GLASSES AND BEAUTY.
So many girls who have to take to glasses immediately, think that their good looks are spoilt. It nced not be so.
The woman whose features are broad should have her lenses round, or nearly so. The possessor of a narrow face should never wear this shape, since they make it appear narrower than it is. A broadening effect is produced by glasses which are decidedly aval

Oval lenses, however, should be hyoided when the eyebrows are zerz arched they gecentuate the curve of the brow and give the face a perpetually questioning look. Wisely selected spectacles may give an appearance of length to a short nose. That kind should bo choson which has a bar joining the rims high up. The effect is to add
length to the nose and, while it helps the small featured, this pat tern should not be chosen when the nose is at all prominent
The colouring' of hair and com- plexion should be taken into ac count. Dark horn rims are very suitable for the brunette, but her auburn or very fair sister, should never wear them, preferring light horn, or, better still, rimless
That nevero lohk which glasses give to come wearers can be avoid- ed if the hair is suitably dressed. It should not he brushed away over the "cars, but rather arranged in such a style that if frames the face.
On the other mind, andgo"THE fines, is to be avoided. The fluffy type would be well advised to west rimless glasses.
Almost as unnoticeable are the new glasses with rims made in white gold.
WOMAN'S PAGE.
THE FLATTERING CAPE EFFECT:
COOL; YOUTHFUL FROCKS FOR ALL OCCASIONS.
Resorts are swarming with gaily dressed women, and it seems that 1030 has brought the loveliest sum- mer fashions ever. Many of the dresses feature the lingerie details, flattering flares and pleats that have re-established woman's femininity. They are quite the newest things for every conceivable sumper oc casion. Put one on bright and early in the morning, and you can still look fresh at the end of the day, And for the dance, there's nothing more wispy and demure than 3 pastel print with fluttering cape and flared skirt. Here are a few delightful models that the fashion worl has bowed to. Dresses for town wear, and wispy fröcke that can be worn for formal afternoon occasions and semi-formal evenings, with equal assurance of charming appropriateness.

Dolly Vardon's new consignment- of Autumn felt hats and sports suits have just been unpacked. I only had a chance to see a few of them and those were really beauti ful. The sports suits in three and four pieces are all tailor-made; some have half-length coats, others full length, and the skirts are flared or pleated in the latest style. I hope to be able to give fuller de- tails next week.

THE GARIBALDI COAT.
SMART DRESS EFFECTS WITH SCARVES.
A skirt of same dark colour, and over it a bright or light coat, which fastens close and has a belt, is one of the latest Paris fashious.
Under the coat-the Garibaldi coat-may be attached to a sleeve- less, bodice.
For these many colours are: chosen. A blue skirt with a white and red blouse has a bright red coat of fne cloth or tussore, which has no collar, but which tolds over in front to the throne and is kept in place by a narrow belt of blue leather at the waist and a button at the neck,
The same idea is carried out in a white tusscre dress with a tussore coat in green, held to the figure with a narrow black leather belt which has a buckle of green and black enamel..
In both cases, & beret to match either the coat or thu frock is worn. It may also combine both colours.
The Polonaise.
This old-fashioned garment has re-appeared as a blouse.
A black coat and skirt, the coat being three-quarters length, may have a light-colcured polonaise or blouse, reaching to within a quar- ter of an inch of the coat's hem. But it must not show when the coat is worn.

The collar should close to the throat and be tied with narrow pink strings. Many a

Admitted that the dress is open at the neck in front, pointed for preference, the scarf is fixed-in- visibly at the point nearest the waist line.
It is then carried up one side, round the neck, and the shoulder in freat is looped into a bow and ends to fall down the opposite side of the bodice.
