WALKING
DRESSES--Walking
dresses,
to
be
in
good
taste,
should
be
of
quiet
colors,
and
never
conspicuous.
Browns,
modes,
and
neutral
tints,
with
black
and
white,
make
the
prettiest
dresses
for
the
street.
Above
all,
avoid
wearing
several
bright
colors.
One
may
be
worn
with
perfect
propriety
to
take
off
the
sombre
effect
of
a
dress
of
brown
or
black,
but
do
not
let
it
be
too
glaring,
and
wear
but
little
of
it.
Let
the
boots
be
sufficiently
strong
and
thick
to
protect
the
feet
from
damp
or
dust,
and
wear
always
neat,
clean,
nicely
fitting
gloves.
The
entire
effect
of
the
most
tasteful
costume
will
be
ruined
if
attention
is
not
paid
to
the
details
of
dress.
A
soiled
bonnet
cap,
untidy
strings,
or
torn
gloves
and
collar
will
utterly
spoil
the
prettiest
costume.
There
is
no
surer
mark
of
vulgarity
than
over
dressing
or
gay
dressing
in
the
street.
Let
the
materials
be
of
the
costliest
kind,
if
you
will,
but
do
not
either
wear
the
exaggerations
of
the
fashion,
or
conspicuous
colors.
Let
good
taste
dictate
the
limits
where
fashion
may
rule,
and
let
the
colors
harmonize
well,
and
be
of
such
tints
as
will
not
attract
attention.
FOR
MORNING
CALLS--The
dress
should
be
plain,
and
in
winter
furs
and
dark
gloves
may
be
worn.
FOR
BRIDAL
CALLS--The
dress
should
be
of
light
silk,
the
bonnet
dressy,
and
either
a
rich
shawl
or
light
cloak;
no
furs,
and
light
gloves.
In
summer,
a
lace
or
silk
mantle
and
white
gloves
should
be
worn.
