E KNOW a young lady who always looks like a million dollars yet lives on a limited income. We W asked her just how she managed it. Here's the answer she gave : "Every season I begin to look for ad\'ance fashion notes for the coming season. I plan very far ahead because I make my own clothes in order to get the quality of fabric I want .. . and beca-use I make things better than any of the clothes I could afford to buy are made. Out of all thE new ideas I sift out the ones that seem best suited to my type, circumstances and needs. I buy carefully; I know how much my small salary has got to do for me. "For example: Early this summer I bought a beautiful. all silk crash that is cool and doesn't wrinkle easily. Out of this came a tunic dress for afternoon. I made it in brown for three reasons. I wear brown well: with white it is very smart for summer; it does not soil quickly. I have little extra time; I won't spend all of it laundering. Counting the white pique trimming and a 50C pattern I spent only $3 for the dress. Since the brown skirt was separate I bought more silk crash in aqua for a jacket. I bound the pockets of this with scraps left over from the brown dress. The jacket cost $1. I made the brown pique, crownless hat. It cost 50C. The panama hat in white was rescued from a sale for $1.95. Fortunately I don't have "expensive" feet. I pay $3.95 for my shoes most of the time. The ties of natural crash and brown leather are for the tailored suit, the white linen pumps for the tunic dress. One pair of white gloves, one pair of brown set me back $1.88. My linen purse, also a sale purchase was $1.50. I'm sat­ isfied with everything ... particularly when I remember that it all cost me around $17.03 ... less than many girls­ in my position pay for one dress. But I have a bank account, they don't. "I think I'm rather smart to manage as I d(}." AND WE AGREE WITH YOU! -SHARI.
