Again Rosner's scores with the greatest dress value of the season. THE AUSTIN AMERICAN, AUSTIN, TEXAS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, For Delivery Service Telephone 3333. Being Simple and Natural Sure Way of Winning World's Hand If I could give one advice more earnest than another to girls, it would be this: Be simple.

Be natural. Don't pose. Don't pretend. Simplicity disarms criticism. If you are just ag you are, and do not affect to be anything else, you are entrenched in an unassailable posttion.

Nothing is to be said about it. You are safe from gibes and ridicule. It is only when you are pretending to be something that you are not that you make yourself a target for ridicule, You may wear 8 simply made cotton dress and look as smart as a fashion plate, but when you put on 8 befurbelcwed near -silk you become a provincial travesty of the style. You may set an epicure down to well corned beef and cabbage and he will consider feast, but he will shrug his shoulders at a dinner of elaborate- dishes that you did not know how to prepare properly. You may be attractive and popular even if you are homely, but not if you give yourself the airs and graces of a beau- ty.

If you are a poor girl and have to work for your living, don't pretend that you are a bored debutante who has got weary of balls parties and yachts and things, and has gone business lark. Don't take dictation, if you are a stenographer, as if you were Miss Van Alstin listening with one ear to a tedious tale from a fat old man at a dinner. Don't wait on your customers, if you are a salesgirl, as if you were a haughty duchess condescending to hand out a pair of stockings to an unconsidered member of the proletariat. And don't apologize for having to work, and tell everybody you meet about what an aristocratic wealthy family you come from and how your great-grandmother's second cousin on your father's side was something or other and that God knows you never thought you would come to this. Everybody respects the girl who has intelligence enough to hold down a good job, and they honor her for hustling out and supporting herself instead of being a parasite on her poor old father or a millstone around the necks of her brothers.

And everybody is ready three cheers to the girl who 18 interested in her profession who is trying to do good work and give good service. Calendar King's Daughters with Mrs. J. A. Johnson, 4 p.

DOROTHY DIX If you are a poor girl, don't pretend to be a rich one. On a working girl's salary don't try to dress like Miss Croesus, Everybody knows how far a dollar goes, and many a girl starts the gossip that blackens her 'character by fibbing about never wearing anything but georgette lingerie and casually remarking that her, hat is a bargain that she picked for $60 at a sale or she only paid $100 for the imported frock she has on, when, In reality, she washes out her own undies to save laundry, and with her own clever fingers makes all her hats and gowns. But her pretense has set people to wondering who pays her bills. And like as not has done her out of a good husband, because no poor and ambitious young chap is looking for a wife whose shoe bills he figures out are more than his salary, And don't pretend to know it all, and to have been everywhere and seen it all.

Don't be one of those foolish virgins who pose as literary when they have not even read a sixth best seller, and who do not know whether Booth Tarkington is a brand of canned goods or a bond salesman. Neither be one of those who have never even been a hundred miles from home, but who affect to be globe-trotters, though they never can remember any specific thing about any of the foreign countries they claim to have visited.

Green Red Derby Robin Hood Tricornes The Duchess Sand JACOB FALL Don't be afraide to say that you A don't know. Intelligent ignorance one of the most delightful characteristics a girl can have, because is we all have the showman complex and like to startle and amuse and enlighten those who know less than we do. Especially men do, and any girl who will sit at the feet of a man and grasp the pearls of wisdom that fall from his lips cure him as a permanent oracle if she wants him, Don't pretend to be better lookIng than you are. Imagine the joke of a ham sandwich masquerading as pink ice cream, and you will get a line on what a figure of fun a homely girl makes of herself when she poses as a living picture. It is one thing for a girl with soulful orbs to look up to a man with a dying-calt expression in her eyes and it is another thing for a girl with eyes like a burnt hole in a blanket to try to pull the trick.

A little ninety -pound flapper may jump around like a monkey on a stick and look cute, but when a big hefty girl flounders around she resembles nothing so much as a performing elephant. The goddess girl may give herself airs and demand homage from men, but the ugly girl has got to work for hers. But the girl who knows she is plain of face and who doesn't pretend be anything else can be 80 interesting and amusing, such a good sport, such a peachy dancer, and carry such an assorted line of side attractions that she can hold her own with any bathing beauty, And, finally, don't pretend to be too hard boiled. is a sophisticated, too worldly, wise, pose in girls, and it is a fatal mistake, because what we love and admire in them is innocence and sweetness and faith in all pure and beautiful things. So If you want to make a hit, girls, just be simple and unaffected.

That is your one best bet. DOROTHY DIX.
