TEN RESOLUTIONS
FOR BEAUTY
By CLAUDIA
New Year resolutions are apt, alas, to be showy' rather than durable... they catch the interest for a while but fade away all too quickly. About our beauty resolutions, however, we must be really serious. Who has not said to herself, ot some time or another, "These wrinkles around the eyes! I must start using a good nourishing cream every night," or "Hair just gets dryer and lanker! I simply must begin this daily brushing business; everyone says it's the only thing". or gives herself some similar reminder,

New Fashions For Old
By JOAN WHITE
The fundamental lines for the coming season are decided now and there is nothing you or I can do about it but thoughtfully turn out our clothes closet to look over last year's favourites and see what can be done to bring them right up to dato.
The severe good taste of London's designers has been mcdified a bit this season. The good taste re- mains; it is the severity which has gone with the austere times which caused it. In other words the designers have really let themselves go and thoroughly enjoyed lavish trimmings, richness of velvet and satin, and, particularly for even- ing wear, wonderful glowing colour contrasts.
the So if
lines of your favourite dress are not ton demole, you can easily give it sharp flavour of Hartnell or Worth by the judicious ap- plication of new trimmings.
