The perfect dress should always be a frame for the wearer. In this respect, as in a pic- ture, the frame should never outshine the work of art itself. In other words, & woman's dress should be such as to tall attention to the woman herself und the things she stands for, “The woman who dresses in a care- Jess Manner, you may know, hag careless character, She is apt to be Jate for appointments and forgetful of her promises. You can study char- acter almost as well through the dross ‘as you can through the facial charac- teristics. Style, too, Is but a means to an end. I have heard women con- demned for wearing the wrong thing pecause it {s not in style, while the real fault is that no matter what she wears she will have no style. “My udvice to women is to wear what 1s becoming, bearing in mind always the occasion It is required for,” So get out your pen or pencil and jot down your characteristics. You can't dress correctly if you don’t. The meek and mild, the dashing, the vi- vacious, the shy, the abrupt, the wistful, the bashful, the coy, the voquetish, the frail, the strong; all have their own type of dress. Then there are dresses for the affectionate, the elusive, the militant, the docile, the mysterious, add infinitum, All must dress according to type. iter of New York. Courtship and .

Billy blew a cloud of smoke over his head and remained silent, ‘Don't you think you would be more apt to find the right type of girl if you waited until you are twenty- five?"
