REALMS OF COLOUR.
TO DRESS CLEVERLYTo dress cleverly one must use great self-restraint. It is hopeless to allow oneself to be tempted by bargains, however .illuring they may^bo; women who pick up odd lengths of stuff and remnants, and force tliern to materialise as dresses, usually finish by looking liko remnants themselves, writes a correspondent. , It is not only in the realms of colour that mistakes are made; plump women seem fatally drawn towards jumpers with circular stripes that give them tho appearance of beer barrels, while thin ones cling to dresses which have tho effect of making them look thinner than ever. It is always the fattest legs and the thickest ankles that are attired 111 tinnedsalinon coloured stockings and elaborate high-heeled shoes. Perhaps it is merely another example of that hard-worked phrase " an inferiority complex," in the same way that the shyest man will talk loudest at a) party in order to persuado himself and the world in general that lio is really not shy at all.
