The first little boy was'nt so far out. His method of remembering -association of ideas-was almost successful. The error was but a matter of degree. Mind scientists tell us that all memory is built up upon association of ideas either conscious or conscious, one idea tagging on to another in a continuous chain. That is why, when we are striving to remember something, we can. not always recall it instantaneous- ly. We have to ponder, chose back along the line until we get to it. But it does'nt need much effort to remember Baby's Own Tableta when the chlidren are off colour. The name itself exactly describes

Embroidery returns to the scene of chic via Paris. On a white satin evening skirt (left) Patou places a georgette tunic, blouse almost entirely embroidered in pearls; note the long sleeves. The cape of an evening ensemble (centre), shows the same embroidery as the dress, emphasizing the downward movement of the cut.
