A razor stimulates hair growth just as trimming a hedge makes it grow faster and thicker. This is why ladies using a razor to remove unwanted hair find the hair constantly returning more rapidly and more thickly than before. In spite of this, until the discovery, of Veet cream, ladies have been obliged to usea razoror resort to evil-smelling, irritating depilatories to remove superfluous hayr. The burning Barium Sulphide in ordinary depilatories causes painful irritation, soreness, and skin blemishes. Veet cream does not contain any Barium Sulphide or other poisonous chemical. It has no offensive odour and leaves the skin soft, smooth and white. Whereas razors and ordinary depilatories only remove hair above the skin surface Veet melts the hair away beneath it. Veet is as easy and and pleasant to use as a face cream. You simply spread it on just as it comes from the tube, wait a few minutes, rinse it off and the hair is gone as if by magic. Entirely satisfactory results are guaranteed in every case, or your money is returned Veet may be obtained from all chemists, hairdressers, and stores for 3/6. Also sent post paid in plain wrapper for 4/ (trial size by post for 6d. in stamps).

And there are always good reproductions to be bought — I have a few myself. My bedroom is mauve and blue, with a mauve carpet, and a wonderful old oaken Cromwellian bed, at least three hundred years of age. It has a curiously carved back, with a shelf, on which I stand a pair of small electric reading lamps. It is all hand turned, as the somewhat uneven, front posts prove, and I made its curtains of the same cretonne as the window casements. The dressing chest is of antique farmhouse oak, and the uncommon three piece dull gilt glass that stands on it is a reproduction. But it is in keeping. The stool near it is one of a set of coffin stools like those used in old Abbeys to rest people's coffins upon. That was in its past. Now it supports nothing more gruesome than my trinket box, which has a crinolined lady upon its lid. Things like linen, one naturally doesn't acquire piecemeal. Those I bought just as everyone else does, at a good manufacturers. Another bedroom is all mahogany, with a large Hepplewhite bedstead. A few framed Japanese prints and three or four Hogarth's comprise my picture gallery. That, however, is purely a matter of taste, like one's cushions. The window seat, in the sitting room, with a Lancashire z*.'heel-back chair on the left. etc. Some day, when we retire, Guy and I, we shall have a larger house, a sort of farm, right out in the country, for I don't really like London. But, candidly, I don't yearn for a huge mansion. Great rooms and much magnificence like the settings we had in flic Bigamist are all very well in a film, and I daresay I should revel in arranging them (did I forget to mention that one of my secret ambitions is to become an Art Director?) but in real life we are very well content with our cosy Kensington cottage. Ivy Duke's bedroom has mauve and blue cntonne curtains, and a mauve and is simple almost to severity. :artct,
