Choose Becoming Styles.

The thing that impressed me in a recent shopping tour was that the latest fashions were worn by the old and young, thin and fat, blonde and brunette. There was not a note of individuality in the dress of the women. To this day I wonder at the sheeplike acceptance of women when it comes to style, F would think every woman realize that the suit, dress or wrap most becoming to one looks hideous on another; the color which will brighten the eyes, add a luster to the hair, and transparency to the skin for one woman will kill the same points in another. 1 Individuality is the keynote of the well-dressed woman’s wardrobe. I do not mean to wear freakish clothes so different from the fashlon thatlhey attract attention. I mean clothes that harmonize in color and line with the disposition, temperament and, build of the Nearer, which follow the trend of fashion, but are not mere fashion plates from some designer’s pen.
