160 HEALTH: DRESS, AND ITS RELATION TO TEMPERAMENTS.

E propose in this chapter to offer a few miscellaneous observations on the preservation of the health, and also on the adaptation of the costume to the particular type of beauty which it is intended to adorn. This will naturally involve some observation in reference to simple hygienic rules; the quality and material most suitable for general wear, and the adaptation of the colour of the garment to the complexion of the wearer.
