Daily tip from the lady archive

"NEW clothes are the most wonderful tonic in the world. The meekest of women going out for the first time in her new hat and suit will achieve a feeling of jauntiness which comes from her deep inner satisfaction."

The Lady. Keep Joy In Your Clothes. 18th January, 1934
