TELLS HOW TO DRESS
IN BECOMING ATTIRE
To Know Desirable Color Pick Out
Strongest Note of Color
About Yon
(BY MISS MYRTLE SWINDELL)
The colpr of your clothe* should
harmonize with the predominating
color of your head.
If the hair is of striking color, select
your clothes to harmonize with it If
your eyer are of unusual brilliancy,
have color of clothes to conform to
them.
The power of white in dress is be
cause of its reflection of light, and its
power to enhance the brilliancy of the
eyes, teeth, and the high lights of the
skin. Black on the contrary in
creases the depth of the shadow by
contrast with the high lights with the
skin and teeth. The shadows and
lines being deepened, ? the face looks
'older or more tired, if sorrow, sick
ness or age have already made shad
ows. Only healthy, happy, joyous,
high colored people should wear
black. All with delicacy or coloring
or faded coloring should avoid black,
because black absorbs all the remain
ing color. s
To know what color to wear find
out the strongest note of color about
you and dress in what you are or its
complement
Your clothes express your perso
nality. If a womn goes to seek a
business position she'must be dressed
suitably. The human head is the cen
ter of interest and emphasis should
be placed on it Colbrs and the feet
will draw attention away from the.
face. We do not want attention any
where but in the.face; for It is by
far the most important thing about
us. Our clothes should not be more
brilliant than our faces, but should be
so subdued as to enhance and beautify
them.
All of us wish to dress becomingly
and stylishly, none of us should wish
to dress in extreme fashions. If we
cannot have a number of dresses it
is wise to have all of them made
simply; so that they may be suitable
for different occasion. Elegant ma
terials need little trimming. Cheap,
guady things are in bad taste. , >
