A DAUGHTER'S DRESS SENSE

Every girl loves to have pretty clothes, and there is no reason at all why she should not; but there arc very many, who, having had nograining in this direction, and not having acquired any tasro in buy bcautL'-il and p.cpensivj clothes, but ai-3 never well dre 3 *»'--.

To bo well dressed does not mean to be expensively dressed. Dress taste can be acquired after one has grown up, but how much better equipped is the girl who has been guided from childhood in her choice of clothes.

Wise mothers begin early to develop this dress taste, and when going shopping often take their small daughters with them.

_ They are allowed to make suggestions for their own clothes, and though ai first the mother may be inclined to smile at the perhaps grotesque choices made, she is thus given splendid opportunities for showing her daughter why such a combination of colours is wrong, or why that particular style is unsuitable for her figure and complexion. Many girls, on leaving school for good, find the buying of a n&w wardrobe a very difficult problem, and are' obliged to seek help and advice from mothers or friends. But the mother who has trained her daughter's dress taste can leave this undertaking safely in her hands, knowing that in so doing her character and individuality will best come into their own.
