with the little pamphlets they had

The checked suit above is
a Victor Stiebel creation,
Stiebel who is famous for his
London suits. It is in bold
black, red, green and white
checks, with a black blouse.
The tweed is cleverly worked
on the bias, in the skirt and
parts of the jacket. The
black is picked up in the &C
cessories too.
Typical of Moiyneux is the
graceful, lively cut of the
dark suit above. It is of
navy lightweight wool, the
skirt circular and pleated
and the short jacket nipped
in at the waist with one but
ton. With it, a white hat
with blue veil, white gloves,
white corded mat rayon
blouse, fastened with a busi-
nessike row of plain dark
buttons.
The long sweep of Schia-
parelli's new cape, fitted
close at the top, with
straight, almost pointed
shoulders is seen in the pic
ture below. Both cape and
suit are cut from a two
faced Linton Scotch tweed,
amber plaid inside, navy blue
outside. The skirt flares
slightly, and over it goes a
short jacket bound round
the edge with plated leather.
The buttons, also in leather,
are round and polished. All
these clothes are available in
a local store. Call District

True, clothes are often selected
pretty much that way, but we
merely gaze at them in the pages
of our favorite fashion magazine.
1t is rarely that they come to our
town actually, or that we can find
the whole costume, even if we can
find part Of it.
Famous Committee
But, this year, the tailored mode,
costume by costume, as selected by
a famous committee is about to be
presented to us. When Carmel
Show, editor of Harper's Bazaar,
was in Paris for the recent open
ings. she organized an interna-
tional fashion committee. COM
posed of Schiaparelli, Molyneux,
Chanel. Mainbocher, Victor Stiebel
and others.
This committee selected seven
outstanding tailored costum S
from the Paris openings. They Sc
lected them complete, from hat to
shoes. They are illustrated in the
March issue of Harper's Bazaar.
They were promptly imported and
copied, each piece, each accessory,
accurately and perfectly.

paper together and ties it firmly
in place.
If the servings are large, uses
a separate paper for each serv-
ing. Then plunges the fish in
kettle of boiling water. 1t takes
from to Is minutes to cook the
fish.
The time should be judged by
the thickness of the fish steaks
and the variety of fish. The fish
is served with the juices extracted
during the cookery.
She also confided that she was
also very fond of salt mackerel.
Her favorite method of cooking
this is broiling, with much bast-
ing with butter.
Tomorrow they promise a new
salad and ice cream recipe that
is very quickly made.

Essential
Good Plan to Place
Table Near
Window.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

lnNE of the leading home lighting
~ specialists in the country read my
article on makeup recently (the one
about the Importance Of proper light
| and the dressing table, and volun-
teered the following information which
I think is so full Of important hints
that I am happy to pass 1t on to my
readers.
You want your mirrors to tell the
truth so that you can see yourself
as others will see you. What many
women fail to realize is that mirrors
tell the truth only according to their
light.
Happily, it is not only wise but
fashionable to place the dressing table
before a window. Interior decorators
indorse and recommend this vogue.
The daylight view Is usually very
satisfactory because the light is shed
in quantities upon you and into the
room beyond as well. The mirror re-
fleets a detailed image, sometimes
almost startlingly because light acts
as magnifier.
But at night, though you may use
large bulbs in your dressing table
lamps, you may find that you really
can't see. Even when you lean for
ward nearer the mirror the light
seems to strike you in spots and as
a result you see only parts Of your
face or gown. These parts are high
lighted, the rest in shadow. Later, in
better light, you find to your dismay
that locks of hair are straying. that
your cheeks are just bit too healthy
and your lips lop-sided.
Being able to see at the dressing
table really isn't difficult to accom-
plish If you bear in mind that you are
trying to achieve generous and
uniform light as near as possible to
the effect of daylight. Don't try to
light the mirror. It's yourself you
want to see. Turn on some other
lighting in the room. This will make
it easier for you to see yourself than
we're you silhouetted against dark
background of the room.
Also be sure that the lamps are
about level with the face to give you
the light where you want 1t most-on
your head and shoulders. II you
want to see from where you sit with
out going through contortions, place
your lamps with this in mind, whether
the lamps are standing lamps, units
built into the wall, brackets hung each
side of the mirror or dresser, etc.
There should be lamp on either side
Of you so that you'll be lighted evenly
on both sides.
