It's easy to serve buffet style If
you have lots of sm all tables fo r
people to sit down to and eat. Then
they can go to the buffe t—w hich
by the way can be a buffet or a
large ta b le —and serve them selves
as often us they like . W ith food such

how often they cun come back.
Your table should be as p re tty as

Start Out the New Year Right
By Making Yourself Attractive
C rr tc i
Y A 7 H F N YOU catch yo u rse lf look-
’ irig in the m ir r o r and saying,
“ I ’m not as good-looking as I was
at 20,” look out lady and ta ke your-
• e lf in hand. O r. i f you shrug off
doing som ething about yo u r clothes
w ith the flim sy excuse, ’ ’The fa sh ­
ions are fo r me th is season,” be
tru th fu l to yo u rse lf a t least and
a d m it th a t y o u 're ju s t being lazy.
No woman, w ith a ll the m odern
aids to m ake her a ttra c tiv e , need
feel th a t she has lost her youth
and charm . True, she m a y have
added a few years, but w ith those
years she gains a new kin d o f
beauty, a poise and m a tu rity th a t
is even m ore a ttra c tiv e than her
beauty of the e a rly 20s. And as
fo r fashions, is n 't it a b it s illy to
th in k that designers w ould neglect
any type of woman?
No, le t’ s face the facts. Somehow
o r other, you’ ve ju s t le t yo u rse lf
slip, and what you re a lly need is
to a ttire yo u rse lf in the latest, and
I defy you to find at least h a lf a
dozen styles th a t you can’ t wear.
Sometimes it does take a b it of
looking to find ju s t w hat w e're
after, but when you do find It,
wear it, and y o u 'll enjoy the com ­
plim ents.
No

can
women
ask,
“ Which is better, to be dressed be­
com ingly, or to be dressed in the
height of fashion?” There m a y once
have been a reason fo r th is sad
plea but now we have so m any edi­
tions of each trend th a t if you try ,
you can find one w hich w ill be
fla tte rin g especially fo r you. And
don't shy away fro m adding a few
im a g in a tiv e touches w hich w ill en­
hance the style fo r you.
