The Campus Mirror 5 What? When? Why? Column Edited by Girls in Home Economics Department What Shall We Wear? (Suggestions taken from Vogue’s Book of Etiquette.) What you wear helps to tell who you are. Too few of us stop to think how far this matter of the appearance of the person counts. To dress in keeping with the general sur roundings of one’s life, and make no pre tence about it one way or another is a pretty safe rule. The moment one finds oneself dressing for the kind of part someone else is play ing, one is dressing vulgarly; for nothing more surely indicates lack of character and breeding than for people leading one kind of life to adopt unbefitting accessories from people leading another. There has been a steady trend toward less formality in world customs, and costume has been no less affected. Simplicity is the key note of all dressing. People do not change their clothes to change their personality. Many people have been so much affected by this idea that when they change from a work costume to an evening costume, they assume a hyper sensitive posture, modify their methods of speech, uttering many unnecessary, gutteral sounds, acquire short, quick steps, impossible to maintain throughout their ordinary walk ing and are snobbish persons, to say the least. On the contrary, thinking people change their clothing in order to be clean, neat, and as attractive as possible when they meet for whatever occasion is at hand, and maintenance of personality is first in consideration. The Vogue editors have given fine answers to many questions which are Iteing asked constantly by a careful society. A few of these are printed below: What is good dressing? Appropriate dressing with good taste. It is not good dressing to wear anything too fine for one’s occupation or surroundings. What arc some c.ram pies of nui/>propriate dressing f The wearing of satin or light suede high- heeled slippers in muddy or snowy streets or of gay, elaborate clothes for office work. What are some examples of appropriate dressi n g f Perfection of detail, freshness of any white that shows, cleanness of gloves, well polished boots, and the trimness of every day garments. Is it always necessary to change one’s clothes for dinner? It is always well to do so, if possible. Not to do so is lazy and provincial. Do women always take off their hats in theatres? Yes, because hats interfere with other people’s view of the stage. What is good taste in jewelry f That it should be appropriate. No matter how becoming precious stones are to a woman, she would, in the daytime, wear only such pieces of jewelry as might be considered suitable with the dress she has on and the occupation she is pursuing. Is high polish on finger nails considered good taste? Upon the most distinguished fingers, nails are neither too much colored nor too var nished looking. When are gloves necessary? In the streets and when traveling. If you have some question that you would like answered, send it to us and we shall be glad to answer it through this column.
