roundings. And she changes har mood and her looks to suit the man and the moment.

To me, this picture illustrates completely and clearly the meaning of the words sophisticated charm.

This girl has studied her figure and features until she knows exactly how to make the most of them. What she is really like doesn't mat- ter for so cleverly has she created an illusion, that we accept it with- out question.

The dress she has chosen is sim- ple, but the sort of wicked simplicity that makes a designer's name world- known.

The high bust line gives her a lovely length of limb, which is so important in evening dress. The bust line is flattering to a flat chest, concealing to a full one,

The tiny bolero is young, the short sleeves becoming to pretty arms.
