Adding Wrinkles

Every time that you confess, even to yourself, that you are •‘dead-tired,” you have added another wrinkle to your face, and taken some of the bloom off your skin. A few hours’ sleep every night is not sufficient. You should try to get at least half an hour's rest during the day. There is another mistake that the modern girl is very apt to make, and that is in wearing too few clothes. When you begin to feel the cold, you are at once lowering your vitality, and when you lower your vitality you lower your standard of beauty. Be assured that if you over-exercise and under-clothe yourself, you are j on the high road to becoming wrinkled i old hags! Don’t overdo games and exercise . generally. Keep tit, keep warm with- ; out being “stuffy,” and you will not ' need so many creams and lotions for your face. GAY "MACS" ADD BRIGHTNESS TO DULL DAYS If you have a few shillings to spare. | buy a nice gay “mac.” Alas! you ! are always bound to need it, so it is I best to be bright about it. i The crepe de chine mackintoshes are delightful affairs, and not so very exj pensive now. You can get them in j ‘ such bright, happy colours, and they j j are warm as well as light to wear, j But if you simply cannot manage j ; one of the all-silk “macs,” there are ! ! many cheaper varieties in artificial j ! silk that boast a lovely sheen, and j look just as nice. And you can buy j | these at most shops for the proverbial 1 song. A DARNING CASE Take a wide strip of brocaded ribbon. On either edge is sewn a strip of black satin ribbon, divided into pockets of the correct size to hold a card of mending. And at one end. between the pockets, a four-inch piece of the ribbon is sewn on, and a strip of cardboard slipped in to give stiffness. This, with some leaves of white i nun’s-veiling, and a little cover of the ribbon, forms a needlebook. To make such a case, about 23 , inches of brocaded ribbon nine inches i wide is required, and just over a yard l and a-half of black satin ribbon, two and a-quarter inches wide.
