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.

1. Be very careful about foundation clothes. They give

you firm modelllag.

3. Insist upon good cleun necklines.

3. Favour' clear blues, belger and greys. They clear: E

the skin.

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

or of the shape that men wear. Those with a more sophfs- ticated cut are good, too.

5. An all-black dress has a Little- Orphan-Annie look. It's forlorn, so there can be nothing young about it

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

you arc mature, you'll get nowhere-as far as a youthful appear- ance

Koes by wearing bright colours and frilly clothes.

They defeat their. purpose, because they give you the effect of straining for youth.

7. Whatever JOHN age-dreas for it! The

woman who

achieves a thful quality that is denied the woman who bor- rows styles and effects that were designed for those ten years Lounger than ahe

she.

E. If you are beyond your first youth, attempt no extreme fashion.

1. Ladies wilig look Innocent. Ladies who do not look innocent,

2. White neckwear, soft and fluity. Lace. Linterio effects. Bofl furs, like wolf and fox, that absorb scent.

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

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

to.

They're much too highly individuai

In their appeal to be counted upon to please a gentleman's

fancy. 5. Sulta that have sofe feminine rather than the stiff collar and vent harshness of men's own apparel,

6. Good taste. Women who wear bright colours and extreme fashion may catch the masculine eye. but steady-going men of refinement are unconfortable with a woman who is conspicuously dressed.

7. Simplicity. Fussy clothes with too many butions and buck- les and tricks slay men.

DaintIness and fastidiousness: A ull or shoulder strap showing, a hem out, the tiniest spot, thrown men luto. a panie.

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 smail party a "alt-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]
