THE CHINA MAIL, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1961,

WEEK-END WOMANSENSE

Is there a tall, dark stranger

in your life?

WHAT sort of a woman are you? Think first of the people

you are not. You're not the sort of woman who peers out between the muslin curtains at the neighbours, are you? Nor the sort who is rude to waiters and who doesn't believe in education for women?

Nor the sort who goes to fortune tellers? But wait.

I have gone too far. Because is there really any such

thing as a woman who doesn't long to have her future unravelled for her?

You may вду you hove never larked around with clairvoyants and all that Nansense; that you wouldn't dream of handing over got! money to a man who knew what was going on among the stars at the precise moment you were born,

REAL FLOWERS? MAKE MINE METAL

EVERY TIME

Do you shrivel up at the very thought of imitation flowers and plunge out into the rain to come back with three primroses and a branch of elder? Or do you like them? Want them? Have them? If so, there's something new coming your way.

I have been talking to an expert in the artificial and dead-flower world, Joan Hyde Capes. She works in a tiny shop in Knightsbridge.

"Dried and plastic flowers which were all the rage a few years ago are pretty well out now," she says. "Instead, this autumn, I think arrangements done in metal Don't droop in flowers will replace them. They are much more practical, anyhow. the central heating. More formal too. Less tatty. I want to adapt eighteenth- century flower decorations-they can be done in beautiful golds and dull bronzes with huge aprays of brown leaves.. Or painted to tone in with any room. In America, this metal flower iden is a huge success. I think it will be here too."
