SALE TIME,

We read' of a great sale of all sorts of good things at Lowers. Charming chapeaux and any amount of warm and cosy “woollies” just the thing for this Antarctic weather. Many delectable, things are to b 0 seen displayed for the attraction of the busy economic shopper. FILM FASHIONS FOR WINTER WEAR. DEEP RED IS FASHIONABLE. According to fashion, experts at the Paramount Holywood studios, deep red will he one 0 f the prevailing colours this, winter. Fay Wray 1 popular Paramount player, selected a frock of that colour for wear in her latest picture for Paramount, “Thunderbolt”, - an

all-talkie, starring Georg© Bancroft. The material chosen is. fl;vt crepe, and the frock has a jumper doted with, dull gold discs. The new side pleating is used in the phriu skirt, and Miss Wray; has a matching felt hat and dull red pump s to complete the ensemble. SILK=KNIT SUIT. A fashion that has. been popular for several years is the three-piece ensemble, and in its new form it is to he fashioned from silk-kidt material.

Lonise Brooks, the popular young Paramount artist, who is appearing in “The Canary Murder Case”, which is now running iifl all States in Australia and also in Auckland*. New Zealand, has chosen a_ charming suit .of mocca brown, .with a hejge jumper piped in the deeper shade.. The suite is perfectly plain and just’the firing for, those cool nights, ' says Miss Brooks. dance and be beautiful. One of tht finest beauty aids for the complexion and figure is dancing. Ballroom dancing is helpful but Greek dancing is even better. Greek and operatic dancing include movements necessary for beauty culture, the exercises being splendid for poise and balance. They also act as hip-reducers. Polk dancing is also a'pleasant means to an end, The spirit of these dances is so youthful that one cannot help working up an- enthusiasm about them. The girl who is keen on dancing usually has a good skin and bright eyes. Business girls will find dancing a help in keeping healthy. Much of their wirk is of a sedentary nature, perhaps standing, and, though tiring, standing is not exercise. Dancing movements can be carried on in the bedroom. Try them to a lilting tune on the gramophone, and the dreariness of set exercise will vanish.

If there is no class where Greek or operatic dancing is taught, a few girls might club together and get a local teacher to have a class one night a week.

These particular forms of dancing will correct such defects as round shoulders, ungainly hips, and narrow chests. Above all, the exercises give grace and a distinctive carriage that enables a woman to stand out from a crowd. Another point is that these dances make the balh-oom dancer a better one. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Never place a sponge in the sun to dry, as this will cauaa it to rot. For obstinate grease maiTcs on wallpaper use fuller’s earth. Dust it over the spot, leave for a time then brush off.' If necessary, repeat the process. Grease can be removed from the hair by washing it in warm water to which a teaspoonful of borax has been added. For removing the hot lids of aluminium saucepans I find that a spring clothes peg answers the purpose admirably It can be left on the handle or lid if required.
