Novel Pensant Furniture Touches,
European peasants send us gay furniture that' colours up the house like spring flowers: left, decorative Italian chest of drawers with wild flowers in bright colours on a yellow painted background; (upper right) hand-carved Cromwell stool tea table or high end table and (lower) picnic newspaper and magazine rack, in gaudy red and white stripes with a bright scene depicted on its front.
Acquiring a new lamp, table, chair, rug, picture or any colourful, decorative home accessory is quite like putting on a new hat when one

FACE AND FIGURE, TREATMENTS.
"Faco masks of several kinds pro- raise to be the predominating Zon- ture, of the beauty treatments women will take," said a well- known Bond-street beauty specl- alist.
"Physical exercises, too, for alimming or developing cortain parts of tho figuro will again play an important part in beauty, cul- ture.
"We expect to give large num- bora of our now speciality, the youth maak. For this face-treat- mant a plaster cast is made of the face, and a special type of electric treatement is applied. The treat- ments are given 30 times, three per week being the average number. Muscle strapping treatments pro- mise to be as frequent as ever." !! Make-up More Discreet. "We anticipato a big demand for compact powder rouges again this year," said a manageress of the London office of a well-known Paris firm of cosmetic makers, "because
our anles for this type of rouge in 1927 increased 60 per cent, on those of 1923.
"We find women appear to pro- for this typo 'to the grease or liquid varieties. The habit of making up the eyes is increasing and we are keeping large stocks of our 15 kinds of eyebrow pencils. Although many more women now use make up, I think it will in the coming year be more subtle and less ap parent. For instance, we do not sell so many scarlet lipsticks; the preference is, we find, for a more natural tint."
Perfumes from Spring Flowers. Another firm stresses the con tinued popularity of "blended" per- fumes. A new perfume for 1928 is made from a blend of all the flowers that bloom in carly spring. "The matching vogue will continue to be popular,” said another beauty specialist. "We, shall still stock soap, perfume, face powder, and hair lotion all 'to match.""

Those who liko pletures have their tastes wall catered for at the Queen's Theatre at present, for Lon Chaney is to be seen in a characteristic role in "The Unknown." He is the villain in a cireus romance and drama, in which he appears as "Alonzo the Armless." In point of fact, he has arms, which are very cleverly hidden, until the drama- tic point of the story is reached, when. for love of a girl, he has them amputated, but all to no pur- pose. As may be expected, there ls plenty of intrigue in the story, with a strong love interest, In which beautiful Joan Crawford is Lon seen to much advantage. Chaney la, of course, admirably cast for the grim part which be plays, and is responsible for some. powerful acting. The story, how penfu ever, is rather too depressing to pur “mze voyezq *.
