The duties of a 'bridesmaid, even the chief bridesmaid, are simple. The principal eourse, is to look as pretty as pos- sible, and form an attractive back- ground for that important person- the bridet But there are one or two other things which it is as well to know about beforehand.

The question of frocks is a big one. The final cholce, of course, really rests with the bride, but as a matter of fact bride and brides- maids generally discuss the matter together, and decide, what will be the prettiest and most suitable frock and colour scheme,

On the day of the wedding, be at the church in good time. All the bridesmaids should be waiting in the porch when the bride arrives, ready to fall into place behind her as she goes up the aisle on her father's arm. You don't need re minding, do you, that there should be no loud chattering and laughing in the porch during this waiting Interval, howover thrilled and ex- cited you all feel!

It is arranged beforehand, natur- ally, in which order the bridesmaids are to follow, when there are several of them. The chief bridesmaid al- ways walks first. A bridesmaid should always look straight ahead as she goes up the aisle.

-The chief bridesmaid takes her place just behind the bride, standing slightly to the left. She takes the bride's bouquet and her glovea be- fore the ceremony begins, and holds them for her all through the service, giving them back to her in the vestry when the wedding party go In to sign the register.

Find out beforehand whether the bridesmaids are to follow to the vestry after the ceremony or not. Generally the chief bridesmaid does, with the best man, but there may not be room for the whole party. If there isn't, the others should re- main in the church, ready to follow the bride and her husband down the alske after the register la signed.

TAKING THE DOG.

Some people never take their dogs Bway on holiday. But those who would like to, and find the sleeping accommodation for the dog is rather afroblem, can now buy a baskot which is circular, and quite roomy when opened, but collapses com- pactly. When this is folded up, It fits into a case, no bigger than a musle case, and is quite easily packed with the rest of the luggage.

PERFUMED.

The familiar practice of placing lavender among one's fingerie, is a more delightful way of gaining that desirable odour of freshness than sprinkling the clothes with perfume. A girl who brings this perfumery question to a fine art, now takes the frouble to air her hats every night This is how she does it The linings are pulled but, and sprayed lightly. with eau de cologne, her favourite scent. She is entirely delighted, with the results.

As thei colours in the chiffon gleam black, orange and yellow-mostly yellow the white fur is a good contrast. A short velvet wrap, half cape and half coat, has been printed with the same colours, and a similar design.

do."

And if the tiny voice was encour. aged to go an it would say, "What about that bundle of stockings that want darning, and those letters: which you should have answered long ago?" and so on through the list of edd jobs, mostly rather un- pleasant ones, which nearly all of us have to do for ourselves.

There are very few of us who can truthfully say we've nothing to do. Because we've all got something We really like to do it. Tiresome

little jobs mostly which accumulate | and which should be attended to at once, but which we put off and salve our conscience by saying, "I'll do this when. I've time."

Very often they are such trfing things that they could be performed in a few minutes without any trouble,

All that is required is the incen- tive to do them, and the strength of mind to keep to the job until it is accomplished.

There are just certain things which we all delight in putting-off until the last minute: answering lettera is one, sewing buttons on is another, mending which cannot be counted as interesting sewing is yet another (repairing shoulder straps and bothersome little jobs like that). Taking shoes be repaired is yet another little duty which many people leave until a wet day comes along, and demonstrates the folly of such an omission, and there are

Personally, I prefer to keep a number of such duties until one cecsalon and then have a grand clean sweep of the lot, and after- wards indulge in an orgy of self- eatisfaction. It is certainly a de- lightful feeling to be able truthfully to say, "I've nothing to do," and really it is not until one can say this that one is justified in looking round for amusement.
