"IT'S no use pretending,” a
reader writes, "but I'm frankly outsize. I've got nice hair and a good complexion. Now can you help me with a winter outfit that will slim me down a bit and yet be comfortable 7"
"Of course I can," I replied. “It · is the problem of half the women in the world after they have reached their fortieth birthday. What you want is a nice well cut coat in a deep colour-not neces- Barily black, but specially design- ed to give you height and. to bring your figure into a good balanced line.
A soft collar or fur also helps the shoulders and upper part."
You see by the sketches what I recommend. The coat is made in good quality fancy velour cloth with a straight looking back and a good wrap-over in front.
It is lined throughout with artificial silk and the aleeves have nice shaping at the cuff. Dark Brown Fur

The collar of shunk opossum (you know the fur, it is very like shunk-a nice dark brown shade) can be worn open wrapped over close to the throat to form a becoming frame for the face. Very cosy and fashion- able as well.
The colours are higger, navy, bottle, wine and black. Wine is very fashionable this year. It suits grey
and dark-haired
women excellently. Brown an green suit fair and dark women, but are a little cold with grey hair. I find navy and black are becoming to all.
To wear under this cont I select a frock also in a soft all-wool material which has a good deal of clever shaping to give freedom and a long unbroken line.
There is some shirring on the shoulders which gives ample room over the vest, and an inverted pleat down the whole length of the front. The bodice is out with a deep scalloped V, with a neat vestec in a pale contrasting colour.

February 9 Sparkling Eyes
TAYES need extra care at this sea-
E on orbita winds, and smoky
atmospheres, but it is not difficult to keep them sparkling if you go about it in the right way--and what wo man needs to be told that her eyes ure the most important feature of her face?
ས
First of all, resolve never to over- strain your eyes. That really is Im portant. It is always surprising that such a large number of people read in vibrating buses and trams one of the surest ways of nequiring eye- strain. And as that, in addition to its obvious discomfort, means crow's feet and frown lines. It really never is worth while.
Close needlework is another men- ace to the sight, while those who spend. all day over Bgures or at a typewriter don't need to be reminded how their eyes feel at the end of it. Rest your eyes after any close work. You can do this by lying for n while with your eyes closed and an eye-lotion compress over them. or you can focus them for a while on long-distance objeels. This focuss ing on dialant objects strengthens the muscles and takes your vision from short to long range, for which, by tha way, it was fral intended.
If you are in a hurry to go out in the evening, you may feel inclined to just make up your eyes and leave it at that however tited they may bc. But you always suffer for it. Half-way through the evening you are blinkling painfully, and your eyes Kot that red-rimmed look which quickly spells your whole appear-
ance.
Be strong-minded and give your- self ten minutes for eye-treatment; even if it makes you a bit late for an appointment, it is well worth it. Have a bottle of eye-lotion and an eye-bath always at hand, and first buthe your eyes thoroughly, using fresh lotion for each eye, and keep- int your head creet.

Is Your Kitchen Efficient?
PSYCHOLOGICAL expert tells
us that kitchens are too fre- quently centres of annoyance, fall- gue, and danger. Most housewives will agree when they think of the number of times a day they are ex- asperated by awkwardly-arranged cookers, cupboards, tables, and the general lack of facilities.
We cannot all have ultra-modern kitchens, but it not a very dif- Neult task to bring any kitchen up- Lo-date for the New Year.
