Sculptured Curls for 1939

The smartest and newest coiffure, perfected by export hairdressèrs, is plastic curls, worn flat around the head from a side parting, like that of some sculptured Greek god.

Boleros From Remnants

THE bolero is here again on a tide of fresh popularity, and a very useful little garment it is. A gay one puts life into the dullest frock; a dark one tones down a smart gown i into a simple dinner ensemble,

So, if you have any old pleces or bits of velvet, brocadé, and telt, here are some ideas you may like to try. Any colour of dress felt can be used for a sleeveless botero. Buy a ball of angora wool of the same shade, and croche free rows all round the

adge. Add two sinall "Lufta" at either side to look like imitation pockets. Or you can use black fell and white

has sleeves to match, falling very full at the wrist. Try this in chiffon, but remember that you will need three times the ordinary amount of material,

For Day Dresses

The bolero day dress is exception- ally practical. Make a black tailor- ed skirt with belt altached. a long- sleeved, very short-jacketed bolero, and gay silk blouse with Peter Pan collar. The edges of Uds should show below the bolero,

If you use a dark material-green, black, blue, or red--you can "ring the changes" by having two or three contrasting

blouses,

As these are quite plain and sleeveless, their cost is almost negligible. Or, it you have a good satin evening frock which is out of date, why not make a blouse from it This may easily be cut from the wide skirt.

Again, perhaps you prefer a blouse of the same tone. In this case, applique your bolero in the corners with bright bits of feit, and make a design round the hem of the skirt,
