When one is placed over the other, the effect is a lovely changeable colour, and this is the way Susan uses them as an apron, gathered under the belt of an otherwise plain dinner gown. As an ac- cent on a white linen suit, the ends of the handkerchiefs are knot- ted together, one is draped about the neck дя a scarf, and the other left free to hang

the shoulder. Twisted into two separate rolls, the hand- kerchiefs are wrapped about the head like a turban and fastened with a diamond pin.
