DRESS AS YOU PLEASE

Women have always complained to me that their husbands were not interested in cloths. Perhaps that is because women have so often been more interested in following the fashion than in creating beauti ful costumes. I am sure that any woman who dresses to plase herself will soon and that the men she knows are pleased with her. They may not always know just how she has secured her effects but they will be aware of her graciousness and charm.
