The Business Woman: Just because a woman is a business woman is no reason why she must lose her feminine attractiveness or dress so very differently from other women. On the other hand, she doesn’t want to look out of place. The one-piece dress has been a boon to her. It is her special standby.

For cool weather, a dress of serge, twill or velour freshened up with several changes of dainty collars and cuffs of batiste or organdie will keep her looking spic and span and attractive, too, six days in the week.

Navy blue or brown linen, gingham, swiss or organdie make an inconspicuous and serviceable office dress for summer. It’s a good idea, too, having a dark silk office dress made in some plain becoming style.

There are certain types of sports costumes which are suited to the business woman’s purpose. Wool jersey and homespun suits are business among these. A silk skirt, a woman dainty blouse, and a sweater is also quite in keeping with an office.
