This cooler weather and the change of the season brings for us a greater variety in evening gowns, I saw a very lovely one at the Femina Whilst the whole dress was made of a purple georgette, there was a hem has hidden by heavy taffeta leaver just a shade darker than the rest of the gown. The sleeves were long and very narrow, and the narrow wristband was made of taffeta also...
Another dress in a Eght-green was beautifully embroidered with beads. The cut was very simple, as it usually is in these bead-emboidered dresses in order

of long hair. I belong to the order of the bobbed and naturally am very much in favour of short hair for those who can wear it. Out here it is particularly convenient to have one's hair bobbed. If one swims much it is a great trouble to keep long hair in good condition for even the bathing caps do not keep out the saltwater which makes the hair stiff and unsightly. It takes a long time to dry long hair after washing it, and a cold may easily be contracted. During the hot nights long hair is most inconvenient and uncomfortable unless it is puf up, a pro- cess which causes such headache and is very unhealthy for the hair.
Only recently there was an article in the Daily Press referring to the fact that the glory of long hair had been a favourite subject with Poets for centuries. That may be true but one must not forget that boobed and shingled women of

KNEE BREECHES FOR WOMEN.
NOVEL EVENING DRESS AT LONDON FASHION SHOW.
Fashion is working overtime, writes a correspondent in a Homs paper. This is the season when women are eagerly asking themselves what sort of a figure they will be required to cut before a critical world in a few weeks' time.
To this question the Fashions Exhibi tion at Holland Park Hall provides many becoming answers. The home cor- respondent adds that simong the visitor to the show was ons from far away Hongkong.
At one end of the scale of evening dress comes a tailored black moire dinner toilette. The skirt is short and slit at either aid to reveal the black satin court breeches, caught with small diamond buckles at the sides: These breeches come below the skirt, which is attached to a bodice cut on the lines of a inan's evening coat, complete with fails!
This coat opens over a dress shirt of green georgette, the moft collar of which turns over on a man's dress tie
The antithesis of this creation is a crinolice gown with a bodice of ribbed silver tissue. The left side is covered
·with "flat"'"velvet Howers'in shades of, blue, green, eyelamen, green and yellow. The bodice sles in a huge bow on the left hip, and below spreads a voluminous skirt of spotted lavender-coloured net, decked with frills of narrow tilvet lace. Under- neath is a sheathlike foundation of silver Ince
Between these two extremes are many other styles.
A new form of dreas decoration shows crushed silver imposed on a background of flowers that are hand-painted. – Necks are round or square or V-shaped. The bost neck is no longer fashionable. :- || All shades of wine and mulberry are modish, and a new colour," dawn," will, it is expected, oust bois de rose. Dawn is a pinkish tint, with a hint of manve in its composition.
