Men's ad. for

Women!

OTHER, wife or sweetheart - if you have his interests at heart, you hate to see him in ̈ill- assorted attire. Few men enjoy the artistic appreciation of an en- semble such as most women possess. Those who do dress well and neatly, we find, have usually a back ground of feminine wisdom to influence their lordliness.

OOK him over. Tell him (with womanly tact, of course) that

a blue shirt, for instance, would look much better with his

grey flannels, that if he has red in his school tie there should be just a hint of red in his socks. Wisest of all, point him in our direction so that we too can exercise our talent for dressing men well in all those items which go with a good suit.

One cannot help casting a pitying thought back to the girl of twenty years ago, in whose eyes beads were little-vulgar, and who, when she changed her flannel blouse for her "afternoon" silk one, firmly Zas toned her lacu collar with a solid gold brooch and clasped round her neck a gold chain, with a heart shaped locket attached. Sometimes long gold chain weighted with a respectable sized watch, was add ed, and, with couple of fetter like gold bracelets jinging on her wrists, the girl of that day would descend to her fancywork, pleasant ly conscious, like Mias Kilmanegg, of her worth in gold.

Solidity and cash value are not the first consideration to-day: the colour scheme is the point to be considered.

Then, too, if several kinds of tinted garments are all washed in the same water, the delicate shades which one gets in lingerie silk of to-day are bound to go grey-look- ing.

The secret of washing any silk or crêpe-de-Chine lies in three things: Firat, uso plenty of water (two or three bowlfüls if necounty, and not too hot). Secondly, wash cach garment by itself; and, thirdly, rinse well afterwards in water which has just a little methylated spirit in it (this restores the glossiness to silken threads).

For white crêpo-de-Chine or silkc) a little borax, should be put into

all the waters, as this helps to keep the garments snowy; and if there is any doubt about colours running in a "figured" silk, put a table- spoonful of vinegar and salt into the cold rinsing water. The salt gets the colour and the vinegar helps to brighten it. And always bo sure to fold the material un with a piece of white cloth between each fold, otherwise it is apt to turn. brown in the drying.

The old belief that Frenchwomen are the best dressed women in the world was denied by Mrs. A. Tow are Settle, the fashion expert, at the Bummer school of the Drapers' Chainber of Trade at Girton College, Cambridge, last month.
