Canapes
Open sandwiches for bridge parties suggest pecial card-shaped cutters.

Hair swept softly back from the temples and brushed up from the nape of the neck in the pompadour line and coiled in oft ringlets on the top of the head the most up-to- the-minute evening colffure. A more conservative mode for daytime wear showed the curls drawn further down to give a softer line under the hat.
