And there are millionaires and their fami- lies who stodglly refuse to go to this trouble save on most extraordinary occasions when not to do so would make them fearfully conspicuous. The acquisition of an evening dress is not something to be undertaken lightly. Whether you do It simply by buying one all made or through the ald and abetment of your dressmaker or as a result of your own clever handiwork, there are numerous things to take into consideration. It is al- ways foolish to buy an evening frock made according to a fashion that is on the wane. Most women have to wear their evening frocks for a longer season than their street frocks or other day-time frocks. If you can select an evening frock that is in a mode so new that the dress will still look In the springtime of fashion six months from now, all the better. Here is a type of evening frock that has quite recently been set afloat on the sea of fashion. It consists of an under frock of white georgette, and has an overskirt of lace in black or find traces of Japanese influence.| 'For instance, If you have a “Jaco- Japanese prints, porcelain, pottery ur‘:enn" chair with twisted legs, much | 5 - | hand-carved and other ornate fea- textlies aro to be soen.fchofen ’fmf tures, you cannot with taste put this times with the skill of real :aste|;, g room furnished with simple wil- Millions Drink and understanding, s times care-|jouw furniture or finished wood with lessly, just because they are cheap OTlpieces that have straight lines and ! attractive. little decoration.

Walk about the room for flve min- utes in the morning and five minutes 1in the evening with a book balanced on top of your head. It need not be a heavy book, although a fair-sized volume {s the proper sort to use. As you must keep the head high in order to balance the book, you will draw back the shoulders and straighten the spine. This will make you raise the chest somewhat. It will also make e you | positions by putting a heavy welght on the head and then making the round-shouldered person walk.
