Table Smartness For The Hostess
SEMI-TRAINED BLACK
TAFFETA
London.
New table mats of glass, wood, rubber, or cork are useful for in- formal meale as an occasional change from your linen luncheon seta.
Square cork mats are gaily paint ed in a three-coloured cublat design. Other plain cork mats have a colour- ed picture of one's favourite dog, be it spaniel, retriever, or Alastion. Round or square rubber mats, too, are handpainted in a variety of designs.
Wooden mats which are heatproof and stainless are now being made to match every type of table in light jook, sycamore, limed oak, or maho-
gany...
Folding wooden mats are specially designed to fit the dinner wagon orf sideboard, so that there is no fear of polished surfaces being spoiled.] There are, of course, amall mats of

The edges can be bound together with a piece of black or coloured passe-partout.
Wooden cocktail mats, each in- scribed with a suitable phrase "Have Another?" or "Here's to You"--are very gay this winter, and Jare certainly worth their price for protecting polished trays, and tables.
Mats of real lace are fashionable Fagain, and are, most suitable for the {formal dining-table that is laid with
sparkling cut glass and silver.

SCARLET TRIMMING
FOUNDATION
GARMENTS
IMPORTANT
To Mould A Beautiful· Figure
London
There are three or four differ- ent silhouettes for evening wear this season, and, we might as well face the fact, each of them de- mands an extremely good founda- tion garment beneath.
No matter whether your gown
is so alim that it has to be slashed
to let you walk, or so full that you feel you might be wearing fancy dreas, dress-makers still insist that, to look right, it must awing and slip over a beautifully mould-| jed figure beneath.
Experts tell us that there aro only five fundamental “Agure types."
Corsets To Suit All Types If you are young, you may have fa sway back, which means that your waist is curved and there is a tendency to weight on your thighs. When you are older, your hips will tend to grow heavier- and this is another type. Then there is a heavier figure, which needs a definite support-round the abdomen a third-type..
The average and fourth type has the flesh and weight equally dis- tributed. The fifth is short below the waist, with a heavy bust and short hips.
Now, each of these types bas jbeen studled and each should be fitted with a special kind' of gar- ment. The point is that this gar ment should not only give you the right support, but also correct; to Ja great extent, any deficiencies in
your figure.
When women boast that they wear only a small belt instead of
corset, one invariably wonders if they réalise what they are letting | themselves in for when they are
older.
