WEARING CLOTHES.
How clothes are worn and how appropriate they are for the wearer are of more importance than how many frocks one possesses. For the woman of limited income it is far better to have one or two good frocks, harmonising in every detail with accessories, than to have a greater number of inferior gowns that have no relationship in colour and style with the wearer, or with the accessories worn in conjunction with them. In choosing clothes, exercise care to see that the colours selected are calculated to flatter the natural colour of the wearer. The right colours will depend upon the type of hair and complexion one possesses. Each article of attire should act as a complement to the general effect ; and when the purse is small as to its contents the choice of style should be such as to provide the greatest suitability for the greatest number of occasions. Bemember, also, that the posture plays a large part in how clothes look when on the figure. A little attention to the way one walks, and the way the head is carried goes a long way. towards making the commonplace ensemble look interesting.
