Today's white walls offer many
advantages, whether your house

is traditional or ultramodern.
White is just as interesting a
background for the apartment

entire house.
Helps Set OFF Paintings
White walls provide the per-

and art objects-for modern
furniture and antiques, for
brass. silver. and copper pieces,
and for lamps.
White also helps set off Orien-

clothes. Line comes first with
her.
She said, There's always
more than one line in a sea-
son and it is up to the indi-
vidual woman to choose the
one that does most for her.
Lines should follow the fig
ure if it's good and disguise
1t If it isn't. A fitted sheath
is lovely on a slender figure
but an easier skirt is better
for someone who has a hip
problem. A full bosomed
woman can emphasize her
abundance with a simple
bustline or minimize it with
softness. Fullness over the
bust will give a woman with a
bosom which is too small
bonus of femininity."
Full Length Mirror
Miss Verna's method Of
using a full length mirror
when selecting clothes is a
splendid one which many
women fail to employ. She
said, Never use a full length
mirror close up when select
ing your gowns and suits.
And don't stand still. Stand
as far back from the mirror
as possible to survey yourself.
See If you stand out above
the color or If 1t submerges
you. Ask yourself If the
bodice detail intended to re-
veal or disguise the bust does
so. Then move toward the
mirror. Does the straight
skirt that looked so we'll
when standing still strain or
create unbecoming lines when
you walk? Does the bouffant
skirt shorten you too much?"
