These chorvating summer days tend to make one forget time and budget schedules, so summer modea in dress scem to abandon symmetry for the time being. Looking over the latest arrivals from Paris I am struck with the slant there is on the mode-one-sided treatments, lop-sided neck themes and so on.

The uneven thing seems the chic thing at the moment, Necklines, hems, skirt treatment-it is all the same. Symmetry has been lost in original, odd, one-sided inspira- tiona.

Brush a few exlin drops of bril- fiantine into the hair. for it will not only give it a extra gloss but will provent the sun from scorching the colour from fair or golden hair.

Whether you wear a bandeau or a Helen Wills eyeshado' must be left to your own taste. Those who burn and freckle easily will be wise to adopt the eyeshade. For the athers the bandeau is perhaps the more becoining.
