There are pocket combs too, en- closed in neat leather cases, some with a mirror included, in various kinds of coloured leather and reptile skins.

I was looking at some silk and weel combinations for children in WHITEAWAY, LAIDLAW'S. They are made like vests" with legs and are an excellent garment for this tine of year when it is not yet cold chough for real woollen combina- tions. They will..of course, be useful again in the late spring.
There are similar combinations for ladies with opera tops, and vests with long, short, or no sleeves and also with opera tops. I saw, too, some very nice light weight all wool ladies combinations for evening

Chain Mail Jumpers,
The days when men rode into the lists in coats of mail, gorgeous surcoats, plumes and jewellery, are": gane, and since the male animal prefers to deck himself in plus fours and suits of dull tweeds and home spun, it is an excellent thing for the picturesqueness of the world that women have more sense and appreciation of the beautiful. Men, have refused to make use any longer of the shimmer of metal chain against coloured silk, so women have thie season determined to. revive it, and you will fad that metal threads play an important item in nearly every article of Eve's equipment from head to heel.
But the most striking hark back to the tourneys of old is in the jumper suits which MADAME SAR BAULT has brought back from Paris The jumpers are knitted or woven. in ailver thread which looks, when closely woven, like metal tissue and in the more open weave like a coat of mail.

SCENE.
"The Eternal Flame," which has been attacked because of a repre sentation of the Unknown Warrior, was presented for the first time at the Theatre Royal Leamington Spa. Mr. C. Watson Mill owner of the theatre, is the author. The clos- ing scene is laid in Westminster Abbey, with the Union Warrior's tomb in the centre of the stage. The Vicar of Leamington, who advised his congregation from the pulpit to for his chairboys and organist to see the play, has given permission take part in the Abbey scene. There was a big demand for tickets, and the theatre was soon booked up for the whole of the week.
There was a great deal of cheer- ing at the end of each act. The scenes in which the Unknown War. rior appears are in the fourth and last nets. The play deals with the exploits of a "cat" burglar, played by Mr. Russell Thorndike, who

BUSTLE BOWS: Fragile picture dresses of silk net, with long, full skirts of the crinoline persuasion, are frequent ly decorated with large bows of net which are placed at the back of the waist and slightly stiffened so that they are not easily crushed. These bows give a bustle effect to the ont line of the gown, and the long ends are usually weighted with email flowers to match the sprays of brightly coloured blooms which are placed at the waist in front.
