Lady Cynthia Tothill, sister of Lord Banden, hus managed to make her little house in Connaught Street juite up to the minute on a mal outlay with the help of the Marchese Malacrida, who has de- corated some of London's most novel houses.

The curtains are casement cloth, in a deep shade of Royal purple, and the lampshades are carried out in the same scheme.
In a very few moments Lady Cynthia can turn her dining-room Info a spare bedroom, for behind a screen are a wardrobe and a wash hand stand, and a divan covered in

They are but light glimpses into an alluring zeyond as setual styles are rarely revealed before the end of Janu- jary. Nevertheless a note like the "estringing of lustrous pearls with old family diamonds indicates the wearing of beautiful fabrics for evening.

More elaborate necklaces, however, are being wrought with single strings of gems across the back, and two short rows of contrasting stones graduated to hang one above the ather in front.
