A SIMPLE FROCK,
A Linen Tunie Over A Contrasting Skirt.
For the woman who likes some.. thing very simple there is-the-linen- tunle over a contrasting skirt-a straight, well-tailored skirt, not a pleated one, please. The latter can be in linen, fine woollen, or, if you want to be out of the ordinary, taffeta. This type of tunic, of coursa, does not allow you to play about with sleeves, but you can turn up your straight ones over the elbow. like a washerwoman and look ex- tremely smart, with suede gloves below.
PICTURES ON DAMP WALL
If you want to hang mirrors or pictures on wails which you sus- pect to be damp, protect them with small discs of cork glued to the two bottom corners of the frame. These will keep the pictures from touching the wall and so prevent damage.
