HONGKONG TELEGRAPH

February 15, 1940.

What is the best lite dress you ever owned?

· Mine is my simple-very simple---- black day dress which fets are "play It up" with a 'gay chiffon scarf, or a large inexpensive, but costly-looking, brooch, or my speelał, rather barbar ous necklace (made. I think, from gilded buttons), to say nothing of the conventional, but always right, string

of pearls I affect.

FOUR-IN-ONE

DRESS!

The silhouette has been brought up

to date with to-day's waistilne and

slight flare emphasised.

dress which

This is the "simple changes little from season to season the tile dress" we all long for but so seldom find.

I'd like to call this a "Five in One” pattern but it's really a four-In-one dress with a choice of two necklines.

One, the heart-like neckline, ts illustrated in the full-figure sketch, The other, the simple round or straight-across-the-throat line, in the grandest neckline for your string of bends or brooch or clip,

*

As you see, the frock in the full- gure sketch is the ideal nine-to-six o'clock dress. Add to it the peplum.. a sort of frill round the waist (sketch 2), which is simply attached to its belt and hooked on, and you've at quée changed it to a slightly dressy afternoon frock.

Then we come to sketch 3. Berc you have a plastron, an ornamental front, which entirely covers 40 heart-shaped or round neck (whi - ever you make), and gives you an accessory you can play with

In velvet, in colour contrast, wool, you'd be using the last word in, fabric partnerships.

It's the kind of accessory you like to add when you feel you can live up to 1. You know what I mean—a special lunch party a matinee or an after- noon out.

We do want our after-six-o'clock dresses to have that little "some- thing" which day wear lacks. So our designer has given us the bustie back in sketch 4.

In velvet on wool, it would be per- feet. For me, I'll have satin-backed romaine, the dul! romaine surface for the dress, and the satin sido for the plastron and bustle-back acces- sories.

You can add a costume jewellery necklace and bracelets, if you like, or finish off the neck and sleeve ends quite simply.

This is an accessory dress with a difference--you yourself make your accessories.

For size thirty-six bust, you can make the foundation frock (that is. the frock without necessories) from 3 yards of 36in. material or 24 yards of 54in. material. Add half Yard of 30 and an eighth of a yard of respectively, for the peplum. The plastron and bustle require 1. yards of velvet in a.

So you can see how little your dress need cost.

Beauty Notes

TN these hard times, when nerves play such a part in our lives, health is of paramount importance. This wartime atmosphere does not tend to make nervous people less nervous. The best thing. In just to feel resigned to the fact that we are in for a rather unpleasant time.

Very few women, however, realise that rest is the best treatment for nerves; It is also an aid to greater health and beauty. Rest, properly taken and In the proper amount, is an essential factor in physteal and inental welfare. It is no good driving the body to exercises, when what the nerves and muscles and heart are really crying out for, is rest and un opportunity to recover from labour- induced fatigue,

In this matter as in every other, there is a wrong and a right way. True rest must be complete, but it must not be too prolonged. Complete rest can only be oblained in bed, and ft is here, in a Rited number of hours, that the sensible woman who is nerve-racked and over-worked should Ever notice how much you use your with open window, and complete seek it.
