The climax of the picture comes during a fancy dress dance on board the liner, with the Captain on the bridge, a fog over the sea, and the Captain's young lady in Roy d'Arcy's cabin.

THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

THE BETTER WAY OF LOOKING SLENDER.

́(BY JACQUELINE HOWARD, 15 THE LONDON “MORNING POST"]

"Outsizes" are being very kind- ly dealt with just now. I do not mean that there is any less reason for keeping the figure within reasonable bounds, but that people, who for one reason or another can not indulge in the drastic exercise and strict diet which are often the only sound methods of keeping slim, can choose lines which will make them look very much more slender than they are.

Another good thing about the new evening fashions is that you can wear sleeves it you want to, if your gown has no sleeves you can wear a jolly little coat (like a cardigan only much more sump- tuous in fabric) which slenderises the arms and the outline at the same time.

Some of the evening dress sleeves are long and fairly tight; and in this case one lets them ead in a First of all there is the long roll point half way up the back of the collar to the coat; there is the long hand--a line whose fascination was V line of the cardigan which realised as far back as the Middle fastens somewhere near the naturalAges and probably before. waist; and there is the long Voc
