Gold contrasts with any dark color, but looks richer with purple,green, blue, black and brown than with the other colors. It harmo-nizes with all light color, but least with yellow. The best harmonyis with good sense is to the mind. Dress is really a department of man-ners, and appeals to the eye with the same force that gracious wordsand softly keyed voices appeal to the ear. Costliness is not themeasure of the beauty of dress. Nay, rather suitability, harmony,becomingness, unobtrusiveness, fitness for the place and person arethe qualities that make it perfect. And because these canons of good taste are so frequently sinnedagainst it has seemed best to give the proper dress and appointmentsfor the proper times. Not as to particular styles for they are fleetingas the breath of fashion, but as to general principles which are wellnigh changeless. Once certain of these fundamental principles,embarrassment and self-consciousness are banished. Dress at Home. It is, perhaps, the dress at home that tells most of the care andcharacter of the wearer. Muc
