PLEATS

Pleated skirts are starred in the first spring dress shows. Breaking away from the pencilstraight skirts of last

The skirt was closely knite-pleated all the way round, and about an inch shorter than you have been wearing ther. (One designer said skirts had

risen to 17ins, off the ground,. almost knee height, but so far I haven't seen any more than 15ins, off the ground.)

Bodice was quite plain; neck cut out into two stand-up edges, curving down to the waist and lined with an inner strip of white pique. Long sleever were rut away at the wrist to show a deep inner cuff of more white pique, The inch-arrow belt was shiny white leather, and, like all bells seen so far, buckled at the back.

TO FIND YOUR WEAK POINTS CERTAINLY there is not time enough to do all that

we've been told to ward off age marks. There are so many ways in which one's years may show: in hands, carriage, ligure, mannerisms, skin, particular features, voice.

The attack will be on your weak spots (we've all come across the eighty-year-old with magnificent hair or teeth), so the im- portant thing is to find out which they are, and give them all the care you can.

How to find them? Well, your elderly relatives are a pretty sound guide. One has only to look at a few grandmothers to see how certain weaknesses and strengths are inherent.

So look out for them. If, as a family, you have all got beautiful skins don't worry so much about preserving your com- plexion as you do about; say, your teeth,"

Here are 11

few of the time- markings that a little observance of your relatives may show to be your particular weaknesses.

FAT-The tendency to fat very often does not show until about the thirties but, If you know that it is likely you can prevent it by eating and exercising intelligently and in time.

But don't go in for strenuous sports.
