A SECRET DRAWER
Every woman shpuld possess a secret drawer tb' hold' all the small enchantments that form the magic of her chiarm. It must be a veritable treasure-horde of ribbons and laces, flowers and veils, crisp frills for collars and cuffs, and a hundred and one ' Oither frivolous supplements to the more serious wardrobe itself. A woman may be dressed by the smartest of Paris couturieres, the cleverest of modistes may make her hats. But the individual attraction and charm of the well-dressed woman is only to be obtained by her choice of little accessories. Smartness consists more in the perfection of details — in their freshness and originiality — jand a charming frock can be transferred with very little diffieulty. But these accessories must be up-to-date. To-day chic lies within the narrow span of a belt, behind the mysterious folds of veils that sway from lovely hats in the jabots and frills for our tailor frocks, in the dainty handkerchief that peeps from the side-poeket of the same tailorsuit, in the string of heads that accompanies the afternoon frock, in the corsage bouquet in . . . a thousand and one details too numerous to mention.
