The Beauty Of Painted Walls
The Russian influence; apparent In every style parade, appears in this dress of wine-coloured blister crepe with a yoke of gold lame. The tunic is alit at each side and features a wide belt held in place by gold buttons. Capped by a velvet cossack model, Karen Mor- ley, clnemma actress, Ats into the mood of the frock.
REGENCY FABRICS
(By JOAN WARDEN)
As a reaction to the severe "no) picture" walls which came in with, our modern plain, elegant; and farresting furniture, those who can afford it have recently reverted to mural decorations.
"No pictures unless they aris good ones" was undoubtedly a very happy slogan for ridding us of questionable works of art, but mural decoration has been the awing of the pendulum, and grati:; fles the innate love most of us have for something to satisfy the eye,
Nor is this form of décoration beyond comparatively modest
pockets.
It is true that many owners of country houses have spent thousands of pounds · upon having one or two rooms done by: well-known artists, but there is no reason why a small drawing or [music room should not be treated
in the same way.
I had a chat with a young Russian girl who has several times) exhibited at the Royal Academy and recently completed a year's work painting a story of Italian peasant life round the walls of the music room of a country man- sion.
From her I learned that quite aj number of people are having smaller rooms decorated in the same way with suitable subjects, and some clients stipulate for a picture of some particularly beautiful bit of scenery they have encountered in their travels, Sometimes only one side of a wall is decorated; but, curiously enough, the effect. is nearly always one of enhancing instead of reducing the size of the | room. One might reasonably im
agine that the latter would be the case, but the effect of additional space is due to the skill of the artist.
The tunic theme seems to over. shadow all other designs to-day. Norma Shearer, of screen fame, models a hip-length green wool tumic frock featuring a high scarf neckline and long tight sleeves. The short tunde has a short neck and elbow length bell sleeven creating s double neck and sleeve appearance.

· LITERARY LINEN.
Paris has evolved a new de- coration for linen in the shape of short embroidered. mottoes. Sheets and handkerchiefs alike may be seen adorned with wilty or sentimental messages, recall ing thoas on the heart-shaped sweets popular among children. The mottoes are often worked on an inset of different colour
or material, and a great variety of stitches is used to trace the words, which are surrounded by scrolls, garlands or sprays of leaves and flowers.
Nursery towels, sheets, and tablecloths could be worked with appropriate 'legends of an ad- monitory or amusing character, while guest-room linen could be embroidered with a little ms8- zage of welcome. A particular ly delightful use of these mot- loes would be for the adornment of presents of household linen. they would give a pleasant touch of intimacy to a gift which otherwise tends to seem a little impersonal..
EVENING VELVET
WRAPS
Velvet is one of the principal materials used for evening wraps this season: Black is always n80-| ful; but the shades that can be had in this material are legion, A lovely long evening coat in black velvet with very full bishop sleeves, gauged at the top, and a wide scarf of the same velvet that could be wrapped round the throat when it was chilly, was recently веси in London.
