THE DUTY OF DRESS IS
FLATTERY
This is not a reason in which to order clothes carelessly. There are a great many very lovely models, for the evening hours and for the, day-time; but there are certain features which appear regularly in some of the collections and which are definitely difficult to wear;"per- haps particularly so for English- women in the English climate.
One of the chief danger points is the detail of shoulder and leeve treatment.
You see a huge, faring bow op one or perhaps both shoulders of an evening dress, and probably in- velvet. The neckline of the dress is usually quite shallow in front, but the back of the wearer down to the waist is hardly concealed at all.
On a very tall, very siender and legant woman with a good carri age this can be very satisfying. It tends to increase her already pleas ing slenderness and enhances the nentness of her head.
On a short woman, or onde with the faintest suggestion of round shoulders or a chin carried toð far forward, the effect is quite deplor able. It emphasises all 'her worst points and exhibits none of that flattery which is part of the duty of s good tiress.
There are other evening dresses whose lines de full justice to a good figure and help, an indifferent one. Many of the most pleasing are in velvet, sometimes plain and some-

Sometimes the garment which, at first sight, appears to be a long and jelegant evening wrap turns out to be one of the waist length ones after all, but so gracefully is it blended with its dress that it is difficult to see where one enda and the other begins.

A Painted Pattern, All beginners in canvas start with a painted pattern. It was the way Lady Maud Carnegio learned; now, after four years of practice, she has gained confidence and blonds her own colours. The expert in the Royal Family is Lady Patricia Ramsay.
