Ladies in limousines, dressed for
parties, wear French heels ano
decollete gowns. Therefore, every
ignorant girl who wants to be taken
tor what she is not Ihlnkv she must
wear high heels and low-neckeo
dresses to her work. They never
realize that persons of real taste
also have common-sense, and don't
wear such garb except on formal
occix Ions.
Perhaps the example which Mrs.
Hoover set, of wearing a cotton
gown to a formal party, will help
; dispel the Idea that to be taken foi
i a lady a girl must always wear silk.
