MOTHERS AND DAME FASHION

Women Molds Her Daughter In Foundation of Style and Taste From j" Earliest Years. , Take the average girl, carefully note the manner in which she is dressed and then you have an advertisement —good or bad—for her mother. In some subtle manner a mother molds her daughter from babyhood in the style of her clothing, and it is a very important molding, too. For if clothes do not make the man they do go a long way in giving a true impression of a woman. Every new dress that a mother buys for her little girl is a small stone in the foundation of style and taste that .will guide her daughter in future years. I was taking tea with a well-known public woman recently, and she called my attention to two young business girls who were sitting at another table in the restaurant From the hat of one hung a faded-looking rose, her lownecked blouse was not improved by her soiled coat collar, and above her cheap-looking patent shoes showed tawdry openwork stockings. The other wore a smart, perfectly plain hat neat well-fitting costume, and was tastefully booted. “Different mothers!” said my companion briefly. Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
