Dressing up to Look Youthful

TO-DAY the Hollywood beauty experts reveal some of the subtler points of dress and appearance.

HERE ARE EIGHT RULES FOR THOSE WHO SEEK A FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

Be very careful about foundation clothes. They give

you firm modelling,

Insist upon good clean necklines.

3. Favour clear blues, belges and greys. They clear

the skin.

4. Wear white collars, either of the schoolgirl variety,

or of the shape that men wear. Those with a more sophis-

tested cut are good, 100.

5. An all-bluck dress has a Little-

Orphan-Annie look. It's forlorn, so there can

Add to the all-black dress, if you would look younger and brighter, a detail of white or some becoming

colour.

Soft furs, like wolf and lux, that absorb scent.

3. Black taffeta. Fringe. Shiny, romantic things.

4. Prints are downright dangerous. Because you never can be sure whom they will and whoon they won't appeal

to.

They're much too highly individual in their appeal to be counted upon to please a gentleman's fancy.

5. Sulls that have sofe feminine' rather than the stiff collar and vest harshness of men's own apparel. B. Good inste, Women who wear bright colours and extreme fashion may catch the masculine eye, but stendy-going men of refinement are uncomfortable with a woman who is conspicuously dressed.

Planning The Wedding Reception

DO NOT forget that whatever kind of reception you have, it should be thoroughly well planned before- hand, so that there are no worrying details or unforeseen hitches to mar the happiness which everybody should be enjoying on the wedding day.

The Early Wedding

The sort of reception you give will depend to a certain ex- tent upon the time of day in which the ceremony itself take place.

If it is a morning wedding then the reception often takes the form of what we know as a "wedding breakfast," but which is really a luncheon party.

For a small party a "sit-down" meal is indicated which may take place in an hotel or your own house, as you prefer.

When an hotel is chosen the bride's mother merely has to discuss such things as price-per-head, menu, and flowers with the hotel manager, and see the private

The Caterers' Aid

If you are rather perturbed) at the amount of work entailed in having a reception at home, then you can ask caterers to come in and undertake the whole thing.

They will bring extra china, glass, tables, and chairs. They will also arrange the entables and drinks and serve them.

The food for a buffet luncheon need not be extravagant, but it should be fairly substantial. Meat patties, cold galantine or other cold meats, such

Many people imagine that a bride's cake and champagne are ' absolutely essential to a wed- ding reception...
