PRINTED UNDIES SET A
NEW FASHION.
We have been accustomed for & long time to the beautiful Chinese embroidered silk underwear, and now from. Japan, the Pioneer Silk Store have received the very lateat undies which are printed in flower designs, rather like those on Haori coats, on silk. These undies are made in white and all the usual lingerie shades, and have been de signed to meet the newest whim of

LOOKING FORWARD.
CRISP. LITTLE SUMMER
FROCKS.
An ability to plan for the future is the quality which distinguishes the well dressed woman of moderate means. A wardrobe which is got together unsystematically can never be satisfactory, unless you can afford to buy all the necessary accessories for a frock purchased simply and solely because it pleased yon. The wise woman plans her wardrobe well in advance, chooses for example her end-of-summer garments with a view to combin tion with those, she intends to pur so difficult as it might appear. Let chase for the autumn. This is not us say ake means to get, or has

You can get it advantageously now and if, when you are buying your winter clothes, you can deduct the cost of new undies from the budget it may make all the difference between the frock you feel you really should not. afford and that very unsatisfactory garment the next best thing."
The same with shoes which are all marked down by 20 per cent, during the sale. Later on you_will have to have a pair of thick shoes or brogues if you walk or golf much, or for wear with the severer style of sports things. If you get them now at a reduction, when being sale time you expect to spend money, they won't have to be bought at the ordinary price later on.

I saw too, some new Bishop coats thicker than those of which I wrote a short while ago, of heavy spun crepe. They are lined with plain Japanese silk and printed in flower garden designs in bright colours. A new consignment of Haori coats and Baori kimono have just arrived, some of them are printed both in side and out and others are plain black outside.
From Japan too are some new pyjamas printed with flowers and birds on fugi silk, in any number of different colours and designs, each pair has its own neat little bag and the colours will stand plenty of washing."
The Chinese embroidered pyjamas are always pleasing, but children's suits are a novelty and would give great delight to small people besides being a pretty lapey dress when party time comes; I saw one for a child about 3 or 4 years old with orange legs and a black jumper with a most ferocious orange dragon embroidered on it.

Underwear For Cooler Days, Lane, Crawford's sale is not, I think, an opportunity for buying odds and ends as many sales are, but for filling in the gaps in your present wardrobe and laying the foundations of the next one.

Creations For° 39.
Quite a surprise is a range of the most dainty and attractive little summer frocks which have just arrived and are going to be one of the features of this year's sale. Some of them are as low as $0 and all of them, I believe, under 20. They are made of flowered voile and organdie or thin printa, and are tutin, the pretty modern shepherdess stylo which has proved so popular. There is one in red and white flowered voile which has a circular skirt with a very full deep hem of scarlet organdie. An- other shows the new oblique lines and is half orange and white Bower ed voile with a tiny polka dot, and half flame coloured organdie. A third opens over an underskirt of mauve organdie and has a big fichu collar of the same over mauve and white flowered voile.

Well Mads, Chairs,
I think an appreciation of this tendency to moderation is the reason why Whiteaway, Laidlaw's furnishing department does so much trade. While it cannot be said that the furniture made there reflects each passing whim of fashion, it is all well and soundly made on good simple lines which can offend no one's tast and which spell com. fort, dignity and utility. You have próbably seen their suites of settze nad armchairs, and having used one of them I can guarantee their comfort. Probably you have sat in them more often than you know, for the number that are sold every month must main that they have found their way into a large num- ber of houses in the Colony. But if you yourself have not a set, unless you are well furnished with armchairs, you should examine them and take advantage of the sale prices during this month.
