BEAUTY AND CHARM

Dress and Deportment

Beauty, that regular and accepted attribute of perfect regularity in features, bus become irregular. Tilts and piquant curves, but above all, the air, the savoir faire, have swept the ranks of beauty with their distinctive charm, and, writes an English artist, without charm no one can be beautiful Perhaps one of the loveliest notes of these modern melodies of fashion is the spontaneity, the freedom of movement, colour, style. The dictates of fashion are expensive, they give scope for individuality to assert itself, and it does so definitely, with a firm grasp, how ever, on the essentials of style.

Beauty of form is quite unimpressive with bad deportment and unsuitable clothes, but superb carriage and a good dress sense will give distinction and personality, and will easily overcome other deficiencies.

The “emancipation” of women lias Inclined to encourage slack deportment. To care about “carriage” seems dull in comparison with all the other activities now open to women, and as we are usually in a hurry, ungainliness is unfortunately a common sight. In regard to clothes, it is not only what you wear that is Important, but how you wear it.

Remember that the young and not-so-young, the thin and not-so-thin, must keep within their own limitations. It is quite unnecessary to sacrifice your own individuality in order to be in the fashion.

The undoubted success of the Parisienne in the matter of her clothes is because she selects them with infinite care to suit her own personality, and then wears them without a trace of self-consciousness. She feels right, and consequently looks right.

Believe in yourself, carry yourself with pride, wear your clothes with style, and, as a result, you will be beautiful.
