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 modelling.

2. Insist upon good clean necklines.

3. Favour clear blues, belges and

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

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

tleated cut are good, too.

3. An all-black dress has a Little-

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.

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

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