1t isn't easy to find the incest
suit in a collection, since almost
every model is most attractive.
But one such suit that will soon
leave the shop is of tweed, in a
tapestry weave in wine and black.
The rather loose SWagger coat is
almost full-length and has a
notched collar and Tuxedo reverS
of black Alaska seal.
Come along and see what you'll
be wearing come autumn. A new
suit of velvety black woolen has
a long jacket fitted at the waist
line and trimmed with a big silver
fox collar which extends to long
broad borders on either side of
the jacket.
Sighted everywhere in the fash
ion picture is the tunic. For after
noon wear we have now the
princess fitted tunic of fur with
flare accented by fur borders. One
lovely model is of fine black cara
cul with border of silver fox that
curves up the front to the waist.
A starring appearance each
time it is worn, day or evening,
should be the lot of a full length
cape of sleek black caracul. 1t
has envelope shoulders, Sits for
the arms, and a black silk rope
tie beneath the collar, the latter
repeating the pointed shoulder de-
tail.

When 1 entered the apart

night, I knew that some pur-

was excelsior sprinkled around
the waste basket, and much
brown wrapping paper crum-

Jane was in the kitchenette

She held up a cleaning new
electric percolator with a black

"Oh yes, we did, Mary got it
for Christmas but it didn't work.
1t was an autOmatic-turned off
after five minutes of perking and
1 guess we didn't treat it with
proper respect or something be-
cause it refused to perk."

Hats must be designed" she
explained, Gin accordance with a
woman's mood, particularly as it
is reflected in her eyes. Feminine
faces are much, much brighter
this year. so women want hats
that will match this spirit, that
will emphasize the brightness and
sparkling colorS Of their eyes.
VivaciousnesS is the keynote"
Gay With Flowers
AS examples of the latest modes,
Nine. Dache showed a number OF
new creations in which gay
flowers predominated. Her salon,
where she designs hats for Joan
Crawford, Marlene Dietrich,
Gladys Swarthout, Carole Lom'
bard, and a legion Of celebrities
from the stage and social ranks,
was strewn with startling red car
nations, wood violetS, and corn
flowers. Hats of intriguing colors
and enhancing shapes were every
where some were constructed
wholly OF flowers, some were of
Florentine straw, still others were
made of nothing but coarse net,
with a tiny bunch Of orchids to
be worn just aboVe the hairline.
Must FIatter Eyes
"FIower trimmings must be
chosen so as to flatter and en-
phasize the particular color of a
wOman's eyes, of course" said
Nine. Dache. "The shape of the
hat, too, can bring out their
hidden beauties. The hat line
should follow closely the contour
of the face and should extend
over the eyes in front. A tiny
veil of the type that is becOm-
ing more and more popular is a
subtle way of bringing attention
to the most important feature Of
a woman'S face. A stalk Of
flowers straight up from the brim
in front also gives a flattering

Dache. Vivid blue flowers or
feathers can be srnartly used by
the blue-eyed girl for example,
and deep reds are appropriate
for the brown-eyed miss.
Nine. Dache declared that the
gay note in hats is very marked
in Paris and other European cap
itals. While most Of her spring
designs were shown before her
recent voyage abroad. she said
she found that French fashions
have also adopted the vivacious.

Beauty
Skin PeeHng Is
Delicate
By DONNA GRACE

We are receiving the usual num-
ber Of requests for the inStruc-
tions in skin peeling, and it may
be advisable to tell you something
about the operation.
First Of sll, we do not class it
as a home beauty treatment and
never give instructions for even
simple routires. 1t is not a dan
gerouS operation at all, and should
be a marvellous way of removing
coarse, freckled or tanned skin.
Many women make a practice
of having these treatments occa-
sionally, and there is always a
marked improvement in their
faces for some time after the
treatments.
Plastic surgeons have regular
clients for this who have one or
two light peels year, and some
of the salons specialize in these
treatments.
There are also preparations for
mild peeling put up with instruc-
tionS for home use. The usual
peel, wherA done by an expert, will
often cause a stinging pain or at
least acute tenderness of the
skin. There is not really any Suf-
fering except when the liquid is
applied. This will be the rather
Stinging sensation for only a mo-
ment or Sc. The plastic surgeons
usually do the face and neck at
different times.
The treatment is usually applied
over a period of two days with an
application every hour. The face
will become syollen, and in about
five days the outer skin may be
ready to be removed. An expert
knows just when and how to re-
move this dry skin and also the
soothing creams to protect the
sensitive tissues.
The skin peels will not perma-
nently remove deep wrinkles, but
are filled out and seem to disap-
pear for a while. The skin may be
sensitive in spots that become af
fected before the whole area, and
this is one reason why an expert
should supervise the work.
Too frequent applications may
result in blisters that are slow in
clearing up, so let the professional
take the full responsibility and the
results will be satisfactory.
