DRESSING WELL ON A MODERATE ALLOWANCE.

To carry this out successfully. yon, must have soma• well-devised plan, and -realise exactly, as a preliminary,'" whatsis,f-innth'o wardrobe; x aII purchases, must be. made .with a .view.of .utilising'-the possessions 'that 'exist. A ,-jist- should jHe made of" what;'.is ..waiht-ed, which must be-cut down 'considerably.'- i.Thc colours that can or cannot be wprh'.rau3't be decided-0n,.50 that hats, toques, cjoaks, etc., should bo 'interchangeable,' ami-nothing must be bought, of proiiouneed fashion:":' ;'A, Welldefined plan save? timo : and money and secures a good : result. It. will:.be"necessar t v, however, to buy good . things,.; which'-' will give chic, to tho. toilette,and, nqthi!ig,miist lie procured haphazard.

Blaok icloalcs and . fur cloaks answer best, there is no doubt, and nowadays, with rich embroidery, they fulfil every "purpose of' quietness ; .a>id smartness. Fur .toqpes, slightly altered. from year to year, are good stand-bys,, jjpjjqeially '•now, when (lowers are porn 'upon |th'em. For motoring nothing answers better, than cheviot, with a movable fur lining, because tliey are suitable alike for sumriier or winter, or, at all "ovents, they can be adapted" to them.
