TAM a married man, and in my opinion the five following things are essential for a happy. married life:--
1. Cultivate a thick skin, be- cause you will have a lot said to you that you don't like hearing. AND. 2. You will certainly need a
sense of humour.
LOVING THOUGHTS.

5. Have a small family, if possible.
Bake in a moderate tem- perature until firm. Decorate sible. with kind words and loving thoughts. Serve any time.

UMOUR, tolerance, comradeship, love,.
Hloyalty. I think the above five rules are
the best for a happy marriage.
Without a sense of humour life is hardly worth living. Unless each is tolerant towards the other littlenesses of life loom unsurmountable.
If a couple have not a happy comradeship in all things it is diflicult to steer clear of petty jenl- ousles.
SHOULD say
that the five rules that could make a marriage happy would
be:-

THE SEASON'S DRESSES
Emphasises Line
Of Diaphragm.. MOST dresses this season give good diaphragm line.
Soft woollens in dark, high, defined bust lines help mellow colours, made with the fashionable effect.
One smart new example is cut from.striped frog-green- and-holly-red wool, the colours being mixed in a broken stripe design,
The stripes are used on the reverse way from the. fitting section from bips to the bust, and they go in the same vertical line on the deep hem of the skirt.
Tipped With White ANGORA materials are attractive as frocks, made on fitting lines, with narrow bindings of a light, smooth material, at all the hems.

A bolero dress which would be very easy for chilly days is made from black angora cloth. Here the edges show a while line. At least, this time the white is not sewn el-an-inch me edges, but a quarter-

The Judicious use of coloured
edgings increases the interest in the line of the frock, and on skirts the bindings are sometimes continued down the side seams from the waist to the het.
