RY ARCA ME MRS DO YOU KNOW =: : HOW to WEAR Your Clothese Their ti Set”? at Once Stamps You as “Well Dressed” or “Dowdy.” And Here Are Some Rules and Suggestions For That Much-Coveted ‘Smart Appearance.” By Margery Wells. Copyright, 1022, (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co, a6 O be well dressed a girl usually needs a valet-—not a dressmaker!” That is how one designer of extremely smart gowns and hats expressed her gloom over the way in which the modern girl put yon her clothes. Shoe said that a girl would take a perfectly good, softly constructed, ‘@elicately shaped hat and drag it down over her head as though it were / made of cast-iron, guaranteed to stand any shock. ‘Then, the designer sald that the girl’s next step was to wander into tle shop and Inquire, in hurt tones, why the hat had lost its shape. It ts a hopeless ox Hee eS stato of dressing to any one who knows that there is more im the wearing of them, really, than there is in their cut and making. In this era of simple frocks girls run the ik of being 80 wwfully simple that hey look simple- minded, Their res#es can be wung upon their houlders so care- flessly that they positively presup- pose that dropped- Jaw in the face. Now look at the girl who wears her dresses sm ar tly. One evening lately on a dancing floor of an exclusive res- taurant there was among the assem- bled evening gowns @ girl in a plain expression dark suit. And she stood out like a diamond in a handsome setiing. 1! followed her, analyzing how she h come by the stunning effect, and 1 found that her secret lay wholly in the way she had gone about putting on the cloth Her suit was dark biue material not distinguished in any way by its originality—but it was made so that it fitted perfectly with no everexaggoration in the cutting of the tight sleeves or the length of the coat. It was as inconspicuous a suit fs one could hope to see. Around her throat was a tight little collar of squirrel. Her hat was simply mad of dark blue velvet with a tilt back- wards over one shoulder, and she had placed that hat with so much thought serge—a plus artistic precision that she achieved her jewel-like appearance. Her shoes were black. Her stockings were black., Her gloves were gray suede to match the bit of fur around her collar. Far from looking out of place among the glittering gorgeousness of evening clothes, she scemed very much a part of the setting and a dis- tinctive part at that. Her clothes and the way she wore them were so much more a picture than of the dowdy evening frocks that clustered around her, Every one noticed her. You could hear them saying how good looking she was, and when you came to examine her face you found out that she really was not what would be called good looking had it not been for her success in wearing those sim- ply made clothes of hers. some A designer who is famous for the street coats and wraps she makes told me that she longed to give a printed list of instructions for wear- ing when sho sold a coat to a cus- tomer, Sho siched In disgust when he told how giris fail to see the pos- sibilities in wearing the soft wraps and capes of the present fashion. “They Iet them hang down in stralght and uncompromising Ines, ane said, “until they have no more ex- pression than a fish.” Now, a French girl will always take the tro ble to gather hee wrap about her with one hand, or with two, until she herself supplies a line and a draping that no designer could give it without her aid, She considers it her bounden gner's duty to supply this aid to a de ways. But too many of us in America mxpect our clothes to come fin- fhed like our breakfast foods, tnd we forget that our own per- aonali must become parts of those coverings—that if we are te earn the reputation of being well aressed we must put our feeling into the weariM of our etothes. We cannot accept them j@e so much material to wrap about our shivering forms. We must feel expression into them by recognizing what their Lines mean land how they can be best sup- ported. In thie guise clothes be- The Simplest Sort of Hat Is Worn by This Young Lady to Give the Greatest Pos- sible Effect of Coquettishness and Charm. come a dear responsibility instead of a burden to be carried about just because of arbitrary demands of fashion.

Stockings should be attuned the frocks they accompany. That is there should be heavy ribbed wooiler ones for the tweed suit. thinner silk and wool ones for the suit or coat or frock made of finer cloth, silk ones that are not too thin for the afternoo.r dress or crepe and lacy thin silk ones for evening. This portion of your dressing makes more difference than you have any idea. It is the accent that makes all of your efforts in other directions stand out more perfectly. Scarfs worn with suits and top coat should be just bundled enough about the throat and not too bulky. It ts very smart to turn the collar of your thick suit up about your neck and to allow the scart to show inside rolled thickly about the neck. With a tan o» gray coat the black and white scarfs are beautiful. With a dark coat the brighter searfs are more interesting. And, with the scarf, the hat must he in tune. Either it should match the vcart quite faithfully or it should allow the scarf to be a decoration all by it- relf, letting the hat match the coat or suit quite exactly. There is food fo- thought in this‘direction and materiai tor accomplishment, too. Girdles and sashes must be tied cleverly--not too tight and not too loose. Study the lines of your figure ‘with relation to your girdle, and you will see more plainly than in any other way an illustration of the meaning of putting on your clothes, Join the society of those who know how to dress, and don't be one of those who hold the poor dressmaker sponsible for your own errors in wraring clothes. with (iTS SUPT ST TD BT HC OK cs ® $6] SEE by the papers,” said Lu- cile the Waitress, as the Friendly Patron put a little mirror on the lunch counter in front of him in order to watch his over- coat bel'nd him, “that a waitress out In Chicago was gaven a ranch be- cause she refused to take tips.

Tubliettng oe 11 banana hag been a much maligned fruit and up to a few years ago did not appear on the menus of people who thought they knew. This is all changed now. We have been convinced that the banana is Not indigestible and ts not consti- pating, a8 we had always supposed, but is easily digested and really has laxative properties. In Southern climates even bables eat bananas and thrive on them, but Southern folks never eat a banana unless it is abso-~ lutely ripe, and herein les the cause of all the prejudice against bananas. Wo select this fruit by appearance rather than quality. Those fine look- ing, clear, yellow bananas that we usually buy are unfit to eat unless cooked. A ripe banana has a brown skin and the pulp is white and mealy. ‘These are sweeter too, because much of the starch is converted Into sugar during the ripening process, Another reason for the bad repu- tation the banana has attained ts due to the fact that we eat the banana too rapidly. It should be eaten slowly and thoroughly masticated. And the third reason is that we do not peel this frult properly. Those long white strings that cover the pulp are de- cidedly indigestible and should be re- moved. Bananas are especially nutritious and readily digested if served with milk. This greatly misunderstood banana can be used in many ways. It can be corved either raw or cooked and as a fruit, salad or vegetable course. In combination with other foods it makes a varlety of delicious dishes. AS A VEGETABLE. serape and cut bananas into crosswise and put into frying pan, alternating with sausage.
