WHEN YOU BUY TIES.

[Br AN EXPERT.]

If you are including one or two tics for your husband on your list

of sales shopping read these hints before buying them.

Before entering the shop decide on the colour of the tie wanted, otherwise the assortment displayeri is apt to be confusing.

If a narrow knitted tie is favour- ed, it should be closely woven and the silk soft. Then it will not readily crease, and will prove hard- wearing.

In an open-end tie, good quality silk is eoft and supple, will give to the touch, and has a subdued sheen. A poor quality silk is often shiny, stiff, sad crackly and is liable to split.

The bins tie is made in every con- ceivable variety of silks and de- signs. If the large end sets flat, this denotes expert cut and good make, while the contrary is shown by slight wrinkles

The pattern on a tie is an import. ant matter to the average man. A wise choice is a small, neat and well- blended design on a dark back- ground. If there is any doubt, a dark tie is always a safe choice.

The majority of men prefer quiët colours. The only exception is the Regimental or Club tie, which should invariably be purchased from well-established shops to ensure the correct blend of colours.

It was not the first time I had heard the same opinion expressed. I came away wondering if beauty can really be so fatal to its owner, if the happens to be ambitious and not content to sit still and be ad mired.

Of course, if she possess over- whelming talents in some direction her fatal beauty" will make no difference. But she has to be a good deal above the average.

The difficulty is that when once. the word beautiful has been pre- fixed to a girl's name in people's ninds, they refuse, to realise that she might equally well be described as capable or clever.

This disinclination to believe that brains and the capacity for hard work can be combined with great beauty certainly exists in most em ployers' minds.

A few months ago, I had another example. This time the job in question consisted of working alone in a separate room on certain re search work, so the effect of fatal beauty on clients of the firm did

not arise.

A friend of mine had held the post for some years, and on leaving was asked to suggest a successor. Among the names she put forward far and away the most suitable was that of a really lovely girl. qualifications were of the highest "and the head of the business seemed
