Before I had got into my horrow- ed swimming suit another syiph appeared at the door. She led me inte n big room, stood me beside a terrifying-looking machine, and put me into its embrace,

This machine of tiny rollers appeared to me to be hundreds of tiny rollers which rolled them- selves up and down, round and round my body. This lasted for half an hour, and I was then taken into a room where there was a huge mattress lying on the floor.

A gramophone was turned on, giving instructions for all sorts of wild exercises.

"Legs in air, toes over head!” screamed, the voice. I tried to obey-I made myself, into imaginary scissors, I turned my toes over my head, but I was pre- pared to revolt if that relentless: voice ordered a somersault!

On and on went the voice, and at last, when I thought I surely must be just skin and bone, I was led into another room,

Stephanie has also sketched for us a very useful garment in the shape of a two-piece ten-gown; otherwise a little frock which can be transformed into a ten-gown at will. The frock is of orange broche georgette, with plain georgette for the puffs of the sleeves and trimming generally, while the sleeveless coat is of the same orange broche georgette.

A new fad of the moment-and -one which was bound to come, see- ing how we've all rushed to the other extreme-is to wear no jewel- lery at all! Nothing, either real -or-falso-not a ring, not a bracelet, not even a jewelled brooch or pin Some of the smartest, women are no thoroughly tired of the huge jewels of the nouveaux rich, and the even vaster specimens of the cheap du- partment store, that they are mak- ing a sort of cult of bare hands, cars, wrists, and so on.
