shorts made in one piece. If the neck is finished with a scarf tied in front the effect will be smart the and equally becoming when skirt and jacket are slipped of.
By the way, there is a new type of pyjamas out just now-ra:ber short in the leg. They look charm- The ing above a pretty ankle.
im trousers are rather Chinese effect, especially if worn with -high-necked jacket. But a little less on the top is probably more desirable just now.
For more work-a-day pyjamas there are some which are cut with two points and a high waist in front and very trim they look
This type of waist obviates the necessity of having to wear a belt -an accessory which often refuses to "git" right unless you are wear- ing some kind of girdle beneath. Stil, you prefer some support even when you are wearing holiday clothes, do not forget that elastic girdles are now made on knicker lines.!!
For those who are pining to wear shorts, but like them to look as much like skirts as possible, an ingenious mind bas invented -skorts." These,
you CER imagine, combine the best points of both Cleverly arranged pleats give you the appearance of wear- .ing rather short skirts, while actually you are doing nothing of the kind.
You will not, of course, forget a bath wrap when packing your week-end wardrobe the simplest. affair in towelling is the best, although you can brighten it up considerably by the addition
a
thick ropes of cotton cord which can outline the neck, the cuffs, and, provide a dashing sash for the waist.
Immediately you leave for your week-cad you will begin to expose your toes in the high-heeled san cals you wear with your linen or the beach sandals which will watch your bathing-suit colour.
Coloured vamp straps are the newest thing for the latter with a cork insole next to the foot, and a leather one next to prevent the crepé rubber under-sole from raak- ing your foot hot. These sandals have large, sólid, and very smart heels.
If you fancy yourself with zo heels, Paris has introduced for evening this year a perfectly fat leather sandal simply held on with straps of bead embroidery.
Whatever the size of your foot, no need to despair. Shoemakers have designed footwear with great. cunning this season and even the sevens and eights look about three sizes smaller than they really are. They do it by building up the heel to just the height' required to make the front look shorter, but not so high as to force us to walk as though we are perpetually try- ing to look over a wall.
Every woman to-day knows, of course that
short vamp-or front-will make her foot look more like the poet's ideal, Still, this is a matter which should be the subject of a heart-to-heart discussion between her and her shoemaker, for if she has long, slim
feet and takes`z sudden fancy to shoes with short vamps sbe is likely to have to pay for it later or with regular visits to the chiropodist
But here is a tip for the small woman who bemoans her lack of inches and imagines that high heels aloze will help her. A Court shoe will help her even more
That unbroken line of stocking from shoe-vamp to skirt-hem will give her apparently an extra couple of inches. Of course, if anyone is lucky enough to find s brown or black shoe with a beige strap to match her stockings, she will obviate the difficulty.
A word for the sportswoman whe takes her tennis racquet or golf clubs with her.
Clever designers
shorts knowingly and for feminine streamlines, very crisp and jaunty affairs with inverted plaits for additional swing and action. They are as expertly Stted and tailored as masculine apparel, Successful summer models are made in tub materials, the shorts attached to a short-sleeved tailored blouse and then a wrap-around skirt that but- tous down the front added achieve a good-looking dress.
Well-tailored slacks that reach to the ankles but still offer all the grand freedom of movement the sportswoman wants are much in demand. They come to life in every conceivable material Sports and stacks and shorts and hours of clear, strong sunshine will probably go on forever!
