THE SECRET OF SMARTNESS.

There is a wide gulf between " getting into your clothes" and "dressing." Remember Ibis if you would be accounted smart!

The smart girl is she whose every detail of dress and person boasts a finished touch. And this finished touch is bound to be lacking if the toilette is made in haste. " Uress in hasteand repent for the, rest, of the day," is a maiim to bo remembered.

Taking time over the toilette does not necessarily mean making an absorbing task of it. Habit makes concentration easy. Get the habit of concent railing for tho time being on your appearance—and for the rest of the day you may forfeit it. Do not imagine that you can produce a finished appearance by haphazard concentration. Smartness is the offspring of continuous care—care in the past as well as in the present. Take the question of hairdressing, for example. No matter how fashionable may be the style you adopt, you will never look attractively smart unless your hair is well groomed as well as smartly eoiffed. That well-groomed appearance is the result of care in the past. The hair must not only be scrupulously (lean, but it mujJt also have that qua'ity of " life" which is its greatest attraction. " Dead"-|ooking hair can never under any conditions lookwell groomed, because hi itself it proclaims to the world that proper care has been absent in the past.
