Lane, Crawford. When I paid my weekly visit to this store 1 found the assistants busy unpacking boxes and boxes of the new Summer shoes.Fabric shoes or shoes with a calf or similar surface patterned to resemble a fabric are popular- for both Spring, and Summer. Suede in several shades, once un thought of for footwear, is smari now, and dank red, green and navy are some of the shades which can now be obtained. Dyed crocodile, lizard or reptile skin are some of the styles favoured, and many examples of this mode are seen in bienzo, gray and black. Like the length of the frocks, the height of the heel increases with the form. ality of the occasion. With long- skirted evening gowns, the highest of heels are worn, while for sport and morning wear cuban heels are smart. For walking and sports the famous British makes "Delta" and "Lotus" are in favour; these are. very well represented in Lane Crawford's select collection. The "Delin" models are made in extra- wide sizes and are fitted with storm-welt soles.
Whiteaway's have some interest- ing news about hats. Their latest models show us that larger straw hate of a natural shade are being worn and look charming with the new dresses. Models suitable for wear at any time of the day are the tweed straws, effectively work- ed in black and white, brown and white, and navy blue and white. Ribbon bows are seen everywhore. and are placed at the side of the crown or at the back. Flowers persist too-although it is still n little early to see them in large numbers.
Then there are the new Simmer dresses in flowered voiles and when you see how flattering these new styles are, you will add at least several frocks to your Summer wardrobe.
In the furnishing department. lovely assortment of new eretonnes and lace curtains is seen and I'm sure, when you see them you!!! agree with me that they are among some of the nicest seen this season." By gazing at the cretonnes and nets. I visualized some very effec. tive furnishing scherries.

Vanity Fair. As I was passing 17, Ice House Street, I noticed a new salon which has just opened, and on going in I was shown some very charming Manila straw hats in all the latest styles. If you want value for your money in these hard times you will get it at Vanity Fair na theso: hits: are marked at very tempting prices-from 8a up- wards. There is also a great variety of Summer dresses in voile; organdie, muslin ninon, georgette and silk-all with the new lingerie touches with frills and bows.
A speciality in this shop is children's wear. Small children have always been the loveliest, most precious things in the world, And smart mothers have now the ap portunity to dress them moderately in these irresistibly styled frocks, So if one pays this shop a visit this work one will see an intrigu- jpg display of pink, blue, yellow

Gordons. The matching idea is res conspicuous this year, but "en- armble this season has rather a different meaning. It conveys the thought that all accessories should be assembled to present à perfect whole-for-a ̈ particular occasion. And by this special ocension we are convinced that shoes play an indis pensable part. There are, however, common points in the new shoes; for instance they are more simple than they have been. At Gordons. this week you will see the latest in Summer footwear in their new collection which has just arrived.' The classic opera purop still holds its own for every hour of the day,
