SILVERY GOWNS FOR

JUBILEE COURTS

Loveliest Materials Made On Simplest Lines

Jubilee Courts are as Import- ant as the gown Itself:

The correct train is cut down to Valmost to the waist at the back; the correct way of wearing the plume of three ostrich feathers, the centre one taller than the others, is slightly on the left side of the head with the 45-inch veil attached to

the base. Gloves must be worn. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Debutantes are asking for silvery gowns in which to be presented in Jubilee year. Reville Limited have designed a special model in snow- white and Jubilee silver.

It is hand embroidered · in dfa- mante in an English rose design and the train of ruched net is lined with chiffon.

For older women there are lovely dresses In rich soft brocades en- riched with embroidery. Soft satius Are the background for gold or silver and crystal embroidery in gowns made

reduced because of some irregular- ity in the weave that will not even affect its life at all. But beware of the poor grade bath towel in which the loop pile threads can quite easily be pulled out-which spells short life for the towel. In a good grade towel the loop pile threads are bound firmly into the skeleton" or background of the towel. It is useful to remember of that as a rule that more closely woven the "akeleton" the better the towel. So always examine the bor- dera, where the weave can be seen, before purchasing bath towels. Hemmed towels usually wear batter than fringed ones, as the hems stand the wear and tear of the wash tub better.pw Rangk

HOME TREATMENTS

FOR WRINKLES

Plasters AndTM Serum

WO home treatments have been perfected by a beauty special-

ist with the object of softening the skin and removing wrinkles. One consists of plasters which draw out impurities from the clos ed porcs, and draw together again the slack and dilated pores, while levelling up and unifying the skin. Eight shapes of plaster-each-of- which can be used three times, are made for the wrinkle lines in

the face,miser

For instance, the "misory" lines from mouth to chin have a plaster to be placed at the corners of the mouth. Frown line plasters in the [form of a triangle with rounded corners should be placed over the nose between the eyebrows, and cut in the shape of a semi-star; there is a plaster for crow's fest lines at the outer end of the eyes.

These plasters can either be kept on for an hour or for the whole night for the first few times that they are applied. After that less drastic, treatment is necessary... The modern corset is a lovely Although the other home treat- thing; we might almost say a lyri-ment is called a serum, it is not in cal one, if its délicate workmanship jected, but simply painted on the and exquisite colours were not taken face when the latter is perfectly so much for granted nowadays.dry.
