Incorporated In a woman s dress which will be the dynamo that starts the subtle currents that produce the condition we call being fascinated A statue of Venus with a certain colored light falling across tho white marble and staining It may bring out all its fascination and make It curiously Intimate the same statue with a red rose on Its head Is a rather charming grotesque and the same statue with a garter around Its knee Is a shocking thing 'Vet light and rose and garter are only Inanimate things as the statue Is In themselves they are nothing but In conjunction they can start within the mind of the onlooker a chain of ex traordlnary vivid ideas The same rule holds true In dreBS Oowns are nothing but fabrics and color and a woman is per te what Kipling has called her But what Kipling failed to consider Is that because woman and dress are much more than this In the minds of those who see her she Js really what the eye mind pictures hei" no more and no less It would seem therefore Intelligent for every woman to study how she can bring up In the minds of people the best Image and so become to so many such a charming complex creature Nothing y j w-v fp y I satlon by brains by physl itL fSr cal as well as mental charm and It can be done by dress Dress Is most Important, Impor-tant, though because It can also lnten slfy and bring out all the other fascinations fascina-tions Now a dress can be a very beautiful dresa and still have nothing about it that makes a definite fascinating impression.
