Dress Yourself in Unflattering Light

We have often been told by French decorators that we should place our dressing tables against Windows, so that the bright light of day would shine on our faces while went through the rites of The trouble is, we like ait so much that we begrudge the space in front fof a window to the dressing table. Of course, some of us hate to see ourselves in this bright glare of daylight. We prefer to see ourselves in the tather subdued light that we get with our dressing tables placed against a windowless wall.

The objection against taking up the air may be obviated if we have cone of the small dressing tables that fold into such compact space that they maybe tucked away any corner when we are not using them, These little dressing tables are truly a delight for the dweller inv small places. They ave so pretty, too, so frivolous and feminine looking, that any woman would like to own one. And the great beauty of them is that you can place them in front of the window when you use them, and then behind a door oF any other unused spot when you are through with them.

Another good way for array the dressing table in front of a wit thread of romance.
