Here are few suggestions for the
woman of so:
/. Don't use very much rouge.
2. Never put rouge over the
wrinkles, but do blend it over the
pouches, if any.
3. Don't put rouge low on the
face. This adds to any insipient
appearance of sag.
4. Be sure to pat your powder
on Draw the puff over wrinkles,
and you will see how it outlines
them.
5. Don't pull the hair down
over the ears. Everything should
get away from the downward sag.
Sweep the hair upward and then
pull it into becoming lines.
s. Don't wear tight curls or
small waves.
7. Don't wear your skirts
longer than the current styles.
8. Don't be afraid to wear ear
rings and fresh flowers.
9. Don't give up exercise and
outdoor sports. although these
should be adapted to your age.
10. Don't eat TOO much.
II. Don't stay overweight.
This cuts down your life expect
ancy and adds years to your
appearance.
u. Don't slump.
13. Dor'C bring age into con-
versati>h with such remarks as.
We'll, we're not as young as we
used to be-" AT my age" etc.
This makes you age-conscious,
and is uncomfortable for others.
IA. Don't forget TO laugh.
IS. Don't be too serious.
16. Don't be critical
IT. Don't develop old-age man

My suggestion would be to do the
walls in a warm shade, either on
the grayed pink tones or the prim-
rose yellow, and accent with the

to use the walls and rug of the blue

it to make it more welcoming.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: I am closing
my house at the shore the lst OF
October. I have always packed my
bedcoverS in drawers built under
the beds, but mice have managed to
get in there and l cannot be sure
that they will not repeat the de-
struction of last year this winter, too.
Is there anything l could put in the
drawers that would kill or keep away
the injector sure? j. T.
AnsWer-The safest thing to do
would be TO put up clothes lines OF
rope or wire in one of the rooms and
hang the sheets and blankets over
these. This will keep them out OF
harms way and no mouse will be
able to reach them.
Dear Miss Novel;: We have q
very comfortable lounge chair in
our library that has almost become
fixture. 1t needs new slip cover,
but the spring cushion in the seat
seems to be slightly out of shape.
Though it is not uncomfortable,
would it be better to get a new
cushion before getting the slip
cover? D. S. Z.
Answer-You will not need to get
a new cushion. An upholsterer will
make over the present one so that
it is as good as new 1t may be
that the springs have slipped bit
or that the padding has slipped
down into the springs so that 1t
has lost its shape. Rebuilding, re-
padding and boxing the sides will
give the whole chair neat, we'll
groomed look.
Dear Miss Novel;: I am planning
to panel a downstairs bedroom in
my house and make it into study.
There will be bookcases built in,
wood dado and cornice around the
ceiling. There are only two wall
spaces for paper or paint, and l
definitely 90 not want knotty pine
or a natural wood finish. What do
you suggest for the walls and the
woodwork that will make the room
seem as spacious as possible?
H. L. A.
Answer-Keep the walls as light
as possible, though it would be nice
TO use a color such as yellow, blue
green, or blue in a light tone. Or
one of the textured papers that
looks like grasscloth in an off,
white or light tone. One of the
newest finishes for wood paneling,
which goes very well in this type
of room is to paint the paneling
with oil paint and then sand it off
so that the warmth of the wood is
apparent but the finish is light
This is also very attractive when
done in color. For instance, doing
the walls in primrose yellow and
the woodwork in robin 's-egg blue and
rubbing it down gives a most un-
usual and interesting effect.

Such has been the case with Gov
ered-up" dinner dresses for the last
couple of years. Less and less are
we seeing decollete gowns worn for
evening, and more and more is the
trend to figure-revealing clothes
which do not depend upon barring
the arms, back and shoulders for
effectiveness. When the evening
gown with sleeves was brought out
last season, women Immediately
showed their approval of this easy
mode, and they've continued to do
so. In the New York fashion open
ings, number of very bare" dresses
were shown, but these were more
or less show pieces staged, we
suspect, to give a luxurious, CLAM
orOuS touch to the ShoWingS. OF
course, We don't mean to say that
no decollete gowns will be worn this
year, but we do think that they're
going to be restricted to the most
superformal type of affairs. For
dining and dancing and at most
dinner parties, the black tie" feel
ing will persiSt-and the covered
dinner gown will be there in all its
glory.
Generally speaking, most of the
gowns follow the slim line which
molds the figure around the hips
and breaks into a slender skirt.
Crepe is a favorite in black as we'll
as color. Sleeves may be full length,
three-quarter or fairly short. Neck
lines will be deep VS. or lowered
square ones which keep you from
looking too informal. There has
been some talk OF the shorter din
her dress-really a cocktail dress
but we have an iGea that when men
dress women will want "a floor
length gown. These Street-length
dinner gowns, which make use of
Sequln or jet trim as rule. have
great possibilities, but the flattering
lines of a long gown seem almost
too good to abandon, particularly
when such dinner gowns as are
now popular may be worn with little
hats and muffs and other gadgets
to make them look less evening
iSh."
From now until the first of the
year, velvets will be good, so make
the most of them. CrepeS. as
mentioned, are fine, and so are the
RUSTY" materials like taffetas and
silks. Satins are good, but more in
clined to be on the low-cut side
rather than in covered versions.
Watch for trimming such as
feathers in addition to paillettes
and beading Fur - ermine. nee
lapin-is in evidence here and there
and looks lovely in combination
Evening star., 1941-09-26

with black velvet for a very regal
dinner ensemble. With tiny white
lapin muff it's a wonderful idea.
And, incidentally, if you have any
fur pieces, such as fox, you might
try banding the peplum of a new
dinner dress. It's the last word In
smartness and you can do it easily.
Most important of all in buying
a dinner or evening gown this year
look to the At of it. Unless it is
correctly draped to your figure, nine
tenths of the charm is lost. Since
severe lines are here, they must
follow the lines Of the figure and,
unless you're pretty perfect, it's
good idea to wear them over a
foundation garment.

velveteen, too, or wool crepe. Keep
the jumper and jacket alike-and
let the blouse or sweater you wear
with it provide the contrast.
