But I don't like the appearance of striving for effect ; wearing beads and dangling earrings and a hat pin all of the same color is almost as bad as wearing a signboard saying 'I know that this color deepens the color of my eyes,' it seems to me. You know, if you're going to add the little touches of color that are most effective, you've got to do it so deftly and unobtrusively that people will exclaim in amazement, 'How beautifully that chain and pendant go with your coloring!' never dreaming that that's just why you wore them ! "That reminds me of something else. You simply must be consistent about a costume ; never wear accessories that belong with one sort of outfit with another. Why, I've seen a girl wearing earrings with a riding habit ! A tulle hat wouldn't have been more out of place. Riding clothes must be trim!" Remembering the jauntv little habit she wore in "The Walk-Offs," I credited her with living up to her theory. "How about hats?" I demanded, in one final burst of interrogation. "Hats — -are hats!" she remarked cryptically. "Each one is a separate struggle. I don't have them made specially, as a rule, because they're so likely to be disappointing then. I just start out with the shape and coloring I want firmly fixed in my mind — and keep looking till I find it. The perfect hat is the exclamation point that finishes the costume, you know." And as a maid came in just then with an armful of handboxes whose contents said everything from "Oh, my dear!" to "Stop, look, and listen !" I took my departure. "All right— I love the little French shoes," she laughed. "But not the extreme ones. Mine are sort of betwixt and between — I think the very short ones are ridiculous — and I vary them with those cut with longer vamps, because it's unwise to cling to just one last for your shoes. I think your feet tire of it. "As for lingerie — I prefer that which is made on tailored lines, and has flat, inset lace or embroidery for trimming rather than bows and ribbon flowers or ruffles ; lingerie should be unobtrusive, and let your frocks fit their best, and too much trimming on your lingerie, of the sort that sticks up and calls attention to itself, is likely to be bunchy. "I've told you how I select the colors of my gowns. I can't give any general advice about lines, because that's a thing every girl has to work out for herself; she and her modiste can experiment with draperies and learn whether she can indulge in bustle effects or bouffant hip draperies, or whether she looks best in a skirt that has a flatter effect about the waist." "And how about accessories?" I asked, yearning to find out everything that May Allison knew about clothes, so that I could pass it along to you. "I love 'em," she confided. "Gloves that just match a costume, and beads that give the right touch of color to a frock — oh, I adore buying those things. But I find that as a rule it's practical to stick to white gloves — short, heavy ones for street wear with suits, and softer, lightweight ones for wear with afternoon frocks or in the evening. White gloves are so easily cleaned, and as a rule even pale-colored ones change tints in the cleaners' hands. "As for beads — one has to be so careful ! They're fascinating to buy, but so many lose all restraint and go about looking like Indians on the warpath, wearing two or three strings of different colors. Pale coral beads are good with yellow hair ; so are amber ones, if they are very pale. Lapis lazuli is such a beautiful deep blue that it is effective for the blue-eyed girl — but only Now, May Allison's clothes may be too sophisticated for the girl who's still in her teens — but Constance Talmadge's aren't. And Constance has just been indulging in a shopping orgy, preparatory to her trip to Europe with Norma. What she bought, and why she bought it — that's what I'm going to tell you next month. A MOVIE MUSEUM By Harold Seton The movie actors now suggest An exhibition made Of articles of interest Connected with their trade. A gun by Hart long utilized, A bit of Eltinge lace. Two rubber soles by Fairbanks prized. Miss Frederick's whalebone brace. A lock of Mary Pickford's hair, A Charlie Chaplin shoe, A bead that Bara used to wear, A pie that Fatty threw. An ancient Bible ought to yield. A certain yellow page On which the secret is revealed Of Fanny Ward's real age !
