SEEN AT WHITEAWAY": LAIDLAW
Whitesways have some exqui- site stationary-lovely paper and in various colours, also, a line of just **- novelties. They have celted a shipment of the latest bags, in several shapes, sizes and colours.
Some of Whiteaways bags which I considered' particularly attractive were round, made of pig skin-so very suitable to go with a sports outfit.
For practical gifts a visit to their furnishing department would not be amiss. They have some of the loveliest pure wool- len blankets for single as well as for double beds, the prices of which are very moderate.

A few dresses; both afternoon and evening have also been re- celved and, unless one pays a visit in the near future, they are ikely to be disappointed. The dresses received can be had in taffeta, satin and in angel "lace" which is quite the latest thing Dame Fashion has selected in the way of materials and most unusual.

The travelling Cushions thought very handy, and as for their Barbola Work, it is really amazing how many different kinds of articles have been turn-· ed out in this new line this year. I saw some of the cutest sweet clothes bottles, powder bowls, brushes, ashtrays, pencils and a million other things-really far too numerous to mention.
A very nice gift for the "dog lover' comprised of a brush and comb set which was very attrac-. tively put up.

The great novelty of the winter. is the "halo" plait for evening

These plaits are 'expen- sive, barely an inch wide with clever clips at each end preclud ing any possibility of detachment. They can be chosen to match the exact colouring of their owners', own dresses, or in contrast.
Semi evening styles steam ahead, composed of skirts, Jackets and blouses. Bagheera velvet is a favourite material for long straight skirts that look exceedingly. slim beneath jackets Smartly cut and handsomely" trimmed with fur de luxe like silver fox or sable. Sable, in one instance, is used to form fat, rounded revers on a jacket with big sleeves almost canonical in aspect. Women realise the eco- nomy of possessing a black velves. skirt with several blouses in metal-brocade, lame or tissue to make a change. Most of these blouses have long sleeves or a cape effect and all have the high neckline, usually tying under the chini in a bow. A simple velvet
dress, with draped neckline, in

MY LOVE in her ATTIRE
The strong note in the Bru- yere collection is youthful simp- Hcity this winter, a winter which includes some months of shine iri the South.
In agreement with all the other dress designers this season, she has decided to make the three- quarter, loose-fitting coat to go. over a little dress or a simply, cut and tailored coat and skirt That fashion, is growing, and it is practical, since the three-. quarter loose coat serves two- purposes by going, with both a little dress and a coat and skift It may even be drawn into ser vice with a sports suit or skirt, jumper, and cardigan.
DECORATIONS
Bruyere also makes the popular fur waistcoat, and the cloth cost with fur sleeves. In all her dres- ses there is waist and hip trim- ming, such as flat stitching and tucking, the former being of the closely quilted style like that seen on old-fashioned white counter- pates.A
The neck-line of dresses is also decorative, with little ribbons. under the chin, with metal balls set round the collar with : light stitching running in sun-ray pat tem over the shoulders of dark bodices. Many of the neck-lines gape behind.
Shirt fronts in bright colours are applied to some dresses, as when a navy blue dress, hár: s front of light-bluey in a shirt front shape.
Crochet is a trimming which is used in three ways. A white dress for the South has a little crochet edging to the skirt, - and, on the shoulders crochet aquares
are inset. There are black silk crochet sleeves to a black dress,
Button-holes are used as a fort
of emborodery. A line of: "wide" button-holes is threaded with bright or dark ribbon to form a waistline or to trim the edge of1.
