Clothes still count

Don't let yourself think that it doesn't

wear you

now

THE war cut off the crop at

bustles, muts, and all the other fancy autumn fashion before they had time to get out of the "dreas makers showrooms. (In England, that is; America ' still hoping to be able to buy and wear all the French clothes they can get over.)

But that doesn't mean that from now on we should decide to go around in nothing but plain, sensible coats and slirts. Loble of the Queen; you probably saw pictures or news reels of her inspecting the A.N.P. and Red Cross depots, DRI you notice that on each occasion she was wearing a different ouint? And mort outät: flowered hota, vello, pastel-coloured embroidered dresses --almost garden-party clothes.

No doubt they helped her to look na bright and smiling as he did; and the people she was inspecting liked' looking at them,

Put on your best suit to-morrow. and your new hat, and you'll find that without knowing why, your spirits will rise.

This spirit-raising effect of nice clothes is important to women- everything is important which maken you feel more cheerful.

But naturally It's not going to be so ensy or so cheap to get good clothes us it is now. When the pre- sent stocks have sold out-and they are selling fast-you won't find new ones at the sume price.

There's a big cry now for warm winter axis, for instance,

So I will pay you to start now and build up a winter wardrobe; a good sound basis of cssentials to which you can add as fashions change. (Because, don't make any mistake, fashions will change, jus! as they did in the last war, which. saw skirta go up four inches.)

TE dress designers will help you; they have switched straight.over to designing practical good-looking: elothes.

These seem to me to be the essen- ala of every woman's wardrobe.

A well-cut suit, tweed ur plain, but in neither car too dated; two jerseys, two blouses to go with it.

The aforesaid good warm cust something really warm, whul and weatherproof.

If you live in a town, a dark coat, possibly fur-trimmed,

On warm woollen dress your favourite colour.

ונן

One affic dress, dark, but not necessarily black.

One evening dress (Robb has drawn the kind here which would be most useful to you).............

One pull-on and stay-on felt hat; one fashionable and if you like slightly crazy hat.

re:

This is only the groundwork of a wardrobe, of course; you probably have quite a few of the things al- ready, and you can add to them from time to time; make yourself spure jerseys, soarves, and so on.

Things you

should twold Startling checia which will bare you within six months and cle on you within a year. Pleats and fussy de- talls which need time and money to keep good-looking. Anything too fragile or too dated.

Make a bid for bright colours though; it is possible that dyes muy be limited later on.

Beauty Tips

TF YOU wish to learn how to walk smoothly, follow straight line, allowing the lega to swing freely in their sockets. Straighten each knee as the foot touches the ground, and it possible, try to paint your toes straight ahead, Following straight line can be taxing at first, but practice when you Ho shopping by trying to follow the paving lines in the side- walk. When climbing stairs, try to spring up from the balls of the feet; do not drag your- self up from the knees.
