It is unwise, for instance, for a 15 tall girl to wear a black hat and black shoes with a long stretch of lighttoned dress in between. The reason for this is that quite un- conaclously the eye travels from hat 13 to shoes and becomes aware of the distance from one to the other. 15 Elther the hat or the shoes should match the dress. Also it is a good
