MORE SCENES AND MORE
CHANGES.
Playwrights and stage dress-de- signers should be congratulating themselves; in addition to the even ng glave which is allowed by to day's fashion to be scattered pace more conveniently about the stage as incriminating evidence, each act may, according to prevailing tech- nique, include two or more scenes, thus giving the woman" star six or eight opportunities to change her dress. Dishonoured Lady at the Playhouse takes full advantage of the new-old multiplicity of scene, and Miss Far Comptom appears in a variety of frocks. Her first en- semble is amusing and original.. It consists of a white evening coat cut to the new hip length and has
white fox collar which covers only one shoulder and a solitary ouff which suggests that a muff is being carried. Miss Fay Compton's black velvet evening coat, in com- plete contrast, belongs to the, cinss that in the nineties would have been. praised as "important-looking." It is much befurred, and sweeps the ground in a circular train. It is slightly waisted, and the alceves end at the elbow, thus giving the long, black side gloves which are part of the plot their full signi- cance. A. green and white pattern- ed chiffon alternoon dress has" a long tabard-like arrangement which is edged with a wide band of green velvet. This runs up to the hips, where. it is finished in two large bows; the space between the sides is filled in with a godet of the chiffon that touches the floor, and the sleeves have tight mittens of the velvet running up to the elbows.. Miss Compton't wardrobe also in- cludes a turquoise-blue net dinner dress spangled with diamanté, which has long sleeves and two frills on the skirt, the higher of these reach ing only a little below the hips, and standing stiffly away from the figure. Her sober navy blue two- piece suit, in which she sadly ends the play, has also a two-tierced effect, with the first frill starting from the normal waist-line and ending sharply at finger-tip length.
Quite the most amusing evening dress" now to be seen on the stage is worn by Miss May Hallet, wha plays a small part in "Debonair.".
The chorus do appear for one strenuous dancing number in jumper suits with wide, triangular shoulder scarves that are sensible and warm enough to withstand a nice, fresh realistic breeze. But for wear on a brilliant and cloudless summer's day-such as all musical comedies enjoy-nothing of the sprigged muslin, organdic, or cambric type is allowed to appear. Miss Polly Ward, however, looks very dainty in a sleeveless bolero-czadigan auit
THE COLOUR FOR YOU.
FOR GIRLS WITH BROWN HAIR.
It is essential that the difference between the brown-haired type and the brunette be clearly understood "Except, in the case of" the pale woman this difference is largely a matter of complexion colouring. Tht brunette of vivid tones or the holive brunette has a much darker skin than the brown-haired woman. even when her hair is not entirely black. And whether her hair is a very light brown or quite a dark shade, the brown-haired woman of average complexion will have a much lighter skin than the brunette, The brown-hized woman with medium colour has light flesh tones. regardless of the intensity of her brown hair. And because her cóm- plexion offers no difficulties, and la view of the fact that her hair is sufficiently neutral not to quarrel with most hues, she has one of the most" varied colour palettes of al! types.
Although I am suggesting a few shades that are doubtful, she may Bnd, because of the modifications in her own colouring, that even these will be favourable. For this reason she may consider any tone that suits her fancy, the only stipulation being that she tries it against her face before coming to a decision

What we cat is the material with which we build our mortal houses, and to eat wrongly is, therefore, to put imperfect bricks into our structure Having it, however, we must keep our hecae in good repair, and that is where exercise chiefly plays its part.
To walk is good, to climb is a useful reducing method, to swim is even, better, But for those of us who live in the city, and rarely see the hilia and lakes, there are certain carefully planned exercises which bring about the same results.
