Plainness in Dress and Modest Colors

By M. M.

PLAINNESS of dress does not always consist in the making. So let us ever be careful to avoid showy colors, especially red, also large figured or broad-striped materials. Stripes are especially adapted to stout women, making them appear taller. But let it always be a narrow stripe. Black, white, dark blue, and green, besides different shades of brown and gray, are modest colors. Also a combination of black and white or blue and white is always in favor. The majority of people are not personally acquainted with Adventists, and can judge only from appearances. M. M.
