TOPICS AND TRIFLES Now matter how our thoughts turn to the simple life, the creators of new fashions seek to complicate our existence. It is the handkerchief now! It should have a touch of the same colour that you favour for your buttonhole in its border, it seems, or it must be carefully chosen to go with the waistcoat you wear, or seem to wear, since the jumper manufacturers have hastened to give us waistcoat jumpers. Our Chameleon Complexions And it is quite impossible, I hear, to be content with one kind of powder! “You see,” one of our beauty specialists, told me the other day, “in town you should have a smooth, clear pale skin; a week-end in the country in the strong sunlight makes this look all wrong. Yoei are in comparison with country girls with nice brown skins, so you use a very dark shade of powder and of rouge, if you need it, and achieve something a little like the real healthy thing! One powder for town and another for the golf course is essential for the well-groomed woman.” dance: suppers What is the ideal supper to choose at a dance party after the theatre? Opinions differ, but I heard this menu hailed with glee at a certain party one evening:— Grape fruit, with a dash of maraschino. Each was topped with a cocktail cherry. 1 Mixed grill with game chip potatoes. Black grapes. The mixed grill was very much mixed, for it included cutlets,' sausages, kidneys, stuffed tomatoes, mushrooms and bacon! POISE The adjective “knowledgable” looks like being as popular as “devastating” or “terribly” used to be, and the new word of praise or the quality a woman must have, apparently, both mentally and physically, is “poise.” It is essential for a good tennis player, for showing a horse at the horse show, for dancing the newest rhythmic dance, for coming into a room, for a successful flirtation, or for being a good woman of business. “She has poise” is the nicest thing you can say about a woman at the moment. SEEN WHEN DANCING When you wear a black frock nowadays it must have something outstanding about its line. Very long streamers of lace from the shoulder—quite half a dozen, and several inches below the skirt —are popular. Then j there is the skirt which shows the knees in front and almost hides the ankles at the back. These are ugly, but they are likely to be fashionable. The plain gold collar has now a tiny onyx or diamond or enamel monogram on it — not necessarily your own. Some people wear the initials of the donor, but it’s rather compromising so to do! Give the water fish was boiled in to the rose-bushes; it is excellent for them. Equal quantities of methylated spirit and vinegar will remove marks from polished tables.
