How to dress with the greatest taste is a problem which has interested the world since the time when man (and woman, too, for that matter) was limited, in making d se lection, to the choice of forest leaves. The rule laid down by “the melancholy Dane” for dressing in taste has been the established law of the fash ionable world for three centuries.
