I know that's the hardest advice I could give. That time of your life you'd always thought would be a heavenly, romantic dream, your en- gagement, is just one of the tough- est jobs you've ever known,
Arrangements, arrangements, ar- rangements!

"Rest, indeed!" you say.
"Look here," you say, first of all so much to do I get no there's chance to rest. -
"Secondly, I get into such a state of nerves, with fatigue and strain, that I don't feel like resting. I'm too strung up to rest."
Well, that's exactly what I mean, This is the most my poor sweet! important time in your life, and you let yourself be swept into giving your whole time to letters and shop- ping.

Cut down parties and late hours. You've got to look beautiful that wedding.
And save the three last days-or at the very least two-just for beauty routine and keeping quiet. Or how will you get rid of the worn anxious lines? How compose your mind and find peace in your heart?

Now here are some very practi- cal beauty tips.
Get your permanent wave, two weeks before the wedding. It needs two preliminary settings to look its best.
Have your face treatment and a good mask a couple of days early, too.
Next night, do no more than cleanse it thoroughly.
Night after, work your pet skin food firmly and gently in while you lie propped up in bed.
Leave it on while your hands, too, get a massage. They ought to look pretty good the first time you wear that ring. Then take off the skin food.
Next morning you'll have time to do your nails and after your bath.
Have your bath reasonably early so that you won't look flushed have relaxed pores.
or
Put in bath salts or essence to make the water soft and fragrant and rub down after with bath colo- gne.
A gentle make-up I think! Remember it's daylight you're to face, so an evening party make- up won't be becoming.
If you're wearing a creamy wed- ding dress, use creamy powder. If a very white one, a pinky powder will give warmth to your skin.

Coloured wedding dresses getting fashionable, but they are always soft in tone, they all demand a fragile make-up with not too much rouge. Mind that your lips tone.

The slip and the nightgown are made from the same pattern.
To make the most of its lovely moulded brassiere top, make the slip in washing satin to match your wedding dress exactly.
A tiny rolled or bound edge is the best trimming with, perhaps, a pair of true lovers' knots embroi- dered in fine silk.

N.B.-If the groom dislikes public repairs of make-up-re-powdering, renewing lipstick-don't do it.
Wear his choice in nail polish colour. His re-education in accep- tance of his wife's beauty ways is best done gradually imperceptibly. Don't hurry it.

The bride is responsible for the choice of the bridesmaids' flowers. So-it's up to you to have them charming and correctly harmoni-
ous.

Use · a non-greasy foundation cream. Be fragrant with a touch of flower perfume. If possible, get it to match your bouquet,
like a second skin.
The nightgown has the sleek out- lines of the slip plus the glamour of lace. Ivory satin with dark coffee-coloured lace would be lovely.
Panels of lace let into the seams give the skirt its flowing lines.
The miniature bolero is made of the satin, and narrowly bound with cross strips of its own material.
The step-in gives you the perfect. one-piece. The knicker legs have more width than the trunks, and a special feature is the gusset tab set a few inches higher than is usual on this type of garment.
This simple trick gives you a far better looking step-in and much more comfort.
Satin is, perhaps, the best ma- terial of all for a bridal set of lin- gerie, but crepe suzette, triple ninon, fine crepe-de-Chine and heavy geor- gette are other lovely materials which would be suitable.
