If she is feeling tired, or not in her usual spirits, she will per hapa be too weary to be bothered to concentrate, and if her mind is not on the subject in hand, she will let herself be satisfied with something that is not really suit- able for her and she will never look well-dressed in the garment she chooses.
Equally foolish is it to make the hurry. In a mistake of shopping Sometimes this is Inevitable; an un- occur may expected engagement which calls for u new frock.

It is true that it is the business of the shop assistant or dressmaker to show a customer as many varieties of style as possible to help her in her cholec, but if the customer has no ideas of her own, an array of frocka then will often contuse rather simplify her choice.
