Blends With Sun-Tan Skin
Delicate apple green flat erepe fashions this summer coat worn by Diane Ellis, left. The long scarf collar of curly gray krimmer is a stunning addition. There's a flattering note in the colour and style of the ensemble shown by Mary Doran, right. The lemon- yellow silk of the sleeveless blouse and cleverly cut skirt, blends with the summer tan skin "being shown" at the smart resorts.

Our chiefs may dislike to see us powdering our noses in the office, but they rightly argue that a girl who takes the trouble to make her- self attractive is not only neat and tidy in her work but creates a good impression with business visitors.

Like many old sayings and Bibli- cal proverbs, "apare the rod and apoll the child" should not be taken literally, I believe the word "rod" is really intended to be trans- lated "correction," and correction should be by every reasonable method, but not by physical assault. Whipping children is nothing leas than physical assault.
