SMALL DETAILS, BUT WHAT

many trimmings, we all know, spoll the most high-styled frock. But one or two, picked with care and discrimination, can make a penny- plain outfit look at least sixpence coloured,

One warning:. When you ‹ are choosing a little something to revitalise a frock, a bag, a glove, or your new hair do, go for the newest, boldest ideas. If feathers are the fashion, better wear the whole bird than a timid wing-tip which will only look fussy. If buttonholes are featured make yours bright and showy. It need not cost much and you will not wear it for long, but while you do it will succeed. in making last year's suit look fresh from the fitter.

This year's trimmings tend to the Edwardian style, to suit the 1905 evening dresses and the swept-up 'hair. There's a glitter about them; fantasy has gone all feminine. If you have got any old-fashioned jewellery get it out, polish it up, and wear it, not on your bosom, but on your glove, your shoulder, or in your hair. The new high-curled hair style can take

almost any sort of trimmings; feathers or flowers; bows or ribbons; sequins or stars.

Do You Know How to Relax?

64¶TARD work never hurt anybody, "Hd it is a good thing some. times even to overwork," said a doc- tor once. But he also added, "Only, nobody must overwork habitually."

In these days of strain and stress the healthful person, therefore, is the one who can take full adveninge of the restful periods which come her way. It is letting go the reins for a time arid the right way of

resting which: matters. If we knew how to relax we would soon get At Sugain and return to harness refreshed

and strengthened.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that fo relax la simply to do nothing. This would be possible if it were not for the fact that once We seek to rid the mind of all effort, Rido often there rush in all the wor- atlas and troubles which either we have kept at buy or which dally haruss us.. And so it is obvious that We must train the mind to rest it- self during the hours of relaxation.

MAKE UP FOR OLDER

MOST elderly women fall, in their

makeup for two simple reasons. Their eyesight is not so good as it was, and they attempt to do a youthful complexion when they ought to be content with a frankly middle-aged one.

Enemies of Beauty

Most › middle-aged, women know that the most powerful enemy to youthful appearance is that elderly shine that appears on the finest skins about the age of fifty; that, and the faint yellowing of com- plexion, the tiny lines and broken veins, and falling contours of a once- girlish chin,

Good nourishing skin food, a facial massage and pack now and then, and nightly-exercise with a stimulating cream slapped and patted Into the skin will do wonders for drooping contours,

But if you are reconciled to wrin- kies and are only worried about a shiny and faded skin, content your- self with thorough make-up for the middle-aged,

Some older women object to pow- der, principally because they never seem to find the right shade. For them, a

To give the eyes a soft appearance, finish your make-up with a touch of cold cream on the eyebrows and across the eyelids themselves. Un- less you are of

a very sophisticated type, do not attempt eye make-up.

An eyebrow penell drawn scross the brows will certainly improve those that have gone thin and faded. But if you are past fifty and frankly middle-aged, steer clear of mascaru and eye-shadow.
