The play-suit of crisp plaid dancer's gingham, cut like a practice garment or a toddler's rompers, is essential for the mod- ern woman's morning limbering up exercises.

Then we come to that most comfortable and glamorous gar- ment, the teagown. You might ask, when is a dressing gown not a dressing gown? The answer is, when it has a train-because then. It is a tagown. The slightest wisp of a train gives the degree of dignity and elegance which makes the gown suitable for wear as hostess gown at cocktail time, or for dinner at home. I know at least one woman who entertains.a great deal and who never buys an evening gown. She is of the tea- gown type and simply has made for her a succession of "super" teagowns which she wears, with, distinct

CULTIVATING ARTIST'S
IDEAL OF BEAUTY
Make-Up To Blend With Modern Dressing
Beauty has always been one of the chief attributes of women, but surely there has been no per- fod like the present in which sa much money has been spent on its cultivation. Yet with all the thought and pursuit of beauty. most women need to spend re- markably Liti: time in attaining that soignee appearance which is deemed so, essential to-day.
This is probably because beauty culture has become a matter of orderly routine in the life of most women. Modern beauty is а "quick-time" process. A few min- utes devoted to health exercises each day, make the figure more supple. There are special beauty creams which speed up the good results of a facial and throat massage. Even a home beauty mask treatment can be achieved, in less than a quarter of an hour. As for make up, the more deftly and rapidly it is applied, the more .- successful and artistle the result
will be.
SHADES OF THE PALETTE
One reason why women can make up so quickly nowadays 18 the great variety of artistic col- our tones and tints in which all make-up is prepared. Rouge and ilpstick are shown in many gra- dations of colour from the palest wld rose to the deeper geranium' tints, embodying all the comple- xion hues which are used by the artist in building up the flesh tones in a portrait.
The use of protective creams which are a so i powder founda- flon is one of the beauty secrets of the finished appearance of many women. These creams have skin nourishing, qualities, too, and can be bought in a series of different tints to suit fair or tan- ned tones of colouring in comple-
xions and powders. A new beauty Bim, with its accompanying pow- der, is made in fascinating skin солев.

Colffures, too, demand special attention, for the lovellest face in the world
can be marred by a framing of "undressed" hair. Some of the new coiffures are not too Easy, but having decided to adopt 2. style, however dificult, the wearer insists that it shall be im maculate; and with the ald of setting lotions keeps it so.
From the point of view of the artists, whose misalon in life it is to study beauty in every aspect, women in symmetry of figure and beauty of feature have never ap- peared so lovely as they are to- day. This is a triumph for the beauty specialists, and one of the chief reasons the prevailing ideal of the purely natural type of good looks rather than the exotic in all matters of make-up, Beauty experts are excelling in their newest productions as each season comes,
Colours in reuge and lipstick are "alive," yet more subtle. Pow- der tints are more carefully toned. Textures are finer, I:ss obtrusive. Eye cosmetics are graded in tone with the feature, scheme of cal- "ouring. There are special eyelash cosmetics for shades of brown, Bu grey and violet eyes..
REED NOT CLASH
Aesthetic care is used in actual making-up. No woman nowadays need be seen wearing an unbe coming frock which clashes in colour with her own individual colouring. She may wear any colour she chooses, and merely changes her make-up slightly to "go" with her frock. The change. may be of the most subtle des- cription, a little different shade of rouge, powder and lipstick, but the effect is magical and bestows on the whole ensemble just that keynote of harmony in tone and colouring that shou'd satisfy on artist's conception of beauty.
Every woman to-day feels it incumbent on her to appear at her best. To this end she diets and expends a definite amount of time and usually a large amount of money. Natural beauty can be enhanced, figures reduced to Ven- us-like proportions with the help of reducing baths and exercises. or modelled" to becoming curves by massage and skin foods. There are youth-giving face mask treat- ments.
Every phase of modern beauty culture has its own group of ape- clal'sts, whose whole duty in their business life is to make the mod- ern woman more fascinating than ever.
