.Camouflage Bests
Enemies of Beauty

A NY woman can lose weight
"A If she wants to. Anyone can
put on few pounds-if she wants
to.
But there are few beauty flaws
that simply cannot be corrected,
easily or otherwise. Such problems
must be solved by camouflsge.
For example. If your hips are
abnormally wide, due to bone
structure and not to excess pound
age, the only sensible thing to do
is choose clothes which make your
shoulders seem much, much wider
than they are. And you must re-
fuse to wear skirts which fit too
snugly over the hips. Dressmaker
swim suits with flaring skirts will
be in order. Fullness in your
pleated and gored skirts will start
at the waistline instead OF below
the hipline.
You won't wear horizontal stripes
or Stacks, however well cut, or
shorts. You'll avoid pencil-slim
dinner gowns which mold the fig
ure from throat to below thighs.
You'll avoid also extremely wide,
conspicuous belts and plain, severe
necklines. You need bulk at the
top to balance the width across
hipline. Finally neckwear and mas
sive necklaces will be your forte.
There's nothing you can do to
change the shape of your jaw,
either. You can reduce a double
chin. of course, but you can't do
away with heaviness that comes
from size of jawbone.
GO you'll soften that jawline by
~ wearing your hair fairly long,
with plenty of fullness below and
just behind ears. You'll expert

necklines until you discover effects

GOOD TASTE
TODAY

There are two practical answers
To the often asked question How
long is a guest supposed TO remain
after dinner when there is no en-
tertainment other than conserva-
ton ," The first answer: When
the conversation begins 10 lag. II
is time to think about going. The
second answer is the not very
definite rule of time: from two to
about two and half hours after
the hour set for dinner. and about
an hour and a quarter or half
after lunch. That is. If you were
asked to a seven o'clock dinner,
you leave about half past nine. II
lunch IL half past one O'Clock,
you leave between quarter to
three and three. But this means
of course if you are not staying to
play bridge. or for any other rea-
son that your hostess may have
for counting on you to remain.
Carrying Rules to Ridiculous
Extremes
Dear Mrs. Post: just how i'm
portant are gloves when entering
the dining room of a large hotel?
The situation was this Several OF
us went to the big city for the
day. We went to this large hotel
and sat in the ladies lounge TO rest
when it was decided to have our
lunch in the hotel. One of the
ladies had taken off her gloves
and before we left she put them
back on again. When asked why,
she said that it would have been
improper to enter the dining room
without her gloves on. This sound
ed foolish to me, and l thought
then that I'd someday write to
you about 1t.
Answer: l think she made a
good deal of fuss about nothing,
even though she was right in say
ing that wearing gloves into a
public dining room was correct.
How to Manage the Tea Plate
Dear Mrs. Post: When being
served tea, the teacup and saue
handed on a tea plate, what does
one do it'll the plate?
Answer: If you have no indi-
vidual table next to you, put the
tea napkin on your lap and the
tea plate on it, and then you hold
the cup and saucer in your left
hand.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Jim Davis dropping in unan-

found a strangely composed Sheila.
Now that her promise had been
given to Raoul she felt no doubts.
She was to meet him that after
noon at the jewelers. TO choose her
ring. They would be married the
day after Christmas. Against the
foreign background which sur
rounded her it seemed natural that
she should marry him.
1t was all part of a pattern into
which Jim Davis did not fit. The
sight of him displeased her because
the moment he entered the garden
its peace and tranquility were dis
turbed.
Jim said, II just happened to
be in Belgrano and thought I'd
stop to see how you were"
His explanation did not deceive
her. She knew he had come delib.
