There's a lot OF work done in
producing q pound of honey.
In the form of nectar. as thin as
water, the bees collect IT from the
flowers, drop by drop. and carry 1t
in their honey sacks to the hive and
deposit it In the honey comb. which
they make from pure beeswax.
(Beeswax itself they make from
honey. Then they "ripen' it, by
tanning II with their wings until II
has become thick, and much Of thy

ripened. they put an alright cap

HAMLET's (REVIsED) ADVICE TO WOMEN
aR575s51S557Ss5

If Hamlet in his famous advice
to the players had been addressing
women, he might well have said,
"Suit the occasion to the frock;
the frock to the occasion" With
all the boyish insouciance of the
mode, there are times when GER
tain amount of dignity must be
mixed with our sportiveness. 1t
may be meeting an old friend after
ten years, or taking ones hus-
bands great aunt to q concert, or
an argument with ones modiste.
On all such occasions where ones
must be beyond reproach and at
the same time be sufficiently strik-
ing to make the desired impress
ion, one could not go wrong by
donning this distinctive coat frock
of black Mirrolrepe, a lustrous
heavy crepe satin from the South
Manchester looms. Its long grace
full lines are agreeably interrupted
by a border of grey Mirrokrepe
(which also continues up the side
on which the dress fastens.
Az additional attraction is the
graceful scarf and wrist knots of
the grey material which give a
pleasing relief to the plain lines
of the costume. These accessories
can be taken off at will, depending
on the austerity demanded by the
occasion. The effective turban
which fittingly compliments this
elegant ensenl Die is made Of the
same lustroug black NiiroSrepe. as
the dress with a band OF grey
crossing The front.
Henri Creange tells US that a
touch of sapphire blue with. white
or black costumes is much favored
in Paris. Madame shows her fine
sense of color values by adding a
touch of sapphire blue in her ear
rings, her cabochon sapphire ring.

and on her shoes.
