wear
black shoes and carry a blue bag,
would you? Or would you? You
wouldn't cary kid bag with suede
shoes or vice versa, choose a large
purse If you're a tiny person, carry
dressy pocketbook with sport
shoes. It's mighty easy to change
purses the night before, after you
have decided what you will wear
the next day. Fix your purse, put
out the proper shoes, gloves and hat
and. of course, costume jeWelry. You
won't wear fancy rhinestone pins
with strictly sport costumes, willya?
And not for a moment would you
make the mistake that We saw
girl making the other night-that of
wearing a sequin hair bow with
street dress You wouldn't dangle
your purse from the crook of your
arm while you dance, but either
leave it at the table or hold it
firmly in your left hand, if you
must.
5. Are you satisfied with your
makeup? Is your skin good and
you never have painted Indian
look or a complexion like a slightly
used piece of blotting paper? Be
sure your rouge, lipstick and powder
are right, that you are using the
correct creams and lotions and that
your eye makeup is helpful, but not
obvious. And above all, though it
sounds silly to say, don't forget your
daily bath and your attention to
good grooming. No matter how
hard you try to look like something
out of a fashion magazine, if the
basis is not absolute cleanliness, the
result is nil.
Don't strive for unusual effects
or try to look like the model who
posed for an ad or the movie star
who went through three revolutions
and six reels without mussing a
hair. Remember that simple, good
clothes of the best variety you can
afford are the correct ones for you
Don't be afraid to analyze yourself
for flaws of all kind. Keep your
clothes in good condition-clean,
brushed and always neat looking
