Printed chiffons make delightful scarves for wearing with infloor jumper suits and coat frocks. They will probably be ex I paid what proved to be a most in-tremely popular, with those "no longer teresting visit this week to a store which quite young as the French put it, for has opened in the premises formerly they help to soften those unkind lines It is made by the passing years round chin occupied by Lane, Crawfarul's. most unassuming store from the outside and neck without adding any discomfort but Mue. Chiffon-that is the name of or extra weight. the proprietress-has a stock surprising in its variety and the frocks are of quisite and original taste and above all chic.

One of them had a skirt of a material which is a good imitation of a light suede leather and the top part the loveliest crochet-work. Crachet seems to be very fashionable, for all the pretty jumper-blouses if not altogether of crochet-work, have at least some erochet stitches somewhere either instead of the hem-line along the sides og to fasten in the sleeves. Neck and pockets have frequently crochet work too. There are some light dresses for street- wear, and pretty skirts also that make a wonderful combination with sport blouses.

Jewellery and Hat-pins.
The shops are re-introducing, hatpins as an autumn novelty for the first time since fashion turned her back on them. It is with an effort that one recalls the time when a woman's hat bristled with pins, and headaches resulted from having a pin too firmly fixed in the hair. Yet women once gave as much attention to
a hat-pin with a really handsome head As they pay now-a-days to the selection and the shingle a bag.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,
ISABEL RAMBAY.]`
Flowers are coming back into fashion again. In fact, if you want to feel that you are perfectly turned out, you will add a flower to your costume at every time of the day. To the coat or tailor made," add a camelia or gardenia in felt or kid; to the afternoon "ensemble, add a'carnation or early Victorian posy made of feathers; to the evening gown. add something more decorative, a peony,
rose or an orchid unde of organdie or singlass. Only then will you be quite beyond reproach.
Something new in the way of handker chiefs are the brilliant coloured affairs that are now being affered. They are made of crêpe de Chine, are stitched round the edges in black and into one corner, by way of ornament, is embroider- ed a Mah Jongg character, Other amus- ing novelties have each day of the week embroidered in one curner in a, silk to match the coloured border. There is a decided vogue for coloured handkerchiefs just now and the daintiest models in fine fawn or crêpe de Chine are to be seen in delicate powder blue, bois de rose, amethyst and lettuce green shades, mixed with white or beige.

COOKING RECIPES.
The appearance of, any glass article depends more than anything else on the manner in which it is cleaned. Tumblers and wine-glasses should be washed in warm water to which a little scop has been added. They should then be rinsed in cold water and placed upside down on a tray to dry. Afterwards they should be dried with a lineh glass cloth and, if great brilliante is required, polished with triangle. The vague for large hats last a chamois leather.

An amusing model I saw at one of those, smart little bag shops that crowd into the Faubourg Saint Honoré, was made of alligator skin and stitched round with brown silk so as to give the effect of hoops round a miniature barrel. Alligator skin ia occupying the attention of most of the smart bag unkers these days. One-at- tractive model of the flat envelope type was made of pig skin with the flap of alligator akin finished with a huge gilt monogram. Sonia Delaunay's cubist bags that are a rict of geometrical dimensions embroidered in brilliant silks or in gold or silver thread are having a big, vogue. Another popular model, for the evening, is an envelops shape embroidered diagon ally acrosh one side with tiny seed pearls and acroes the other with diamente, the whole being bordered with an edg.ng of silver kid.

onc
Perhaps the greatest sensation ever caused in the fashion world is the return to favour of ostrich feathers. At most social gatherings they are to be noticed, in some form or another on every second woman. And seeing them so soft and charming adorning the necks of pretty women,
wondered why ostrich Feathers had ever been abandoned for even & few seasons. They are so feminine and alive to the movements of 'their wearers. The great vogue is certainly the "Mon Pierrot" colarette which Caroline Reboux launched. This is made in two, sometimes three tones of one colour, shad- ing from light to a deeper tone, or show- ing a contrasting colour worked in to make a definite blending by separating the colours in two or three sectións. Transformed into this beautiful colarette the Mon Pierrot" rule can truly be said to be more becoming than fox and ather types of fur necklets, which look dull and dead in comparison. Some- times ribbon streamers are used to tie the rule round the neck. Another idea is to join the ends with a strip of elastic so that the ruffle can be slipped down and held in place round the shoulders. Num- bers of the smartest women have already adopted the "Mon Fierrot ruffe so that it is no uncommon sight to see dozens in every variety of design and colouring at all the chic places in the Bois and the Champs Elysees where the smart Mushrooms With Scrambled Eggs...

"Scarves and Smocks.
The number and shape of scarves seems inexhaustible. The latest way of wearing the long narrow scarf is in a semi-nautical fashion. It is twisted once round the neck, and the ends are passed through the slots in the lapels and tied in an artistically careless bow as their point. A charming and simple trimming is in this way produced for simple linen, silk or stockinet frocks..
