That popular fad-the Windsor bon
net, mere little knob and bouquet
on the back of your noggin, does not
shade your features, but don't wear
this slip Of a cap if your orbs are
haggard or your hair lacks luster.
This brevity in millinery calls for
perfect features, skin and grooming.

A perfect frock for informal dining
is a simple black crepe with dra-
matte yoke fashioned of exquisitely
embroidered organdy in a soft dove
blue with frosting of teeny blue
beads. And for that "oomph" of high
fashion wear dove blue gloves and
you'll WOW 'em sister!
Why not make yourself gypsy
dress for home or informal parties in
ankle length? Rayon jersey adapts
itself beautifully to this type Of dress.
The skirt is petticoat type, shirred to
wide belt, and the blouse may be a
simple round neck, kimono sleeve, or
as complicated as you wish to make
it. Just so the coIors are bright, con
trasting and glamorous. Wear a lei
of flowers with this-either make
yourself one with artificial flowers, or
if you have fresh flowers you can de-
sign yourself a lovely lei. These
dresses are lovely for the holiday sea
son ahead.

Make yourself a bracelet of flowers
to wear with your opera length gloves
which are becoming more popular for
formal wear. Can you imagine what
mink ilDNpra1 wrists will do for q
simple black gown worn with black
gloves. This is also an excellent idea
for an inexpensive Christmas gift
too.
