When You Go Shopping for a dress, determined to find one that is unusual at a moderate price, don't ask for "something diflPerent." The saleslady will show you all the things with strange collars, odd colors, or fancy beadwork. Those dresses don't lend themselves to any change of accessories. It Would Be Better to ask the saleslady for a good, well-cut black dress. Spend as much as you can on this one simple dress. Then you can add to it the touches of drama and distinction you want. They should be detachable so you can do different things with the dress. You don't have to be a designer to do it. Use your own ideas. If you like the rich feel of fur, make a pocket or belt of ocelot, or leopard, or moleskin dyed bright red. One other touch of the same color on your costume will make it look as if the belt came with the dress. Or take a piece of satin of any color and make a little separate cape edged with fur. If You Want Compliments on your clothes, if you crave a little flattery . . . your clothes must flatter you. That, of course, is a composite matter of fabric, color and line.

J. FRED HENRY. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 30th dfiy of September. 1949. (Seal) Stanley M. Cook. Notary Public. (Mv commission expires March 30, 1950.) anteed success of certain fabrics. Velvet, for example, is an arch flatterer. A plain black velvet suit, with a little cluster of white ermine tails at the throat, or a tiny detachable collar of beige fur, is always good. Velvet has a dressy, "occasion" quality. You can even put a black velvet collar on your gray Spring suit and it will move with style into the Winter months. A well cut satin cocktail dress in your best color, has a luxurious look that is flattering. Chiffon is always feminine and graceful for evening. * * * This Winter there isn't much change in the trend of good fashion. The best things are both elegant and practical. You see velvet and satin for cocktail dresses and suits. Metal cloth is good for very dressy cocktail suits. The dress and suit silhouette follows the straight and narrow line, while the formal evening gowns are usually very full. As for dress length, I think about 13 inches from the floor is most attractive for daytime. * * * A Woman Of Style is completely at ease in her clothes. They seem so much a part of her that she is never conscious of them. And strangely enough, that's when people are conscious of her. They say, "she knows how to wear clothes." When she has that quality and money, too, she becomes one of the truly chic women of our day. You read her name on the "best dressed" list of the fashion critics. Incidentally, Rosalind Russell is one of the few motion picture stars whose name has appeared on that list. * * * It Can Also Be Acquired, and I would say that any woman who wants to be attractive should certainly study it. To have manner, a girl must first learn how to walk and sit and stand correctly. When she accomplishes that, she has poise. The girl who wants to be called chic must also learn everything there is to know about grooming. That pertains to her hair, her skin, her makeup, her hands . . . everything. * * * To A Man's Eye grooming is everything. He loathes the crooked seam of a stocking, makeup that doesn't look fresh, a coiffure so complicated it appears uncomfortable. A man particularly likes to see a woman move with ease. Tugging and twisting of uncomfortable clothes is horrible to him. You might take a tip from the men and the way they dress. Their clothes usually fit well and they are utterly unconscious of what they are wearing. * * * High Fashion Is Right for someone who lives as Rosalind Russell does in "Tell It To The Judge" ... in an active social life amid surroundings of wealth. If that isn't your way of life, adapt and modify high fashion so that it is becoming to you and your life. Simplify your clothes so you can wear a good suit or dress from one season to the next. It won't be plain or dull; it can be extremely distinctive if you add your own personal touches to it. 72
