FASHION.

Judging from the weather now we shall soon be in need of the aweaters which promise to be "all the fashion in the coming season. Most of the sweaters are cut on similar lines but there are all manner of designs and colour-schemes to introduce the needed variety. The length of the sweaters varies considerably and one sees very long ones and also short ones resembling in eat and style the bolero jacket.

Youth need not worry because the youth: ful body finds a lovely expression in a sweater. It is, different for the more mature âgure and for those who have been. used to wear the old-fashioned corsets. One ought to try to find a well-fitting girdle or a corset and the task should not be difficult these days.

The elbow that is toc bony is not only conspicanus but also reveals a woman's age. If the elbows are rough and sealy soak them every night for a week in hot leathery water and afterwards apply pads of lint soaked in almond oil. These pads should be tied "securely in one place and kept on all night.
