Examples inMetal and Bronze
Extant That Date Back
to Iistory's Dawn

Much might be written of oil
lamps and lanterns Of which there
ale many interesting curios They
are varied, too, for they cover o.
large field reaching from almost pre-
historic times to the present day.
Many lamps of metal and bronze
have survived and are found in
our museums side by side with the
still earlier examples of terra-cotta
and crude pottery.
At present there is a craze among
certain class of collectors fer
acquiring glass coal-oil lamps, the
kind one still meets In country
districts where the electric light
has not yet penetrated. The curio-
dealer has already relegated the
glass coal-oil lamp into the category
Of antiques.
The collector finds his most In.
teresting examples in lamps which
have been made, the outcome OF
the candle and of the candle.lamp
which was gradually evolved. Many
of these early candle-iamps were
adaptations of old candlesticks. II
would appear that the idea Of en-
closing q candle in horn lantern
and thereby securing greater steadi-
ness on account of its being pro.
tected from the wind and draughtE,
which had already been adopted,
suggested a. glass cup or protection
to the candle on the table.
1t is quite likely that the first
experiments were made with
broken cup of porcelain with the
bottom knocked out, for the earliest
examples seem to have taken that
form, the cup-like vessels being
gradually confined more and nore
at the top and the bottom.
The idea OF a candle-clock occurred
to seventeenth century candlestick-
makers, who marked the edges Of
the lamp on the framework so that
as the candles burned low they
marked the hours. The burning.
would be more or less irregular,
but the marks on the candle-cl9cks
would be some guide. and served
their purpose in days when the
time of day was less moment thai
it is now.

chief lighting medium; was once
more in the ascendant when In the
eighteenth century oil lamps gradH-
ally took the place of candles. til

lighting was unknown. Lanterns
were carried in the hand and the

An old edition Of The Spectator
relates an anedote of one having

Lace And Satin 
 Z Ore ss

A girl l know made herself lovely dress of satin and lace. The satin was left from another frock she had made, but there was only a small amount, :. and yet when the dress was made half of lace, the satin was sufficient The lace is very fine black insertion, about five inches wide, and the statin is cut to about the same width. All the way down to a point just below the knees the dress is the same width, but at the. bottom 6 wider flounce of satin kathered on to the last line of lace gives plenty of width to the skirt for walking.
 The sleeves are not really sleeves at all, but merely the continuation of the neckline. The armholes and neck openings are carefully bound with a bias fold of satin, and a straight band of the satin makes the belt, which is fastened at the side beneath a ruffled wheel of lace
 If one has not already got the satin to make the dress, wide satin ribbon could take its place to form the bands nicely. The only objection would be that the ribbon might not come wide enough for the founce at the bottom, and in this case wide lase flounce would have to take the place of the satin.

My skin is the marvel of millions. Even softer and more rosy than 40 years ago. Yet mine is grandmother's age.
 Mine has been no easy life. l have lived it in the limelight. l served France five years in the rigors of the war. Yet countless young girls envy my complexion. I can easily pass for 19.
 France gave me the methods l em- ploy. Now, in gratitude, am supply ing them to others. They multiplied my beauty, gave me perennial youth Now I hope to bring to millions the benefits I got.
 How I keep clean
 The first step to beauty is a clean skin-a skin that is clean to the depths. Lucie Lantelme, a famous Parisian beauty, taught me how to get it.
 The method is a liquid cleanser. l call it my Facial Youth. It contains no animal, no vegetable fat. So it can- not grow hair on the face. It cannot assimilate in any way with the skin. But it penetrates every pore. When I wipe it off, all the dirt and grime, all that clogs the skin comes with it.
 You may think you clean your skin without it, but you don't. Apply Fa- cial Youth to what you call clean skin

THE TREND OF FASHION
NY this time it is possible to
 < have a fairly well defined

n have fairly well deflneo 0 idea of the influences that will prevail in the modes of spring and it is a wise plan to begin to formulate in ones mind a clothes plan of action. In other words to decide upon the essentials necessary to wardrobe that will allow one to be perfectly and correctly dressed upon all occasions.
 This does not mean that 1t IS necessary to have lot of clothes but it implies that everything bought should be selected with a definite purpose.
 The fashion of having coat to match a frock is in a way rather an economical one, especially if both are of heavy crepe or in black satin which is so smart this season. The long lines of the coat and it's flattering touches of fur at neck and sleeves make it an appropriate garment to wear on many occasions over other dresses. Particularly at- tractive are coats of heavy black satin trimmed with white fur and decorated with fine white braiding or dull silver galloon.
 The model illustrated exemplifies the vogue for black and white and in its combination of white crepe de chine and black satin is one of the most interesting opponents of this color scheme. To wear over this is a slim straight coat of satin with a tiny upstanding collar of er- mine. Fur extends in a narrow band down each side of the front and next to the fur is placed an
 inch-wide band of silver braid.
