Maggy Rouff shows an evening ‘gown in midnight blue crepe which is printed in large tulips varying in made from bluish rose to deep- est pin-pie. The dreee is extremely simple in lino io give play to the colorful print, has square shoulder trimmed in front with been

The "Porllline Cocktail”

Glennie Lcrmer. the mull-sins young Ga/umont actress, has adopted quite a new idea in make-up. Instead of having all her creams andpowdcn inths same perfume she has ecoh one scented differently, but perfectly balanced so that the whole blend "cocktail." For instance, her cleansing cream is perfumed with lilac, the founda- tion cream is both peach in color and in scent, the powder is an Eastern pot-pourrl, the skin-food is hyacinth, and the astringent has the clean, cool scent of which hazel. .

A WOMAN WHO HATEBJIATS

._.__.

It is unsual to find a woman expzesslng her dislike of hats. Grete Mtmheim, the Continental

actress who is now making her fast film at, Shepherd's Bush, has given vent to her feelings con- cerning them-

“They just don't suit me," she said, "and I suppose because they don't suit me I dislike them. It may be a sorg of Jealousy. Per haps I am envious, but seriously. I think the present-day hats must be designed by someone who hates wo- men. They are terrible. They look as though a storm Md blown 0V8!‘ them.”

WORK WITH YOUR HEAD

Many people do not regard housework as being in any W05’ mental work, yet a lnndml Wriifl‘ says, I m quite conviced that by using our heads, as well as our hands, we shouldsave ourselves .10 end of work, while at the Same time many household tasks would become far more interesting and less monotonous than when d0!!! in a purely mechanical way with- out any thought at all.

To illustrate this point let US take the weekly wash as a good example. At first glance hansins out the clothes does not seem to call for a great deal of brainwork on our part, but believe me, a few thoughts on the subpect will save quite a lot of ironing. to say noth- lng of a good deal of shrinkage.

When clothes or household arti- cles are pegged out just anyhow theydryalloutofshapeand in many cases where dainty or dell- cate materials are in question, the damage done to them in this way will pretty nearly ruin them, owing to the fact that the weaving be- comes so unduly stretched. There- fore, i; is necewary to see that they are first of all pulled into shape and next hung on the line Pm- pezlly, so that they will not pull or dry crooked.‘

Woollies need special care in this respect and as they are apt to be very heavy when wet, these should always be supported so that they do not get stretched out or recog- nition. Woollis should be awfully carefully pulled into shape both ways. for if this is not done while they are wet, you may find that though they are quite all right in breadth they are quite lmpowlble in length, or vice versa.

Then again when we come to rolling up the clothes ready for ironing a little thought will save alotofwork; torollthirlgsupafly- how will result in their having myriads of tiny creases in them, all of which, remember, we have to iron out again! Do not begrudge the few minutes spent in folding articles up carefully, for it pays in

the long run. You cm apply this ides to prmlmlly all household tasks.

and_ personally I am convinced that when it comes to really sav- ing labour in the home, a little thought has many of the so- called labour saving gadget: beaten completely!

A Long Engagement is a Mistake, Says One School of Thought; the Way to be Happy Though Married is to Wed ‘While Honey Moon is High — Contrari- wise, Retorts Opposition, the the Longer the Wedding ‘is Put off the Less Chance of Mak- ing a Mistake

The length of an engagements generally depends upon outside cir- oumstances rather than the desire of the high-contracting parties. Of course there are stories of dllatory suitors who have played around the altar, without over making the grade, for fif- teen or twenty years, presumably on the prin- ciple of the man who kept putting off his wed- ding because he said he would have no pleas- ant place in which to spend his evenings if he married his fiancee.

Th impulse of most lov rihowever, ls to rush o to the church as quic ly as possiblfl. and so when the average couple of young peo- ple drag "out the linked sweetness of a long en- gagement it is seldom because they have a. morbid taste for a perpetual courtship but be- cause of material conditions

Generally it is because they lack the price of a wedding ring or the man is going lo some

place’ to seek his fortune where a wife would be a handicap or he has not finished his professional training or there are family obligations - old fathers and mothers to be supported, younger brothers and sisters to be educated -— that have made them put ofl the realization of love's young

dream.

as long engagements are almost always a matter of necessity and not of choice, it seems superfluous to discuss their effect upon marital happiness. Yet it is a question that is vitally important, especially to the youths and maidens of our day, when, whether we like it or not, we have to consider the high cost of loving.

Inasmuch, then,

Many a young man in these times of depression has to face the prob- lem of whether to tell a girl of his love or conceal it and let it prey on his damaged checkbook. And many a girl has to decide on the Wifidom 0! cutting herself off from all other chances o! matrimony and entering into a waiting contract, that has no time limit on it, with a man who may

Of course as with everything else in life there are two sides to the long engagement question and both have their points. One school of thought holds that the long engagement is desirable because it gives a coup e B chance to really get to know each other so that they find out before he fatal knot is tied all of each others little weaknesses and peculiarities and so are saved from the disillusloning revelations that wreck so many mar- rlages.

They contend that no man could be engaged to’ a girl for four or flve years without finding out whether their opinions and views on life libed or not; whether she bored or entertained him and what sort of disposition and temper she p- sessed.

Nor, thy say, could even a Dumb Dora keep company with a man over a long period of time without ascertaining whether he was generous or a tlghtwad; whether he was considerate and tender or a selfish egotist; whe- ther they liked the same style of cooking and had the same taste in motion pictures.

That seems a reasonable argument in favor of the long engagement, but, alas! experience gives it the lie. For no matter how much a man and woman know each other before marriage, they find out after mar- riage that they are united to little acquainted as if they had wed a recognized by his or her wearing o. white carnation on the left lapel.

And they say that the man who asls a girl to wait for him when he

Very few of the flowers in our gardens have such a long pedigree as the rose, which is often called "The Queen of Flowers." Roses have bloomed in every part of the world for ages.

The ancient Greeks, who were great lovers of beauty, used the rose as a symbol. 'I‘hey dedicated it to Venus as an emblem of beauty, and to Cupid as an emblem of love. The Romans used the rose a great deal. They decorated their houses and flavoured their food and wine with

When she walked into the nospf- tal her face was set and white but she had regained her compasura.

“I'm Mrs. Temple," she said quietly to the nurse at the desk.
