Tailored Clothes the Most
Practical for
Little Miss Fluffy Ruffles Is 'Never Taken Seri
ously in the Earnest Work-a-day
World.
By JIILIV CHAJVDLKIl BIA'NZ.
With the coming of the new jear
there seems to be a general Influx of
debutantes to the business world; girls
who are oung In ears and jounger
SUIT In experience. From several of them
have oome letters to me asking for a
word of advice along the line of the
proper sort of clothes to wear during
the work-a-day hours In downtown
shops or offices, as the casei may be. a
question which has presented a problem
to women since they first began to en
ter the business world
The solution of the working woman s
dress worry Is not eas), because It must
be regulated largely by the amount of
money she has at her disposal, but there
Is one rule which every girt- whether
she Is earning much or little money, may
follow with perfect assurance that she
cannot go wrong In so doing, and that
one rule Is simplicity
Miss Fluffy Ruffles may be a pretty
and dalntj bit of fcmlnlnlt, but there
is no place for her In cither office or
shop where life is earnest and set ere.
I have known girls to begin their Busi
ness life with many frills and furbelows,
but they soon discover that the) are not
only in poor taste, but that they actuall)
retard progress In the fulfillment of thelr
dutlcs.
flakes Poor Impression.
In tho first place, a dressed-up doll-
girl Elves the business world a ver)
quick impression that she Is there to be
admired and not to win her way to the
success upon which chances are, she Is
dependent for her dally bread and but
ter as a consequence of which no one
takes her seriously, and her climb to pro
motion is much slower than that of the
)oung woman who alwajn is neat and
tailored in her appearance, giving one
the Idea that she Is ready for earnest
work, equipped mentall) and dressed
appropriate!
Every girl Instinctively loves pretty
clothes Frilly frccks, shadowy laces,
and all that sort of thing seem a nat
ural part of her life, but they should be
onl) a part of her home and social life
and never enter Into the da) time
hours which she gives to the pursuit
of a business career
Remembering that simplicity and
neatness form the kejnote of good
taste in dressing for business, the next
question propounded Is, "What then
shall I wear" to which comes the an
swer that ever) woman must be a law
unto herself, selecting that which is
tailored, durable, and becoming
Since the white shirtwaist dawned
on the clothes horizon there has never
tome a more serviceable thing for the
woman working downtown, for the
white blouse. Is neat and gives one the
impression of cleanliness and good
taste at all times Business women
who can afford the laundr) bills which
separate waist and skirt entail will
never perhaps accept a substitute To
the beginner In business life, who has
only a tmall salarv upon which to de
pend the laundering of white shirt
waists is such an item of expense as
to make them Impossible to many, for
even the careful girl In the cleanest
office, can wear a white blouse but two
days, and It is more often the case that
she must change her shirtwaist every
morning In order to present a neat ap
pearance The one-piece frock has come as a
bourne to many business women both
because it is so much easier to get Into
than a separate waist and skirt, and
also because it solves the laundry
problem There are few things more
attractive than a little dark serge
dress with white linen collar and cuffs
for office wear during tho winter
months while the ginghams, percales,
and muslins can take the place of cash-,
mere and serge when summer rolls
around once again
lias One Objection.
The thief objection to either the dark,
unwashable walt or frock is that It
soon nccummulates much dust and be
comes verj soiled If worn week after
week in an office, but the girl who can
have two such dresses for work can
change off from one to tho other, thus
minimizing this objection Certainly for
the girl who has little time In which to
make her morning toilet tho one-piece
dress is a tremendous convenience, for
which reason It is likely to hold Its own
for many a long da) to come, despite
the fickle turns of fashion
Kxpcrienced business women have
often told me that the mode of dress
employed during working hours has a
Ftrong psychological Influence over the
amount and character of work accom
plished Let the business woman who Is ac
customed to simplicity of garb during
her working hours come down to her
office some fine morning all dressed up
Get all the wear out
of your clothes.
Jt'-s folly to discard a suit that's a
little worn Let us rejuvenate It.

members of that class carried within their
minds an active and deep-rooted preju

have found her dead rather than on the
doorstep.

The Home Library.
In her home there was a small book

two histories, and a long row of old
numbers of the Century Magazine re
bound In brown leather. Other than
'Swiss Family Robinson.- "Alice in
onderland " and "Black Beauty." there
were no books In the cafe suited to o

loved books, and wanting more and more
to read all the time, she discovered the
old magazine) and spent hours rt-adlng
the stories, looking at the pictures, and
even glancing through the articles on
travel and history. Thus. long before
she was twelve )ears old, she learned
to know 'William Dean Howell. Frank

George W. Cable. Thomas Nelson Fage,
Mark Twain, and a dozen others whose
names are associated with the best ef

That early reading laid a firm founda

taste in selection of her books. Reading
only the best, she cultivated a natural
liking for what was well-written, and a
natural distaste for what was mediocre,
or worthless. In time the standards be

Of course, the ice yielded under his

that So he called out defiantly and

gled up sometimes when they try to
figure out Its meaning, but wiser heads
ought to do what they can to teach bo)s
and girls that true heroism Is too flne
and ro)al a thing to be mixed up with a
"dare,"
Requires Bmvery.
Sometimes It takes courage, plenty and
plenty of It, to bo true to ourselves, in
dependent enough to go ahead and do
the things that we know we ought to do
For, from the very da)s of childhood,
we carry along the foolish spirit of
"'frald cat" afraid to throw back a
"dare "
And all that we fear is ridicule, the
ridicule of folk who do not know what It
Is to be brave and do not guess what it
means to be true.
It Is not easy to teach children what
we have not learned ourselves, but while
they are little folk, living In a world
where small things count If they could
be taught how to reckon values, how to
know what counts and what can be
turned aside well, they surely would
hav o easier, pleasanter going all through
the wa) of life
Little folk will not take a dare which
they know may lead to trouble, and big
folk are Just as much afraid-afraid of
comment, that is alt
It was a man who complained awhtta
ago of the burdens that half the world
carried tight around their necks. They
were In desperate straits all the time,
not knowing which way to look and
which way to turn. The trouble, as ha
saw It all came about through the de
plorable lack of money, and he was as
hard pressed as any.
But he was a man who earned a ery
good salary, who knew where his finances
stood, and the philosophical listener who
heard his complaint asked him If these
foolish burdens might not be scattered
If he had the pluck to unload.
In n Dansrerous Position.
Because there was not one that was not
of bis making, not one that ought to be
there They were burdens that came
about b) the failure to take a dare He
did not have the courage to live as his
salary warned him to live and was not
courageous enough to guide his family
away from tho dangers of debt And
wh) ' Oh, Just because there was an
unconscious "dare" In the standard of
friends and acquaintances, who had
plenty of mone) to spend. And so he Is
skating around on ice that Is ery thin,
liable to break through at any time, and
to be In deep water, clear over his head.
And he call them burdens!
And probably If all of us realized just
how f ne, hpw free and glorious it would
seem to be emancipated from all the
wearisome, burdensome exactions put
upon us by dares" that we foolishly
take because we are not brave enough
to set them aside, we wonld skate awav
from tho .thin Ice, regardless of what
might be said
And when we got out In the open,
where all was serene and at peace, we
would know the real meaning of "'frald
