Look at me Mummy!

Mummy is always looking. There was a time some time ago-when her looks were often worried ones. Nothing was wrong with the child really. It was just the difficulty, which so often arises, that the right food could not be found, And it wasn't found till "Lactogen" was tried.

It is rapidly becoming the best known fact in mothercraft that Lactogen" will solve the pro- blem-yes and save the child-when everything. else fails. Good rich full cream farm milk which the Nestle's process has made light and easy' to digest.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LINE IN DRESS.

To be well dressed is something more than to wear smart, well-cut clothes. It is to wear the clothes which give the wearer the neatest, most graceful appearance-which is another way of saying that a woman is not well dressed unless her clothes make her look as nearly perfectly proportioned as it is possible for her to look.

If you are to use line successfully it is more important to know, de finitely just what en bo, done with it than to be told disjointed facts, such as-fat women should wear no trimming round the hips.

Even to the woman who prides hörself on an intelligent under standing of dress, line means just the silhouette of her clothing. To the expert designer it means' a great deal more than this. It means not only the outlines of the garment he is creating but lines of radiation, linos of division, the shapes of everything used, from the earner of a collar to the shape, of a pocket, the relation oftha shape of a sleeve, to the width of the hips, the cutting of a neck line in relation to a waist measurement. Ho aims at that perfect combina tion of shape, material and orna- ment which stamps the simplest creation from his hands as the work of a front-rank dress designer,

Every woman desires beautiful figure, that is ons that gives the observer an impression of hips that balance the bust, both looking narrow in proportion to the height, shortness of body, graceful length in the leg, a flat back, a well- balanced head on a neck not too short or too long, and long, slender arms and lega.

But the figure which is actually so proportioned is as rare as the pink pearl. Line, however, can be used to create the illusion of good proportion where it does not exist. Clothes carelessly choren without regard to line ruthlessly accentuato, the bad points of the wearer, to such an extent that many women the unhappy about their bad figures who actually could look slim, smart and graceful if they knew. how to do so.

It is imposible da ezayperate the Importance of line in sta relation to beauty. Once the 'woman' who takes an interest in her clothes has; grasped its significance, she can criticise the suitability of garments offered her from an entirely new. standpoint.

The information given here is enough to enable any woman to choose or make the most perfect clothes for her own particular type of figure. I will give some £x^ amples of the illusions created by line to make its meaning cloor. When the main principles are un derstood, experiments will suggest themselves.

Straight vertical lines, paraliel vertical lines, corners, triangles. and points create an effect of alight ness and energy.

The creation of width at a narrow place (the shoulders) can be used to achieve slenderness for the whole figure by balancing width at a wide place (the hips),

A triangle, of little flowers with the apex at the top is successful, All main lines in the garments should · the vertical or diagonal, neurr horizontal. Two colours or plain and printed material can be used to create an illusion of narrowness, by joining them vertically. Pockets can be set in diagonally,

MUMMY HATS CRAZE.

FASHION FINDS A NEW FREAK SENSATION.

Fashion designers, who have lately been delving into history books for bizarre ideas, have now resurrected, evidently from the mummy room at the British Museum, another, which is nothing short of an atrocity. It is guaran teed to make the most beautiful} woman in England look hideous.

The latest freak in the Rameses hnt. That is not its official title. It has no official title yet. It may never have an official title, because only the most sensation-seeking of women would dare to wear it.

But the Rameses hat is the only phirase that is not abusive which will describe it.

The Rameses hat is like of rabbit that has swallowed one of those boxes in which they put silk hats.. It has no brimi., It is covered with artificial hair of the same colour as the hair of its wearer,

It is worn drawn down to the cars so that it merges into the real tresses of its owner. An old- fashioned" bun" protrudes éon- spicuously from the back of it. It is worn (barrors) with evening dreas.

Two women, looking as if they were aristocrats of the court of an Egyptian king of the Second Dynasty, emerged from a taxicab in Piccadilly-circus. They wore the

Rameses hat. They were a sonsa-

tion.

Girls crated their necks over the top of ominibuses to seo them. Taxicab drivers exchanged rude re marks.Look at Queen Tut," said one, jerking his thumb over his shoulder. The mere male-in-the- street, wondered what women would do next.
