Once this fashion principle is established then the couturier, working with his clients, makes the changes and adjustments which give the personal equasion, emphasising the individuality of each client.

Here is a method of preventing bathroom mirrors from becoming fogged with steam.

See that the glass is dry and slightly warm, then polish it with a little glycerine sprinkled on a piece of silk.

Rub it until the glycerine cannol be seen, but is not altogether rub- bed off.

Delicate china should be washed

To loosen, glass stopper, rub a little oil round it and place near
