Striped Materials Ideal For Beach Wear.

The colours and materials chosen for our clothes make just such a difference to our appearance too. A light material, delicately. patterned, is nearly always young looking; aj dark material slightly heavler in hang is always amart. In the sum- mer it is so much easier to dress to our choice. If light colours are pre- ferred, they can be had in abund- unce, in good quality materials that are charming to look at and easy to wash. Flower-printed fabrics, stripes and geometric patterns seem Ito share the honours of popularity

very evenly at the moment.

Striped materials are rather for mal- they are businesslike, they fit into a practical mood, they are right for the office or for the sporta ground, they are ideal on the beach jand are at home oven on the dance

floor.

When making new covers for deck chairs it is frequently found diff- cult to sew, as the needle is hard to push through the canvas. It is a good plan to rub a bar of coarse household soap over the parts the needle has to penetrate, and it will be found that the needle will pass through the material far more easily than usual.

All coarea materials such as can. vas should be treated in the same
