SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1 1922
BY MARIAN HALE."
No matter how pretty the blouse, no matter how pretty the hal, the beauty's lost, all lost, if there isn't some barmonizing element.
As for instance this Idaire hat and Erpf and Garbe blouse- there's a hint of Russia about each of them, so they look as if they were made for each other!
The bat is a clever tricorn, braided in conventional design, smart of line and vastly becoming to the rather round face.
The blouse-hand dyed silk and haod made is a decorative affair, colourful in itself and touched up with a bit of Russian peasant embroidery.
The neck, instead of hooking or buttoning, ties with self colour silken ties nished with fascinat- ing little balls.

At this rate, and with an initial working capital of ten guineas. the sale of one barrel of ale per week would result in a year's turnover of £1248, and a gross profit of £702, which, after mak. ing liberal deductions for all necessary expenses, would still leave a very high net proât.
