 Of course it is. But life Is sinf-' ply a series of instances which can be met efficiently or haphazardiy.

Fads and Fashions

The short full skirt is undoubt-
 edly the leader for all occasions.
 Long cords and tassels stream
 rom the ends of the round muffs. Whlte and color are usually com
 olned in the smartest new waists. Detachable fur collars and cuffs
 are good idea for ones winter suit Nadine and metal are the accept
 ed materials for evening or "dressy" hats
 There are some siuts with coats ders.
 While some frocks declare a waist line, others equally fashionable have none.
 Balls and pompons are made of
 fur; they are jaunty trimming for the new hat.
 Flesh pink, used discreetly and in 'oiAiNAA IouCleS, IldS an excellent erect with dark blue. Unless you are tall and slender, De careful how you place trimming
 on the bottom of your skirts. Things
 running round the skirt tend to thick
 en the appearance. It IS fitting to have especially de- signed undergarments to wear with the evening dress. The camisoIe and
 pettlcoat combined and made of f1esh-colored pussy-willow taffeta is perhaps the most satisfactory.
 The young girls school dress may be heightened by setting in, halfway up the skirt, broad band of con-
 trasting material; repeat this same material in a quilting around the bottom of the skirt, put touch on
 the waist and you have a very chic little frock.

Robust Bloom of Youth

delicate peach-like bloom. Is one OF
the Creators most exquisite works
when the first blush of youth is ove.,
this beautiful tint and satiny 1ustre
are rarely seen. How to preserve
the.n-that's the question. Famous
beauty experts abroad long have
known that ordinary mercolized wax
works wonders in this direction. 1t
actually gives a new surface to the
skin. restoring that marvellous Eirlish
color and softness in a remarkable
manner. An ounce Of this wax, pro-
durable at any drugstore, will convert
a faded, freckled. wornout or discol-
ored complexion into one OF captivat- :
ing loveliness in less than two weeks
No special skill is necessary in apply
ing the wax, 1T being smeared on at
night like cold cream and washed off
in the morning.
To remove wrinkles. %r delay their
formation, a face bath made by dis

fully effcacious. This tones up re-
laxed skin. causing it to remain firm
