HEARTS!

EARS ago St. Valentine's Day was quite an important affair, when romantic young men took the opportunity of sending a token of their affection to their chosen Indy love. Hearts are trumpa to-day! The "let me be your Valentino" days are not over by any means, and they cause much fun and amusement among friends.

I know one young man who had thirteen Valentines last year!

Many versions are given as to the origin of St. Valentine's Day; but, whoever started the iden, the fashion world is taking

A novel noto can be given to the simplest frock by the addition of heart-shaped buttons. These are easily made in auede cloth or volvet. A belt embroidered with minute hearts in different shades gives a colourful note to a dark everyday dress.

The wearing of heart-shaped accessories is not restricted to St. Valentine's Day, as in Parle shops are to be reen black antelope bags decorated with a Cupid's arrow.

On laces, too, true lovers' knols are a favourite border as well as corner decoration.

Many novelties not only take on a practical form, but are delight- sentimental remembrances of happy days,

Wives like something practical for the house and the pretty matchstand will and a niche in the lounge or dining-room.

Lipstick lasts well if you follow that old, but effective, trick of applying it. then powdering the lips, then applying more of the lipstick. This way the rouge sels and lasts for hours.

Fresh as a Daisy

Office workers who are not accus- tomed to a lot of exercise often find that a day of biking or hiking leaves them too stiff to move next morning. You can avold this kind of hangover if you have a hot bath and a good rub down at night, & handful of bath salts adds to the pleasure at the end of a perfect day.

Last, but not least, remember that however beautifully you apply your make-up your skin will pick up a jot of dust. Don't keep powdering over it. Instead pop a tiny bollie of cleaning totion and a bit of cotton wool in your

handbag.
