Filling Gaps in the

Wardrobe

When the Christmas break is over, and certainly by the end of the January festivities, nearly everyone finds odd and nex- pected gaps in the wardrobe. Some items may have been sub- jected to more strain than they can reasonably be expected to stand in the way efther of wes- ther or of wear and tear;

A Christmas gift may demand something one does not already possess in order to show it to full advantage, or perhaps an utex- pected invitation means that one or two unallowed-for-garments must be included. In the packing lis "There could hardly be a better moment for filling in these gaps.

Many of the better places ́are already selling their models; most of the others, large and small... have started their sales. too. Apart from this kind of assistance to the pocket the fas- hions of to-day are definitely helpful.

Miss Naylor has just received a shipment of the very latest cocktail dresses straight from America. Those cocktail dresses are becoming more and more the fashion and not to have at least one in your ward-robe is really too old-fashioned for words. I particplarly noted, tone, made of soft rich brown satin with a very altractive and unusual collar in the shape of a big ruff in the style of the ruffs wom round the neck in the Elizabethean time, The effect was very charming.

Another unusual cocktail frock had a shirt blouse effect at the top with a full and flowing skirt. Miss Naylor has also received a wonderful consignement of un- crushable printed silks that are really a boon for the traveller, for no matter what you do to them they do not crush in the least.

silver tinsel trimmings.

With Furs

A Christmas present of furs, unless in the shape of a full- length fur coat, nearly always makes one want something new and worthy to go with it. This applies particularly to capes and short or three-quarter-length coats.

When you are 'dealing with a cape in one of the luxurious furs, such as mink, a whole dress is usually indicated. I saw one".a day or two ago in, an exception. ally attractive dark brown wool, with a very marked ridge and a slender slivery grey line down one side of the ridge. The lines were severe, as indeed is nécess ary with This kind of material

The matching hat was pushed well back off the face, and had an upstanding ridge over the top, taking the same line as a head- band or plaf. The general effect was richly sombre, and this, in contrast to the radiant fairness of the wearer, was all to the good. With a shortish fur coat made in lamb or one of its variations, or in one of the other fat furs, and cut with a loose back so that i can be worn in country or town, a new skirt or a new jersey or knitted dress may be all that is needed.

Pin-point corduroy is a sound choice for a new skirti which can accompany the coat in both urban and rural districts. Its sheen and texture blend delight fully with fur, and the very nar- row tib gives the wearer. a much more slender silhouette than the old-fashioned corduroy.

Cardigan Colours

A cardigan which buttons all the way up the front to a high neckline is a helpful addition. If you are going gay, about your jumper, the cardigan can match it. If you prefer a more übtle effect, the cardigan can match the skirt and the blouse can be smoky grey or soft apricot, a gentle, bluish-green, or a purp- 11sh-blue.

Headbands and diadems get 'more and more Interesting. The most alluring, as is unfortunately only natural, do not seem to diminish Tn cost.

Beauty Questions Answered

EGGS FOR THE SKIN

Is the white of an egg good for the skin? If so, can you please tell me how It is used?

White of an egg is very nour- ishing, and will help to smooth out fine lines. Saturate a piece of ganze in the white of an egg and then place it over the skin. smoothing out the wrinkles at the same time. Leave this on for half an hour and then remove by soaking with cold water,

ROSE TINTED CREAM What cosmetics would you sug- gest for a very sallow skin? No- thing seems to suit my com- plexion.

The real cure for a sallow skin must come from within. In the meantime you can use, as a dis- guise, rosetinted vanishing crean. To make this, add five drops of liquid rouge to half an ounce of ördinary white vanishing cream. Stir thorughly and massage a little into the skin. If it gives the skip a pink glow the right proportions have been reached, but otherwise you must continue

shade. mixing until you get the right,

DRY LIPS

My lips are so very dry, al.... though I always use lip salve. Is there a cure for this trouble?

Before applying lipstick, it is a good plan to massage the lips gently with skin food. Allow this to remain on for a minute or two, and then wipe off all, surplus grease. Instead of using the lipstick directly on to the. lips, rub a little on to the finger-tip and work this evenly into the. skin, keeping well inside natural Up Une.

FOR A SENSITIVE SKIN

I like to use £ skin tonic, but my face is so dry and sensitive. that I and I cannot use ördinary Iotions.

Perhaps you have been unlucky in your choice of skin tonics Some are very mild and benficial. even to the most serialive skin. For a very dry and sensitive skin. however, rose-water makes a very nice lotion. It soothes and soffens and should be dabbed or sprayed on to the face after washing.
