HE couturier is constantly con- fronted with a problem—how to attain variety and interest in the clothes she creates, with- out falling into the dangerous fleld of eccentricity, Every season one sees costumes which, in the desire for originality, become ‘merely eccentric: ‘Their detalls are too exaggerated, their line is far from classic simplicity. ©Of course, every designer must strive constantly for new effects and new ot infringe on the laws of good taste. The same is equally true of women In choosing frocks and assembling a costume. It is not very hard to bring ftogether a costume of distinction and chic, yet I find that there are only a Nery {u!: women who can do this sim- of Eccentricity know the importance of accessories. If they are obliged to economize, they know, too, how important accessories are in changing the character of the costume and giving it new interest. | Such a woman might have, for instance, | a simple black frock. If she were going out to lunch she might place on it a cape cou.x‘; of stift hrglte ‘gxqueseulzt-urfid. haps, by a W ue . Her ?glrtumeps takes on a tflmp tailored air sultable for this occasion. Or, if she she might wear exactly with a soft collar of satin or velvet.

I find it an interesting study sometimes to walk along the street analyzing the costumes I see. I mentally tear them and | to pleces, deciding why this woman guish between mn simplicity and absurd faddish- *x % % 0)! the other hand, the well dressed '™ woman must not sin on the side ®f plainness or dullness. A costume jmay be absolutely correct from the hoas to the hat, and yet be without tinction and interest. So simplicity hnd good taste are not enough. There ust be something in the costume— line, the color, the accessories, hich adds a note of zest to the en- ble. Otherwise, the dress will never from the ranks of mediocrity. And A holds u;hledll.slgno( lhet dedztl"lae‘ri y one could design a costume correct, and in good taste, but to E’:izn a frock marked by good taste, end at the same time by an indefinable Eomething which we call chic, is the work of a master. I would counsel you in choosing your own costumes to think of this differ- ence—because I cannot explain it to . It is you learn to feel ctively. You have before you two gowns, equally well made, equally suit- able, but one of them has a subtle something that is known ac chic. Some- | times it may lie in the line alone. This s true, I feel, in an evening costume of black cire lace. I molded the gown to the figure—one of the most beauti- ful lines conceivable. I emphasized the smaliness of the waist by a flaring pep- Jum, and I called attention to the slen- der column of the entire body by long fitted lines of the skirt. The line of this gown was so lovely in itself that 1 did not counteract the effect by add- ing flowers or a colored girdle. I do mot for a moment mean that on some wns this kind of ornament might not just the note that would add dis- tinction, but in this particular gown, the dine is the im it thing, so 1 did ot by adding any orna- ment. * K k¥ sourmm, on the other hand, a le piece of jewelry is the means by which chic is achieved. A piece of ade, & necklace of lapis lazull or crystal looks smart, why that one does not. Sometimes I see a beautiful gown-spoil by too much jewelry or by the wrong jes. Again I have seen the sim- ve little learned this art. To the simplest, mest unpretentious frock they add a crisp bit of lingerie, a bright bow or scarf, or they place an intriguing hat on their head, and the whole world is delighted with their chic. And what these girls do on the tinfest ance any woman can do if she takes the time to study the examples of chic that she sees around her. Tt will be only a little time before she has learned the secret and is apply- ing it to her own costumes.
