IN WHITE CLOTHES

Color That Every Woman Can Wear to Splendid Advantage. Wholesomeness of Snowy Gown Affords Most Pleasing Effect and It Is Decidedly Fashionable. Every woman can wear white. To some women It Is more becoming than others, to be sure. But there Is something about the immaculately white frock, the white suit or the white coat or hat that is so wondrously attractive, that the white,get-up is a joy even when worn by the woman who might possibly appear more robust or more youthful or more distinguished or more something else in some other color scheme. Every woman ought to wear white some time just for the joyous effect It has on those with whom she comes in contact. But now white'has suddenly become amazingly fashionable. It was not one of those fashions that was predicted very generally, but suddenly at the resorts where women of wealth usually contrive to set the fashions that the rest of the world shall follow, these women began wearing white and then more whites. Not only white frocks and white hat were ordered from dressmakers and mil-' liners, but there were hurry orders for white coats and wraps, white woolen suits, and white everything else. Now wearing white is not easy, especially for the woman who dresses on a moderate allowance. But there is this much about it: even the woman who is free to send her white things to 'the cleaners after every wearing, and who has ten frocks to the average woman’s one, and who has a maid whose only duty is to aid her in matters of dress —even this woman does not always wear white as it should be

worn and there are other women not so blessed by fate who wear white irreproachably. It is all a matter of daintiness, is it not? You know the woman who can go through the entire day in the city in a white suit and look as fresh at the end of the day as at the outset; and then, there are other women who seem doomed to be bt? smirched by soft coal or wagon grease the first thing.
