Check up on your
New Suitings
CHECKS, which came in with
a rush at the beginning of the season, show every sign of carrying us right through the summer and beyond.
Beach dresses In particular are made more trim and tailored by the elever use of formal checks. After- noon frocks are made presentable for country and town in the same rather cunning way.
MAIN theme is, I suppose,
economy. Because there's
no doubt about it that checke are much more ecomonical than rather light posies, garlands, or all the other whimsicalities we like to inclulge in. These are the things we have to "live up to," while checks. whether in gingham or washing silk, can be worn and washed to the last thread and still look smari. Not
only that, but they don't require our bent coiffure, or our most storiling muke-up.

REST for BEAUTY
REST is the best of all beauty aids,
yet it is often neglected, probably because it is such simple treatment and costs nothing.

Early to Bed
Every woman should try to be in bed by eleven nt the latest. One bour's sleep before midnight is worth two after, and is one of the best of all beauty aids.
The slightest tendency to insomnia should be warded off at once before It has me to develop into a habit. A heavy meal late at night is a fre- quent cause of sleeplessness, so is un ill-ventilated room, an uncomforatble bed, or being too hot or too cold, but the most important thing of all is to compose the mind.
Countless women sleep badly be- cause they take their domestic or business worries to bed with them, and these always appear far worse during the dark hours of the night than they actually are.
