DONT’S IN DRESS
When a scarf is worn with a jumper suit, either the handkerchief variety or a long throw-over-the shoulder one. it always takes its character from the skirt. The don ’ts in dress are legion, and they are almost more important than their opposite. Don’t have too miny dresses. Don’t have too much trimming. It is better to follow fashion at a reasonable distance; she is an excellent servant, but a bad mistress. Use her according to your needs and pocket, and let the motto over your wardrobe be: “Be simple, be neat, and never try to be grand.” Miss 1929 will have nothing of the flapper about her. She will be much more subtle and polished, and she will wear black instead of colours. She wiil blend rouge evenly, and inhale cigarettes gracefully, without puffing furiously. And, unlike her predecessor, she will drink her liquor from a teacup rather than from a glass.
