OU can't tell me a thing about life under a dictatorship. I lived just that kind of life for seventeen years. Then I got out.

My father was, arid is, a dictator. In his business and in his conversation he is all for dentocracy. Mention Nazi-ism to him and he flares up and goes out to buy another savings certificate. There must be no Hitlers or Stalins in his world scheme.

I remember the terror of porridge. Por- ridge made me feel sick. If I could not scrape my outside plate clean at breakfast I got the remains, cold and glutinous, for lunch, with a non-stop lecture thrown in. In desperate, J heaving misery I learned, at last, to eat it and escape. Porridge still makes mo sick.

Look what happens to my sister. She is twenty-eight and lives at home. She is accom- plished, good-looking, dependent on father. Ten years ago she was a gay, vivid girl, wanting to study music and make it her profession.

Father, to knock the nonsense out of her head, put her into a friend's office. He asked his friend nol to teach her too much, to keep her salary low "for the time being." At the end of two years she was brought home to housekeep because mother, en- couraged by father, could Jonger do without her,

We've all heard it said of a bad cook: "Why, she can't even boil an egg!" But even the very best cook sometimes Jet themselves down in cas-boiling.

The average egg needs turce minutes lo fast-boiling water; if laid the same day as they're to be eaten, allow an extra half minute to set the white perfectly.

Many useful and dainty things may be made from organdle, a fabric which has much to com- mend it, being easily laundered, of moderate price, and practically endless' wear.

Much of the charm of this material lles in its transparency, and if one colour is laid upon. another marvellous shot effects may be obtained. and unusual colour schemes introduced.

Cushion covers of this fabric, embroidered in simple designs in gay or pastel wools, placed over contrasting slips are charming.

Tablo mats of two shades simply embroidered look crisp and summery. Blas binding makes a good edging for round mats, or they may be hem- stitched by machine, the material cut away just beyond the sewing, and a narrow crochet edge worked into the resulting holes.

Some of the patterned organdies also make attractive mats, the large overchecks especially fitting in with modern schemes.

Leaf-green over pale blue is exqulefte. Should you have a kidney-shaped or a semi-circular dressing-table, give it a petticoat of the same, hang curtains of double organdle at your window, and on the hottest day your room will have the coolness and the shimmer of the sea.

If, on the other hand, you like the suggestion of perpetual sunshine, place maize over salmon. pink and you will live in a sunset glow.

Lilac over rose or green over mauve are de lightful and of course part of the charm lies in the fact that with a different coloured slip you may alter the whole aspect of the affair. · And as a bedspread, the large over-check again appeals to the modern eye,

when we can do so little to alter their shape, except by way of lipstick, which, of course, does not appeal to everyone.

But fashion does play SUIDE part in what is most admired, und therefore most desired, at one period or another. Take, for in- stance, the Hapsburg ́mouth, with its exaggerated pout. That type of mouth is no longer popular.

Is it not odd how the very shuri upper lip which used to be con- sidered an Infallible sign of beauty, bus gone out of fashion?. To-day we, look inore for breadth and humour in the mouths of those we deem pretty or charming.

One must not forget the part the chin plays. In comblantion with the mouth.

A small chin may pasa muster if It is well formed, but a moderate- ly-sized one with firm lines which join the lips and neck, make a per- fect whole of the lower part of the face, and this appeals to one's sense of beauty.

There is the much vexed ques- tion that of the use of lipstick. In France, every woman paints her lips and one feels somehow as women with unpainted lips have featureless faces, because one sees so much lipstick used, and what is put on is generally not well done.
