This lovely evening gown, designed by Mainbocher of Paris, is fashioned In black silk crepe and black lace. Large yellow roses are pinned in front. The gown reflects the mode shown at the In- fernational Iare Foshion Show recently in Bermuda,

is starred as the perfect guest

SHE eldont changes her plans, always mikes clear the date of her arrival and the date of her departure. (This does help in a small and busy house.)

SHE is always cheerful and considerate, ready to fall in with any plans ber hostess has made (or entertaining her. SHE is always willing to help in the garden or take the dogs for a walk.

If she has a dog of her own she always asks beforehand If she may bring it with her instead of calmly arriving with ft.

SHE indicates its breed and sex, its little foi- bles-bad as well as good-and its opinion of ents and children, so that her hostess is well prepared.

SHE doesn't behave like a convalescent the first few days just because she had a tiring jour-

ney.

SHE Is courteous to the servants; she doesn't keep them running errands, nor give orders nor expect them to give the service of a personal mald. SHE doesn't spoil the children, although it's very easy for "Aunty" to amuse the "little darlings"

..

SHE doesn't suggest outings that host and hostess can't afford; nor use the house as a centre of rest in between her own outside amusements,

SHE doesn't leave elgarette ash in the bed- clothes if she smokes, in bed, or read half the night with all the lights full.on.

SHE conveniently goes for a walk when the rooms are obviously upside-down, or tactfully asks her hostess if she lend a hand in dying them.

SHE realises that even a one-day stay is worth a litle note of "Safely arrived and thank you for a lovely time." For which thought alone she deserves to be starred as the guest her hostess wants to invite again,

But this one won't be

second time

SHE arrived in her town clothes, thus giving her hostess the im pression that it was too much bother to change specially for the visit; and she brought only high-heeled shoes that ruled out all possibility of coun- try walks and country sports.

SHE said she disliked animals, gave dogs with muddy paws dis- dainful looks, and indicated that she would like them shut out of the room at meal-times.

SHE is utterly uninterested in gardens, declared she wouldn't be seen dead with a trowel in her hand, and hinted that to walk round with her hostess to look at the flowers would be just too much effort.

SHE lolled back in a chair with a book most of the day-didn't put herself out to be sociable with her hostess, and showed no enthusiasm for any suggestions made for her own entertainment.

Really Bored?

SHE declared that she couldn't sleep in the country because the quietness is overpowering and frightening. She liked breakfast in bed, and lay back among the pillows so that all the morning's housework was held up.

CHILDREN WHO WON'T EAT

There's nothing so wearing for a mother as a child who won't.. cat well. Usually such a child is the "nervy" highly-strung type. He picks at his food, looks pale and loses weight.

Coaxing won't improve matters, Child specialists everywhere re- commend Horlicks for these "nervy" children with faded ap- petites.

The reason is that Horlicks not only builds bone and muscle, but it stimulates their appetites for the foods, they need. In a remarkably short time they get strong, healthy, full of life and ..."go." And children love the luste of Horlicks. Get Horlicks to-day,
