A DAUGHTER'S DRESS SENSE.

HER SUGGESTIONS. Every girl loves to have pretty clothes, and there is no reason at all why she should not; but there aro_ verv many, who, having had no training in this direction, and not having acquired any taste in dressing, buy beautiful and expensive clothes, but are never well dressed.

To be well dressed does not mean to bp expensively dressed. Dress taste can be acquired after one has grown up, but how much better equipped is the girl who has been guided from childhood in her choice of clothes.

Wise mothers begin early to develop this dress taste, and when going shopping often take their small daughters with thein. They are allowed to make suggest'o.ns for their own clothes, and though at first the mother may be inclined to pmile at the perhaps grotesque choices made, she is thus given splendid opportunities for showing her daughter why such a combination of colours is wrong, or why that S articular stylo is unsuitable for her gure and complexion. Many girls on leaving school for good find the buying of a new wardrobe a verv difficult problem, and are obliged to seek help and advice from mothers or friends.

But the mother who has trained her daughter's dress taste can leave this undertaking safely and completely in her hands, knowing that in so doing her character and individuality will best come into their own.
