BEAUTY.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT...

Jet black hair is a lovely as it is rare, but its owner needs to pay careful attention to her skin and her frocks if she is to do the best for herself,

The very heavy eyebrows which so often accompany black hair ars unbecoming, and should be plucked

and her clothes should live up to this promise. When dark shades are worn there should always be a relieving touch in the way of a avarf, bag, or buttonhole to prevent her from seeming ordinary once more, while with the lighter tones practically all of them will suit her, into a fine line, otherwise they will. By far the vast majority of women

grey being the one exception, give too sothbre an appearance. "

Black is becoming, provid ing it is relieved by a scarf or collar, etc., of ivory beige or some gay tint. At night all vivid blues will look well except bright blue, whilst if you feel inclined you can sub stitute your morning powder and lipstick for lighter tones.

In brief remembering, both in cosmetics and clothes to select everything to emphasise the dark ness of your hair and the delicate peach hue of your complexion you will show up your colouring to its greatest effect.

Becoming Tinis, 'n

Golden hair and a milk white skin can, of course, be exquisite, but they also can be extremely insipid on- less their owner selects her frocks with care.

Nothing is more unattractive than shiny nose, aud this unfortunately is a thing from which the woman with an oily skin very frequently suffers.

Jare of the Complexion,

She can make her complexion quite normal, however, by a little care. To begin with, her face should invariably be washed in very hot water (and a little pure soap if obe can stand it), then rinsed with water equally cold to which has been added a few drops of simple tincture of benzoin. Only about two or three times a week should "cold scream be used, and then it is most advisable to do so after wash- ing the fact at bed-time. Leave the cream on for about a quarter of an hour.

Every garment should draw at tention to ber beauty of colouring and throw it into prominence. Black, dark blue give distinction ifį sparingly and artistically used.

The blonde, above all others, should see that every garment and accessory is obosen to emphasise her fragile colouring, and by this she will travel far more than half the

path to beauty.

The girl with mouse-coloured locks frequently thinks her case is a hopeless one, whereas the reverse is very much the case.

The merest touch of vanishing cream (the best possible make that can be afforded) should be used during the day after washing on the nose, corners of the mouth, and chin; this will enable the powder to cling.

Face Massage.

Dry skin easily becomes chapped and sore looking, and therefore the woman whose particular beauty problem this is should endeavour to rectify it right away.

ENO

When Food Makes No Appeal

A failing appetite is one of Nature's danger signals. It is a warning that all is not well with your digestion-that your system is not freeing itself punctually and thorough- ly of its daily waste. It is this condition which Eno's "Fruit Salt" corrects.

Eno simply flushes and effectively cleanses the whole intestinal tract and so prevents the inner sluggishness which leads to poor appetite and indigestion. That is why Eno first thing every morning will stimulate your keenness for meal times and enable you to enjoy every morsel of your food.

NURSERY SNOBS.

"What's the time, Amabt" de manded Miss Eight-and-a-halt per emptorily. Receiving her answer, the child ran off without another word. On being reproved for not saying "Thank you," she replied, "Well, amah isn't a person like antica and uncles."

"There are no such snobs as children," remarked a speaker at a recent educational conference. „And while many mothers will be quick to resent this statert, a little quiet consideration s sts that is is not only true, but inevitably so.

Childres are intensely perceptive and remorselessly logical. It in useless to assure them shat every one is as good as her neighbour, at the same time to make it very clear that frequent visits to the kitchen are undesirable.

No amount of grown-up reasoning serves to disprove the evidence of her senses that she, in some way, is the superior of those possessing fower material advantages than her- self,

School Experience,

On the other hand, a. first experi- ence of school revclutionises the child's idea of teachers' as, an in- ferior race. Finding that her gov ernesses and masters are Olympians to be approached with deference and awe,"she turns her attention to her new school-mates, and is not long in singling out the less, forta- nate among them.

One or two children are noticed to be still wearing shabby coats o bright spring days. Others tramp to school on foot instead of arriving by car or ricksha, and never invite their friend home to ten because their mothers do not know the mothers of other pupils.

The child's conviction of its own superiority to those whom it stes less advantageously situated is an inevitable phase, in the majority of casca gradually outgrown.

