A CLEVER three-quarter- n I Dress In these days Is a science, and the majority of women, recognizing that fart, study Us problems accordingly. Indeed, It Is the time and thought spent on this tremendously Important subject of dress that enables the Amerlran woman to be so universally well dressed, while wealth Is confined to tbe minority. Beautiful and correct dress is not attained by tbe length of ones purse alone. Invention, Ingenuity and adaptation are the most potent factors in the attainment of the coveted result. Indeed, the smartness of tbe American woman la due tn large measure to her ability to express her individuality In her costumes. In It she shows lier sense of the beautiful, and though closely observing the essentials of the mode, the clothes bespeak the woman herself, her taste, originality and Invention. Farid fashions epitomize the mode, but we Americans, accepting the idea of the master, develop them to their full possIhlUtlea of variation nnd adaptation to Individual taste.
