As a rule we have too many clothes, and we keep them too long. The best dressed Parisiennes buy very few clothes. They buy them four times à year, but a very few at a time. A woman will buy a smart day coat with a dress to go under it, she will care- fully choose Eat, handbag, shoes and stockings to complete the ensemble, which she will wear continually, for the next few months. Then she will get a new outfit, and the old one will not be seen again.

The French woman is not afraid of being seen in the same clothes over and over again for a few months. The whole secret of her emartness lies in the fact that while her clothes are in uso they are kept in perfect condition. The easiest kind of shop to find in France is a dry cleaner's Clothes are clean ed perfectly and returned to the owner within twenty-four hours.

One advantage of buying very few elothes and wearing them for A short while only is that you are always in the fashion. The women who do this have to be extremely careful, though, not to choose fussy things, or clothes that they get tired of when they have worn them once or twice. They have to be very sure of their good taste, and they cannot afford to make mistakes.

So many Englishwomen allow themselves to be over persuaded by saleswomen into buying clothes that they do not really like very much, No woman can look smart in clothes that she does not care for. If you believe in your good faste, then you wear your clothes well, and they look well on you even if they are ugly. The same self-confidence works wonders with your looks.

There are any number of plain

PRINTED SILK FROCKS.

AS GAY AS THE COTTONS.

The Dolly Vardon Hat Shop has something new and most attractive to tempt the poor depressed dollars; cut of our purses. You will have seen the delightfully gay. little dresses of cotton print which have been there for the last few weeks, and a lot of you were, I know, waiting, eagerly, for the new ship- ment which arrived a few days ago.

With them have come similar | frocks in printed rayon, and silk poplin.. They have all the good qualities of the printed cottons, ex- cellent cut, novel and amusing style, and gay and youthful colours, and in addition the sheen and draping qualities of silk. Severa! of them are made with close fitting hip jokes, and bows are a favourite form of trimming. Some of these materials are woven with a border! ia more solid colours which gives a pretty finish at the hem.

Besides the prints there is a series of dresses in silk poplin in plain colours: White piped with colour for tennis, and pastel shades: piped with white for other occa- sions or for tennis if you like.. Among them I much admired one in daffodil yellow with a very pretty cut at the neck.

Among the new cotton prints are 'several with organdie collars which gives them a charmingly fresh look, and is more becoming to all but the of the print at the neck. very young than the straight line)

A most attractive collection of printed voiles has just arrived in Whiteaway, Laidlaw's. also a number of single dress There are lengths of 4 yards each no two of which are alike.
