HERE are women who look sluts in fifty-guinea models. Others can look Parisian in a little some- thing they've run up themselves.

Fashion models, designers, Edwardian mamas, smart socialites all tell you the same thing-asset number one is good deportment. Have you given a minute's thought to how you stand, how you walk, how you sit down? Believe me it matters.

Standing

STANDING up straight makes the best of your clothes and of you. The minute you begin to slouch or to stand with your weight on one leg you get a slack, uncaring appearance. Thing to do is to stand straight but not stiff. It's harder than it looks.

Standing properly is easier if you walk right. Now every one has been walking all her life, but very few walk well. Come rules of balance apply as in standing. The weight should be carried on hip bones and Back of spine.

Legs must be moved Ju walking from the hips, not the knees. Above the waist the borty must be still, though not rigid. Weight must be firmly planted on to the flat the foot, not part of

One attractive new shape. is triangular, and made from onyx. It would fit into any furnishing scheme, and har- monise with all colours.

Supported on a sttal, as a photo- frame, this new onxy clock has glass covering the dark metal figures, the #inks itself being set in a dark metal rim about an' lnck from the three Eldes.

Needless to say, the clock is heavy, and not easily knocked over.

In Small Black Cups

VISIT to the china shop is a feast of colour. Delicate pat- terns appear on non-fragile crockery as well as precious services, some showing a tracery of thin coloured lines, others a reproduction of a de- sign reflecting the Chinese influence encouraged in Georgian days two centuries ago.

But in one of the latest coffee sets there is tile delicacy so far colour is concerned. It is all-black, the outsides of the cups and the pot being rough, while the inside of the cups are conveniently smooth and shiny, so that there is no grating of the spoons against the insides of the cups.

Coffee in these cups should be served on a black ovat tray.

ATH towels are quite the most colourful things in the modern bathroom, and it would seem that the more luxurious of the towels are plainly coloured, but showing a variety of designs to dis- Linguish them from those bought last

season.

A large sized towel with a Jac- quard design is soft and absorbent and appears in pastel shades of pink, and gold. It is marked with wavy lines

thicknesses at In graduated either end. *

A Turkish towel, on the other hand, has a wayy design all over and slanting streaks as a border pat- tern.

Another Türkish towel, which has a pretty border design of tulips, looks very delightful in tulip plnk.

Dented For Perfection

THERE are all sorts of reasons for the new frying pans which are dented all over.

The moulded base lifts the meat or whatever is being cooked from the heat, allowing a free pasange of the fat underneath the food.

It has been prayed that there is less splashing and spluttering of fat In such a pan, and it is also easy to shake an omelette or pancake free once it has set.

Again, food is less likely to burn for the busy cook to be interested in -which is perhaps, reason enough
