BLOUSES TO NOTE,

LADY MAY'S WEDDING.

'

The wedding cake for the mar riage of Lady May Cambridge, the Queen's niece, which took place at Balcombe, Sussex, was ordered from the Cheater firm who mad the wod- ding cake for her part tho Earl of Athlone and rincess [Alice; Countess of Athlone. The cako was in three tiers on a broad allver stand. Each tier was sup- ported by little columns, and there were tiny figures of hunting mon and womenan appropriate em- blem of the love of horses which Lady May shares with her hus- band Captain Henry Abal Smith, There were also tiny figures of

Both aho and Captain Abel Smith ontor- ed the church by the narrowest) entrance, which leads straight to the altar, although the usual cus- tom is for wedding parties to en ter by the larger entrance, on the south side. "There is a local superstition that it is unlucky for wedding parties to use the weat entrance, a church official said.

SIMPLE BEAUTY HINTS.

In the back. Do this least fifty times night and morning. Alao throw the shoulders back squarely and spend fifteen minutes before an open window or, better still, out of doors, practising deep breathing. Another simple exor- cise is to draw the arma behind you, bend them at the elbows and thrust a cane between the elbows and back.

Many readers write asking if there is any simple exercise for developing the calf. Walking up- hill is the best exercise we know of for developing the calf of the leg. Going up and down stairs la the next best thing, but it is much better to exercise in the open air whenever possible. Try rising on your toes and dropping back to a level foot position, keeping this up for ten or fifteen minutes a time. Massaging your ankles and calves with olive oil every night before retiring is also helpful.

CHESTNUTS OR CHAINS.

You may decide, as a fashionable woman did recently, to wear cheat- nuts, varnished and, threaded on yellow allk, in an attempt to gain originality in necklaces.

But the usual way in which feminine seekers after smartness express their originality in this im- portant necklace question, is by wearing a chain-one not too long, but capable of being knotted. Perhaps the knot comes at the front, or on the shoulder. If the gold chain is allied to a coloured one, then very large-sized, knota join them together, at ofther side and in front as well..

PYJAMAS

It is not the expensive pyjamas which are the most attractive, Elegant styles are now seen in ar- tfficial silk voiles, linens and cot- ton repps. At a parade of pretty, (though quite inexpensive fashions, a mannequin wore pyjamas of plain and patternèd artificial silk, soft rose colour being the dominant shade.

JEL

The trousers with their super- wide legs were of the plain rose silk, fitted to a pointed waist- band, and at the hem was a bind-

ing of the figured material. There was a blouse of the patterned silk with V-neck rouleau-trimmed and with ends to tle. Needless to say, the blouse was made without sleeves.

A FURNISHING WHIM,

Green is an important colour in the furnishing of many new houses, cspecially the brighter hues which are seen in rooms whose colling ard walls are, cream.

In one room there were alde cur- tains of green velvet, and the arm chairs, and a pouffe were all velvet- covered. Large green jars held flowers, and the table runner was green; à collection of silk panels on the wall were mostly green too. Dark greens are considered dowdy, Thia vogue is for that sharp tint which is sometimes called apple green. Even the outside of newly. decorated houses show green door Land window-frames and much..

cream paint.

TRIMMING THE ANKLE.

The finest silk stockings for the evening are quite elaborately de- signed, in spite of the fact that they show so little under the long |frocks. A line of open work around the ankle is seen on beige stockings, and there are gossamer black silks with a lace inset over the Instep. Fine gun-métal- coloured stockings ara kmitted in a Ash-net design, and the same open- work pattern in a heavier silk is popular for outdoor wear.
