WOMAN'S WORLD
FOR OUR LADY READERS
Quite a pretty note is struck by the evening gown in sen-blue crepe satin and chiffon. The satin frock is perfectly plain, and long enough to fall three or four inches below the knees, while picat-edged chiffon flounces form an over-skirt which sweeps from the hip-line to the ankles at sides and back. The coatec, also of chiffon, ia quaintly attractive with its frilled, elbow-length sleeves.

What Our Clothes Tell.
BY A PSYCHOLOGIST. Clothes make cowards of us all. What Prime Minister would dare face the Housò in flannels?

To say that clothes are the ex- pression of the individual is but to echo the dictum of a thousand silver- tongued shop assistants
The truth of the assertion is in. disputable. Could Napoleon have done it in a bowler hatt asks Mr. Wyndham Lowis, putting the matter in a nutshell.
Clothes can express the mind, not only of the individual, but of the nge in which he livos. Hamlet in plus fours may serve as an example of Shakespeare's superiority over material considerations, but how alien in spirit are those extra or dinary nether garments from the spacious days of great Elikabeth!"
nangineers's overalls spel! ro- inance as surely as ever did doublet and hose, but change the period and the hero may well be mistaken for the fool
To a woman clothes are at ouce an inspiration and a
consolation, while inevitably they express ber personally. "What sort of woman is sho" I once heard a girl ask a friend. "My dear," was the answer, "she wears boots,"
Men delight in professing a com- plete indifference to clothes. Yet What man will deny the moral sup post afforded by a coat cut in Savile Row? How many men feel tempted to win the heart, however golden, which beats beneath a Jaeger vest
The alchemy of clothes can effect marvellous transformation.
