Modes of dress must naturally conform to these social changes. So don't wear an elaborate even- ing dress except on very special eccasions. Choose a simple gown for dinner or afternoon parties. If the invitation specially indi- cates "Not evening dress," wear a smart afternoon frock or plain "semi-evening dress with sleeves.

HERE come The Twins at last, unpunctual and charming as ever. Too late to offer them tea, of course, with the hands of the cabin chronometer standing at. an uncompromising six-üfteen, And so the visit will develop once again into an informal .cocktail party as The Twins have quite possibly foreseen.

Luckily there is still a shot or two of gin in the cabin locker, and a tall bottle of Rose's Lime Juice in a cunningly constructed

rack. The Twins are quite firm about this gin and lime, They know it helps to keep those slender graceful figure lines which appeal to yachtsmen like some shapely beauty from the yard of a master-bullder.
