the model houses. Neat little costumes, topped sometimes with Jaunty n-up brimmed sailor hats that have narrow petersham ribbon under the chin to enhance that schoolgirl look, helped still further by the pre- diction of shoe designers that heels will be lower.

You'll notice that revers have lost that exaggerated look; no longer do they stand shoulder to shoulder, but have returned more or less to normal, Skirts are straight with discreet pleats that give comfortable walking width yet retain a slender silhouette,

The spirit of youth is abroad, as will be seen by the models which are now being shown at the Parls dress shows,

Black is used as an accent note on many models; our artist illustrates this in the models she has chosen. In the first one you have a delightfully girlish outfit as far as line is concerned, but the colouring given it smart- nees in distinction. It is of course designed for the slim,

Skirt and bolero are in soft pink allled with a blouse, hat, gloves and shoes in black. The three bolero buttons are also black.

Up and down goes the waistline, and on the second figure you see the now long and silm effect. While the sult is made in a man's pin-striped suiting, the blouse' gives a soft, feminine note with its frivolous frills, and the straw hat has a curly feather.

Note, too, its revers are smaller. The coat la cut high, fastening down the front with seven buttons. You can have as many pockets as you like this spring. This model sports four on the coat and two on the skirt.

Gay checks and plalda-the larger the belter-or boid stripes, are used with plain materials. If the skirt is checked, then the plain coat has checked facings. Always the contrast is introduced as a trimming.

It is interesting to nole that the spirit of 1938 design in sults is to give added height and slmness to the wearer. In the bolero suit the deep swathed waist coming low down on to the hip line emphasizes this new pencil silhouette.

Whilst the pin stripe suit is literaily tailored sheathlike to the figure, there

· But well-thumbed favourites can be made to look practically -new-again-if-a-little-trouble- and time is expended on them.

If the covers of a book åre bent through being held too close to a fire-and this is a common offence-hold them for a little in the steam from a boil ing kettle. This will soften the boards slightly. Bend them back in position, and place under a heavy weight overnight.

If the cover has become shab. by through excessive use, and is beyond repair, remove it. It is quite simple to make another cover and attach it to the book. Of course, book-binding is an art in itself, but a little amateur first aid to books is of great use. Cut a length of stout cardboard, in size slightly larger than the dimen-

Here is a brief list of vitamins, showing some of the chief foods in' which they are contained:--

Vitamin A, Butter, yolk of egg. milk, the fnt of meat, greens,

Vitamin B: Dried peas, beans, lentils, nuts, cereals, yolk of egg liver, tomatoes, milk, oatmeal, root vegetables. Vitamin C Oranges, grape- fruit, salads, tomatoes, fruits generally, green vegetables (especially steamed), milk, bolled potatoes. Vitamin D is found in halibut and cod-liver oll; and Vitamin E In the yolk of egg and bananas.

This list is sumcient to indicate that you can obtain all the vita- mins you need without being "faddy." and it is of interest to note that certain foods contain more than one vitamin, notably eggs, milk and tomatoes.

Glue Armly in position, and when the glue is com- pletely dry, cover the back with a contrasting shade of paper or mate- rin, letting this extend a little way over both sides of the book.

The uncovered cardboard on both sides can be decorated according to individual taste. A very pleasing effect is obtained by covering the cardboard with embroidered mate- rial, and covering the back with the sume

material unadorned. Cutout gummed paper is also widely used.

MARKED PAGES

A great many people persist in marking their places by turning down pages, and this can spoil the look of any book. The marks 30 made can never be quite removed, but a lot cm be done to improve them.

UNPUNCTUAL

WIVES

TIME is apt to play an

important part in the life of the busy young house- wife. With so much to occupy her mind and hands in and about the home, the hours slip by with almost unbelievable speed.

"The afternoon has sim- ply flown. I had no idea of the time," she explains to her husband, to account for his tea not yet being quite ready.

This habit of time-uncon- sciousness is one that quickly grows. Calling at a neighbour's house after tea, with the parcel the errand-boy asked her to tako in because there was no answer to his ring next door, she re- turns home an hour later.

"I thought you would not be away more than a few minutes," her husband remarks on her re- turn. It is not really that time, is it?" she answers, glanc- ing at the clock. "We seemed to be talking for a very short time."

PROLONGED ERRANDS

At first the husband may meet his wife's unpunctuality with good-humoured banter until her lack of time-sense begins to jeopardise the smooth-running of the home,

"Have you no idea of the time?" he asks at last, dis- appointed because a two-minute errand to the corner shop has expanded into half an hour, and the proposed visit to the cinema has to be abandoned.

Hot words follow, as the wife seeks to defend herself. The husband ceases to bother. His wife, he tells himself, can no longer be relled upon. He will not trouble about making ar- rangements in future. Nor is there need to hurry home for meals that are rarely ready.

The wise young housewife will realise the great value and importance of proper time-con- sciousness. Without it, tho home cannot be run smoothly. ESTIMATING THE TIME

Time-consciousness is essential in every home. It is just as import- ant to know how long a certain job has taken, or how long you have been talking to a neighbour as it is to be aware how much the butcher has charged for that three-pound Joint.
