But fortunately for those whom Nature has not made like two flat planks, there is every op portunity forassaming slimness. The cross-overfront is one good point of a frock made for a stout figure. The cutting of the dress across the back at the waist line, and allowing the bodice te blousa over slightly, is another.

My lady's rouge is encased in a pencil of gold, like the locket, and it serves as a handle for carrying the powder case which swings from it on a delicate gold chain.

Ribbon is being plentifully used again this season, and with great distinction. The colours are vivid green, bright blue, orange and old rose, to say nothing of a fancy ribbon with all these colours mixed in and gold and silver thread added.

TO MARRY THE PRINCE?

This is a recent photo of Lady Mary Thynne, whose bisit to South Africa has renewed the gossip that the Prince of Wales may make her his bride.

When the eyes feel tired and aching from eyestrain or the effects of cold, sharp winds, bath- ing them with very hot water will give instantaneous relief.

COLOURED HANDKERCHIEFS.

Coloured handkerchiefs play a more important role for daily use than those of fine white linen. Yellow, deep pink, apple- green, and blue are the colours chosen for these gay little mouchoirs, less than 12in. square.

Bindings are rolled round some; others are buttonholed in a fancy de- sign; and another idea is to finish them off with a picot.edga.

A border in another colour is marked an inch from the edge, others again have the monogram skilfully embroidered, and the intervening linen cut away, so that it leaves the letters as openwork.

REVIVAL OF BEART” DESIGN.

The "modernist" tendency in dress and frivolities sometimes palls, and on that account we see- a revival of the heart as a decor-

ative motif. Heart-shaped powder boxes in gold-sprinkled lacquer are, charming, and have heart- shaped powder puffs inside. The same line is used for pincushions, covered with delicately coloured satin and embrodered linen, which are pretty and useful.
