Standing
STANDING up straight makes the best of your clothes and of you. The minute you begin to slouch or to stand with your weight on one leg you get a dlack, uncaring appearance. Thing to do is to stand straight, but not stiff. It's harder than it looks..
Standing properly in caster if you walk right. Now every one has been walking all her life, but very few walk well. Come rules of balance apply as in standing. The weight should be carried on hip bones and back of spine.

Knitting Tip
"My husband complained that his cable-stitch pull- over was too short to tuck into his flannel trousera,
1 was able to lengthen it quite easily by taking off the welt, adding one more cable and another welt.
"This is how it's done: Undo the sides; pull, and then cut one of the side stitches. Cut the corresponding stitch on the other side, pull the thread right through, and it will leave the loops of your stitches all ready for picking up to knit on the extra pices."

NEW DESIGNS IN CLOCKS

Needless to say, the clock is heavy, and not easily knocked over.

VISIT to the chine shop is a feast of colour. Delicate pal- terns appear on non-fragile crockery us well as precious services, some showing a tracery of thin coloured lines, others a reproduction of a de- sign reflecting the Chinese influence in Georgian days two encouraged centuries ago.
But in one of the latest coffee sets there is little delicacy to for colour is concerned. It is all-black, the outsides of the cups and the poti being rough, while the inside of the cups are conveniently smooth and shiny, so that there is no grating of the spoons against the insides of the cups,

Hair High And Low
BENE is nothing new in women's fashions, even in hulr-dressing. The latest revival would seem to be a mode' borrowed from as far back 35 the eighteenth century. Hore the hair is smoothed away from the brows and taken into a long bob with the ends curling un- der, after the style worn by Joan of Arc. Bat one's features must be perfect for such a fashion.
Most women will prefer to try the pompadour line in which the hair is brushed up over the forehead be- tween two small side partings. This of most style flatters the contours faces.