An example set by elders who treat their dependants with unfail- ing kindness and courtesy has been proved a remedy more efficacious than any punishment ever devised.

YOUR MACINTOSH.

A macintosh should be absolutely proof against penetration by water. If, therefore, you wear it on a rainy day and and the inner surface, par- ticularly across, the shoulders, be- comes wet, your conclusion is ob

vious.

Well the obvious may be right, for there are the good, bad, and indifferent in macintoshes. But it

is probable that the trouble in ̈ due to condensation."

The air enclosed in the macintosh increases in its water content, its degree of humidity.

THE FALL OF THE LEAF.

I always think the American word for autuma, "the fall" is very pretty, nad in Hong Kong the word has a special significance, for like the leaves we begin to lose vitality when August comes round. But with the fall comes a tonic which helps the renaissance of

womenkind, the Erst appearance of

the autumn styles.

I went into the Dolly Vardon Hat Shop yesterday feeling washed out by the heat, and found there a There most refreshing draught. were the first autumn suits hanging in the wardrobe and the shelves were filled with delightful felts..

The sports attire you will remem ber from last year, though, of course, they come in a new form. The material is the softest wool, and each suit is man tailored, and will, as I have proved, keep in shape even with constant rough usage. This year there are two and three piece suits Coat and skirt, pull over and skirt, or all three. Some of the three pieco ensembles have a sleeveless.coat. The jumpers are woven with a narrow silk stripe. in a toning or contrasting colour, and sometimes the striped material is used to trim the cedat. The colours are all delightful.

Now, when air is cooled it ran hold less water, and in a rain shower. or storm the outer surface of the macintosh gets cooled by 'wind and rain, and after the rain it is cooled, by the drying of the fabric. Thus the air inside the macintosh may deposit water on the proofed inner surface, which is cooled from the outside. This is "condensation."..

A rain-proof is of porous struc ture and permits more ventilation, and so it is free from condensa tion." But against this must be set the fact that it is usually only, rain- proof-not storm-proof or water proof, as with a good macintosh

The felt hats show that oyster and cinnamon beiges, dull ses green, rose colours, lemons and delphinium blues are to be the chosen colours Little touches braiding, or amali applications of lace trim some of them and mark the tran- sition between the summer and autumn styles A wider beira, softly draped is a noticeable fea ture and a good many of the models are trimmed with "a band and cockade of heavy grow grain ribbon.

Sales Items,

Among the excellent bargains to be found at Whiteaway, Zaid- lau's, are materials for making summer frocks and underwear. Calico has been reduced to 50 centș a yard, delightful printed Zephyr and rayone to 15 cents. Dura atripe shirting can be had at 5 yards for 81, and printed cotton voiles are $1 a yard.

There are a number of ladies straw hate this season's models still left, which are being offered at $2.50. Bed-room slip- pers for ladies and for children are now 81 a mir.

The very hot weather has pre- vented many people who would otherwise have done so from at tending the sale, but such excel- lent bargains as those I have mentioned make the effort more than worth while.

TIPS FOR CLEANING.

If your brocade.or cretonne cur tains get faded in patches, renovate thern when you are spring cleaning with a dye to match.

This should be rubbed into the stuff with a camel hair brush, and left on for a whole day.

You can go on applying fresh coats this way until the colour you want results.

Dye Your Faded Carpet. A carpet that is self-coloured and faded can be satisfactorily spring cleaned at home.

Bome dye of the shade required should be mixed, and, with a cloth, rubbed into the carpet's pile while it is still very hot. Leave it for an hour, and then, to set the colour, rub it over with salt and water.

*

Remove Smoke Blaga.". The smoke from the fire often leaves dirty marks on the edges of re-places; if they be of red brick, these marks can be taken away by

the use of a soft red rabber.

Dirt and soot also respond to this method, and it will make just all the difference to your fireplace.

Etchings, like every other form of art, vary, and while the opinion of connoisseurs as to their merits is fairly unanimous, the persona! taste of the ordinary man or woman is by no means so. One man is attracted to the lovely solid blacks and towering architectural effects ot, for example, E. J. Maybery's "Edinburgh Castle," whereas an other profers the more precise and pictorial treatment of C. Dickna's work..
