"TOP OF THE MARK" COCKTAIL LOUNGE
Stars all about! A meteoric shower of lights crowning San Francisco's twenty-seven hills below! In all the world, no other such view as seen through the Mark's windows in the sky. Nowhere gayer people in gayer setting.
Dining, dancing, living . . . no human habitation looks on such a pleasure exposure as the Mark with its sky location, as air-minded moderns agree. Four minutes from the city's center.

best thing to a real fireplace. It gives your room a warm heart. It makes it cozy. When lamps are turned out and curtains are drawn it will induce confidences. And it also will prove a wonderful starting-out place for the arrangement of your furniture. ^ A panel or pictorial wallpaper cut to fit the wall over your fireplace or behind a bed — if the rest of the room is painted — will give the effect of a charming, colorful mural, especially if it's glassed.
Let There Be Light
<I But see to it that it doesn't shine in people's eyes or cast hard shadows which turn you and your friends into meanlooking witches.
<J Be very careful to have all your lamp shades the right size and depth for your lamps so no part of any bulb is left exposed. <J Have your lamps at a proper height.
I The top of the shade should be just about fifty-eight inches from the floor.
j <J Use bulbs with No. 40 wattage. They give a clear light but they don't light up a room like a church.
I <J Lamp shades with too much pattern give a room too busy an effect. If there are three lamps in your room use plain light shades on two and have a tole (painted metal) shade on the third. Tole shades are especially effective and dramatic against colored walls. <J Poke around in secondhand stores, antique shops and rummage sales until you find interesting old vases or ornaments or bottles that can be made into lamps. The big white pottery paste jars which can be bought in the household departments of many shops make really beautiful lamps and cost next to nothing.

They're like the little girl
Who had a little curl That hung down the middle of her forehead. When they are good They are very, very good And when they are bad They are horrid!
<J Above everything else see to it that your pictures are big enough for the wall space they occupy.
<j A collection of fruit prints or flowers or a group of four small water colors or three or four etchings or lithographs are always more decorative together than scattered around hit-or-miss fashion and looking like oversized postage stamps stuck on the wall.
<J Have frames heavy enough to give pictures importance but not so heavy that they dwarf them. <J Use mats on your pictures. Mats no longer are supposed to be white. They can be any color that flatters the picture, the wall upon which the picture hangs, or the frame. Consider a lime-green ■ .at and a natural wood frame against a yellow wall. Or a pale coral mat against a white frame and a blue wall. Marbelized and metallic papers make very effective mats, too.
<J Watch out that you don't get your picture too high! Unless a picture hangs over a mantel or a high cabinet the center of it should be on a level with your eyes when you are standing.
All right! You're on your own!
Don't try to do everything at once. Take your time. Make the fun last. For it will be fun to give your room a beauty treatment with Hollywood's decoration experts for your consultants. In fact, it's our guess that when you finish doing your room — fascinated by the miracle you have accomplished with a little paint and a little chintz and a lot of knowledge — you'll want to transform the family living room, too.
STYLE STREAMERS
If you got the ribbons on the Maypole on page 52 a little twisted, you'll want these correct answers
Style A: a cape
Capes are in this summer — long flowing ones of silk that make outfits of your summer dresses, cut in a military style that will make draftees stop, look and follow you.
Style B: a grosgrain ribbon belt
Ribbon trim for your dresses is a new summer style flash. Here's how to make this belt: Cut a 33" length of ribbon (this is for a size 28 waist) . For other sizes, either add or subtract to ribbon length to go around waist. Then slip ribbon about 2" through loop opening of a buckle (if you're interested in things military you can choose a military emblem for your buckle). Then turn back this 2" piece of ribbon and fold underneath. Sew securely.
Style C: Buster Brown collars
Worn over suits or dresses, these are a vital fashion note for May. Gives you an innocent little-boy look and a choice of colors for the soft loose ties that will make an old dress into a new triumph.
Style D: Candy Stripes
Candy stripes, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, will trim the smartest summer dresses. Cuffs, collars, blouses, skirts, all go striped in the summer scene.
Style E: Beige shoes
-i footwear is in again, in soft tones to match stocking shades. A best with navy blue nr beige outfits.
