STYLE FOR MlLADY is
A BEADED WRAP

From London comes the news that
beaded wraps are very much in
vogue just now One represents
charming variation of the ever-popu-
lar alliance of black and white. the
outer yelling of the cloak being
fashioned of matblack net enriched
with a border of bead embroidery.
This is carried out in gunmetal and
crystal pinhead beads closely sewn
together and picked out with crystal
bugles.
The net is further enriched with a
tracery of silver leaves veined with
gunmetal beads, among which peep
out Rhine and Parma violet bios
SONS worked in chenille, while show
ers Of tiny crystals, like summer
rain, and minute bead stars likewise
glistening on the net, embody a
scheme of decoration which Is verita

Notwithstanding its diaphanous
exterior, however the cloak is a de-
cidedly coy one. for 1t is lined with

Sometimes when | am around you

cold lizard Of despair crawling down
my back-uncouth fears like thou

you to see the inside OF my soul

lamb on bleak hillside. l am
dying to fly to your presence and

maple. Circassian, walnut or golden
oaks rich in reds, browns and vel

these colors are robbed of all their
warmth, and appear garish, flat and
cold Under a yellow light they
appear richer, and scratches and
blemishes are not perceptible.

Here is a puzzle for women!
If there is one thing more than
another which they believe to be
good for preserving the complexion
it is massage Yet one of New
Yorks leading physicians has just
uttered a strong warning against
he practice,
Massage is a very bad thing"
she says. The effort to improve
the skin should commence inside
not outside.
Massage hastens the very evil it
IS intended to correct. for it actual
ly brings wrinkles
There is delicate little tissue
which draws together TIE skin cells
of the face and keeps them firm.
By succession of violent rubbings
this tissue is broken down and de
stroyed, so that there are left flabbF.
