and Skirt Contrasts
LOOKING back at the Paris Collec-
tions from this distance of time enables us to see the new modes in their true perspective. One of the fashion high spots that shine up most distinctly and most persistently is the contrast- colour jacket and skirt vogue. This is a convenient and practical idea which imaginative women will be quick to appreciate and adopt, for with a little ingenious planning two suits and a frock can be arranged to look like several. Result: effect of that variety which most women seek but compara- tively few can afford.

He employs this same colour scheme for the town suit on the right-the jacket of whip- cord edged black braid; the skirt, black faced cloth; the blouse, softest shiny black satin.

If your dental plate is as flesh-pink and the teeth as clean and natural-looking as when your dentist first fitted them then you DON'T need 'Steradent. If they are dis- coloured, stained and unnatural-looking, you DO. For the rake of health, dentures should be free from germ-breeding stains. For the sake of your appearance they should be clean and natural-looking.
10,000 Dentists Recommand 'Staradent' The sole purpose of "Sterndent' is to clean and purify dentures-and it does the job as nothing else has ever done before. Over 10,000 dentists recommend it as the finest preparation of its kind ever produced. Simply put your plates in a glass of warm water with a little Steradent powder and stir well. You don't need to brush them. Stains vanish. Even the blackest tobacco stains disappear after a few treatments. Bvery trace of film is gone. Your dentures are once more flesh-pink with clean, natural- looking teeth. They are sweet-smelling and pleasant-tarting; they feel silky-smooth, cool and comfortable, Steradent' will do all and more than you promise” writer a grateful wier. And a leading Dentist says, *** Sterodent' is the best denture cleaner and stain remover I have ever tried."
