Baths made to Measure
by
AUDREY WRANGHAM
IF you are planning a new bath room or installing a new built-in-bath in your home, now is the moment to have the bath tailored to fit you.
Just as you order a coat and skirt, choose material and colour and arrange Altings, so you can now, in Bond-street bath expert's salon, have your bath made to the length and breadth you prefer.

A LOVELY idea for a modern room is to have the mantelpiece entirely
devoted to flowers.
Run an aluminium trough all along it, build it in with wood and paint it over. The flowers look just as though they are growing out of the mantelpiece, and their beauty is doubled if there is a built-in mirror behind them,

THE heat wave brought fans into vogue by day, and women were scen carrying them in the restaurania.
Following the "matchmaking" fashion, some of the newest evening handbags are accom- panied by ittile fans of the same material.:
A good choice with a simple summer evening gown ** ปี handbag in pale blue satin, painted with an eighteenth- century design of flowers, en- clared in a curly gilt frame. The little fan that goes, with it kaa mother-o'-pearl sticks.
Silver brocade evening hand- bags with silvery clasps are completed by brocade fans with plain white sticks and are more modern looking than the dainty inother-of-peart reminders of the eighteenth century mode.
