They Add Needed Sparkle BY EDNA MILES rpO some extent, the size of a woman’s wardrobe must depend on her adeptness at sleight-of-ham! with scarves, flowers, belts and jewelry. Even women who possess large wardrobes use these tricks, so they’re doubly important for the woman who must get along on limited means. ^ The best rule to go by in choosing accessories to dress up and vary your clothes is to pick those that are simple. Avoid fussy, tricky or extreme scarves, jewelry, gloves or stoles. You’ll tire of them quickly and so will everyone else. \ .* vi; 4 ■'<. Try, rather, to buy those shawls, capes, bags, belts, over skirts and aprons that can survjve more than one season. Try also to pick those that will sfcr4eN#fah more than one suit, dress or blouse in your closet. This way, you’re being kind to both your appearance and your budget With a little practice, you can learn to run up your own ties, scarves and net aprons. Examine carefully those on display in the stores. This will show you how to start. Even if you are not an expert seamstress, you can acquire a knack for these small accessories. You can further stretch your wardrobe by learning to tie a scarf or wear a stole more than one way. Use your imagination. You’ll find it richly rewarding.
