Don't hold up silks and display rags. Don't wear a sailor hat with a silk dress. Don't use pins where stitches would do. Don't wear striped material if you are tall. Don't wear tan shoes if you have big feet. Don't wear a white petticoat unless it is white. Don't d ress more fashionably than becomingly. Don't imagine that beauty will atone for untidiness. Don't buy coimnon boots - they are not economical. Don't trim good material with common trimmings. Don't wear sleeves and big hats if you are short. Don't expect great bargains to turn out great savings. Don't jump into your olothes and expect to look dressed. Don'tdressyour head at the expense of your hands and feet. Don't wear feathers in your hat and patches on your boots. Don't achieve the grotesque while attempting the original. Don't pinch your waist. Fat, like i murder, will out - somewhere. Don't forget that dress was made for woman, not woman for dress. Don't put powder on your cheeks j without looking in the glass afterj ward. Don't forget that although veils are becoraing to most faces, feet veiled in lace stockings do not look well in the street. Don't emulate the. ostrich; the new flower in your hat does not divert attention from the ragged condition of your skirt lining.
