NANETTE NOTICES

HERE AND THERE (B,y “Nanette.”) Florencel Sandwich. Cut white bread in small, thin rounds and spread with creamed butter. On this spread a layer of cream cheese, moistened to spreading consistency it' necessary with a little cream. In the centre of the cheese lay a piece of pimento the size of a sixpence. From this radiate like flower petals five slices of black olives. Gay Curtains. I 1 or duller days we need curtains that let in the maximum amount of light and look dainty and cheerful. Hutchins’ Furniture Warehouse, 311 Main Street East, have just received a new shipment of frilled muslin, with pastel coloured spots or stripes on backgrounds of fawn and cream. Prices I are 2s 6d, 2s lid and 3s 6d yard. * | Eggs as a PacK. ! °. nc type of bleaching pack has egg as its basis. The advantage of eggmasks is that, apart from the action o[ bleaching, they also clean and soften the skm in a wonderful manner. You will require the white of a fresh egg. some almond meal, and some rosewater. Place the white of the egg in a cup ; and add enough liical to make a thick 1 paste. Then add a little rose-water, I drop by drop, until the paste is like a | thick, smooth cream. Then procure a I piece of clean lint the size of your! face, cut small pieces out for your I eyes and nostrils, spread the paste on I tlie lint, and then spread the whole! over your face. Now wring out a towel in hot water and wrap this around the, face, and keep applying these towels [ for about ten minutes. Finally rinse : i the face with clean warm water, j j finishing with cold water. Dry the skin j, and then applying a little nourishing . cream. ' j Figure Beauty. U You may not have a beautiful profile . £ and it would be very hard to alter the 1 s shape of your nose, hut there is no j e I reason why you should not have a i I beautiful slim figure. If yours is in- 1 c Iplined to spread visit the Turkish Baths | | in the Bogent Arcade. Their course of ; c | treatment will soon remove those un- ’ v wanted pounds. ' * j Daffodil and Black. |tl A dress in fine brown wool, worn bv s< a pretty girl recently at a . cocktail party ill London, won admiration—it s( was of soft black wool. Long ends of r I daffodil velvet came from the collar, is these ends being tucked into the front

- of the bodice- A loose jacket, short, , and lined with daffodil crepc-de-eliine r and edged with shell-shaped pieces of s astrakhan, was worn with it, and the ; same patterned fur edged the turn- ' i down collar. The small folded black t I satin hat had a narrow yellow quill \ j aslant in the front. jThe Well-groomed Woman. . These days a higher standard of appearance is expected from women whether in business or at home. But perfect grooming can only be obtained | with the help of an expert. Mr Campbell of the P.D.C. beauty salon is a graduate of the Belle Vue Hairdressing Academy, Edinburgh, and specialises in' permanent waving, tinting, and facials. Silhouette. Continental silhouettes show the pencil line, sometimes topped with bulky-looking jackets, sometimes with long plain coats with a ripple of sable , or skunk at the throat for collar, and tube-like tunic coats collared with fur, and generally with a muff.to match. Individual Hats. No ensemble is complete- without an appropriate hat which must be up-to the minute in design if it is to make you look your best. Individual styles of perfect fit and quality can be selected from the large range at lvitty i Braden’s Millinery Salon, corner' of Fitzlierbert Avenue and the Square. * For the Ball. I saw a Chanel creation the other day which would be extremely suitable to wear at a hunt ball, in contrast to the brilliant scarlet coats of the men, says a London writer. It was of white chiffon, 1 sparkling with white sequins, and was to he worn with;a white tulle veil sewn with sequins as a headdress. It is the fashion to rustle nowadays, the revival of a mode which always held a fascination in early Edwardian times. Lengths of taffetas for these rustling petticoats, or. slips as they are called, are to be had at bargain prices at the sales, and they are so easy to make now that one can requisition the services of the pleatcr and hemstitcher for a few pciic-c. “The frou-frou of feminine skirts” has ii meaning once more after

l° n £ years. If'you desire a chiffon frock, remember that you must have literally yards and yards of the soft material, for it has to be gathered and shirred and tucked and finished with picot edged draperies in the form of floating veils and capes and sashes. A black velvet gown is more than ever a standby now that the uncrushable variety has been/perfected. It may be trimmed with Venetian, Guipure or Limerick lace, and the deep frill of lace held out by short puffed sleeves gives an attractive effect.

New Stockings. Accessories are important, so let * be in keeping with your clothes. With the new shorter skirts stockings are particularly prominent, but you can obtain all the new winter shades at the Scotch Wool and Hosiery Shop, the Square. Their stockings come from only the most reliable firms and are durable and low priced. * Some Ways with Eggs.
