1938. Officers' Dress. Upon public and state occasions all officers should appear in uniform. 1929. Ladies' Dress. Ladies' dresses should be chosen so as to produce an agreeable harmony. Never put on a dark-coloured bonnet with a light spring costume. Avoid uniting colours which will suggest an epigram; such as a straw-coloured dress with a green bonnet. 1930. Arrangement of the Hair. The arrangement of the hair is most important. Bands are becoming to faces of a Grecian caste. Ringlets better suit lively and expressive heads. Avoid the extremes of fashion, whatever the fashion may be, especially those fashions which tend to spoil the hair and render it unfitted for plainer styles. 1931. Excess of Lace and Flowers. Whatever be your style of face, avoid an excess of lace, and let flowers be few and choice. 1932. Appropriateness of Ornaments. In a married woman a richer style of ornament is admissible. Costly elegance for her--for a young girl, a style of modern simplicity. 1933. Simplicity and Grace. The most elegant dress loses its character if it is not worn with grace. Young girls have often an air of constraint, and their dress seems to partake of their want of ease. In speaking of her toilet, a women should not convey the idea that her whole skill consists in adjusting tastefully some trifling ornaments. A simple style of dress is an indication of modesty. 1934. Cleanliness. The hands should receive special attention. They are the outward signs of general cleanliness. The same may be said of the face, the neck, the ears, and the teeth. The cleanliness of the system generally, and of bodily apparel, pertains to Health, and is treated of under this head.
