She adds that a few “do’s” are quite as important as the “don’ts," and some of these she enumerates as follows: “Do keep up to date iis style, always securing the beet of the season's new jfaeST those most fitted to stout figures. "Do keep to dark colors, navy blue, African brown, bottle green, deep ple, black. “Do wear plain materials, soft in finish, serge, broadcloths, crepe de chine, unglossed satin, voile, chiffon. “Do have simple trimmings— a slight touch of white or colors that harmonize with the costume. “Do keep to long lines, plaits, panels, deep Tever collars, pointed waistcoat effects, V-shaped necks.” _ • „
