PARIS POINTERS: CHIC ON A SHOESTRING

By Iris Ashley

The French couture is said to lead the world in fashion, But when we say thatTMdmart Frenchwomen have the greatest chic in the world it is not meant to infer that they are always dressed by the famous counturieres,

Naturally they follow the ideas of the great designers, and, being on the spot, have more chance to see the originals, but few can afford the price of a Dior model.

Colour is important in decorating

Colour in your home plays a port in your life and the life of your family,

says Nora S. McDougall, in her book, "Make Your House o Home." Colour, she says, can make a room seem wormer
