MONKEY FUR IN NEW ROLE.

Monkey fur has been revived and is being used a great deal in both black and white by many of the leading houses.

A woman's dread of middle age ean nearly always be interpreted as a dread of wrinkles. She can com pete with her younger sisters just as long as her face and figure will allow, and she recents middle, age only because its lines and wrinkle disqualify her as a competitor and force her from the ranks of the on coate and jackets, bands on the edge of capes and cope sleeves of still young.

The first movement, which helps to preserve the youthful contour of your face should begin' at the con- tre of the chin. Place the tips of the first and second fingers of each) hand so that they meet at this point, and then message gently up- wards and outwards, following the line of your face. Use only the tips of the fingers and remember here especially the importance of a cir- cular action.

If you want to remove the ugly| lines that form at the corners of the mouth, massage with the palms of your hands, following again an upward and circulor movement. Place the hands quite flet at each side of the mouth and take them slowly and firmly right up to the cheek bones. When this in done, tap the cheeks sharply with the tips] of the fingers. Do the massage movement several times until you are pleasantly conscious of blood xtimulation, but do it gently and slowly.

"Hozlow" Eyes

The vertical frown line that does so much to spoil the forehead should be rubbed firmly with the tips of

the fingers. Work across it, smooth-| ing out the skin as gently as pos- sible. Again your movement should be upward and circular.

The lines under your eyes should be treated with special care because the skin here is particularly apt to streich. Place the tips of your first and second fingers of each hand-on the temple and then bring the second fingers down under the eyes, drawing them very lightly from the inner corners to the outer corners and up. to the temples again.

When you have finished massag-| ing, wipe your face with a cleno towel to remove cream, and then wash in warm water to'which some astringent has been added. Toilet eau-de-Cologne, toilet vinegar. and benzoin are three good astringents which may be used frequently with lout damage to the side.

Stabilised Dress Lengths

Waistline Decree From Paris.

FLUCTUATIONS ENDED

Parls.

Quietly, without lengthy discus- |xions or conferences, the "stabilisa- tion" of present-day feminine fashions seems to have been.ac- complished.

The process has been so gradual and so unheralded that one has scarcely realised that it was tak ing place; and now, all of a sud den,-one wakes up to the fact that la' real stabilisation has been ea-

tablished.

Take skirt lengths, for example, how they have fluctuated during the last fow seasons! One season they were lowered a bit and the next raised a few inches,

Now, however, we find them firm ly stabilized by Paris designers on' what seems the most comfortable Land sensible basis, namely-12 inches from the ground for sports, 10 inches for street suits, ankle- length for dressy afternoon frocks and just clearing the floor for even- ing gowns.

The waistline, too, has had its ups and downs, varying from a position at the hip bone to OPA

uhove its normal position, in thei fashion of the Empire period. Sta- bilization has finally come to thia also and placed it firmly just a wea it below its natural possition-- just low enough to prevent a “dum-, F3" appearance for figures which are not quite an slim as they used, to be.

The fullness of the skirt · has been "Stabilized?. well: below, the knes-and-anve in bouffant: frocks of the thinner materials-it- flares! but slightly.

Long coats no longer flare, but are bullt, one and all, on stabilized | lines, straight' add slim. Evening bodices are plain and severe in cut and promise to remain so for the winter season. And no one might continue to enumerate,

The amazing part of it all is that, tot-withstanding all this stabilisa- tion, the result is not monótonbus. This, of course, la đụs to the gen- fun of the French désigners, who, though building on the same stabi- laod ideas, achieve a variety of de- tail and design which gives to each model an individuality of its own.

FEATHER FAD FOR WINTER Important Accessories.

Feather boss and fenther trim- mings for both costs and frocks which were launched a year ago, have evidently taken the popular tancy and may be considered as important winter accessories.

Little feather muffs, matching the boss, were carried by several women at the racer,
