Look Your Best at the Dance

VERY girl likes to look her best and to appear as I fresh and sparkling as possible when going out to a dance or any other form of evening entertainment.

The best way of ensuring this is to rest for at least an hour before getting ready. Many women complain that they have no time to do so, but much can be done by preparing everything in readiness beforehand. FIL- teen or twenty minutes spent in careful preparation during the early part of the day will often save an hour of worry and bustle just before you start out.

Never be content with merely saying to yourself, "I will wear my black frock to-night." Take the frack from its hanger, shake it out, and make sure that it is in order, pressing it over with an iron if necessary, s0 that it can be slipped on in a moment when the time comes. Hunt out all the things which go with t the right underclothing, the stockings, clean and without holea or ladders, the shoes, in perfect order; and any bends, ornaments, or other accessories that you usually wear with it.

Most of us know the disaster of Onding an unexpected ladder in our of hunting
