What the Well-Dress- ed Woman is Doing
Colour Detail
In Paris women like peach col- our lingerle more than any other little shade, though there a blue. Green and black have quite gone out of fashion. For negli- gee wear, palest pink velvet mules with a velvet bow at one side are" the last word in attractiveness. Sandal shoes in gold and silver are seen and one black velvet palr. In both Paris and London coral is a favourite shade, so is the dim pink of rose quartz, ard the deeper tones of tourmaline and calcedoine,

Hair Bandeaus
The success of the bandeau has led to the creation of many new designs for the devotees of this attractive evening mode. Indiv- Iduality is the latest cry. Smart women are revolting against the uniform look of sculptured waves and curled ends. Silk chains in alterns to light and dark shades to match the frock form a pretty circlet the, debutante. More dignifier for the older women is a blue halo swathed with silver. arranged to rest Hghtly on the hair,
Edwardian Modes
There is a marked tendency.to- wards the fashions that were in force at the beginning of this century. The simplest "tailored suits have coats with an inclln-.. ation to a.. ".pinch-in " at the waist, and a hint of squareness of shoulder. Lapets are, like collars, wide and bold. Whether it is a top-coat or the slim blp-length model that may have a skirt of its own, all the new coats show much real fitting.
Evening Wear Fashions
#
While the high evening neckline is still general, there are signs that the "low-cut evening dress will return. There are some very low and square" necklines and others are pointed deeply. Back draperies range from short pleat- ed bustles to long flowing paneli gathered in at the waist, and sa- shes tied in large bows. Many formal evening dresses have fe welled shoulder straps, and large diamante ornaments, and some have yokes sleeves or capelets of beads of massed sequins. Chiffons in white or pastel colours Bro
il
lightly embroidered with aliver beads and rhinestones.

Four Hairdressing Modes
The carefully tailored short hair bob "with waves "set neatly in place; hair slightly longer-and dressed off the neck in an incon- spicuous roll; gap: bubbling curls with an aspect of insouciance, but carefully shaped to head not on- ly at the back, but on top of, the head; and coronet braids of long hair sometimes worn like diadems.
An Original Gift
Many modern brides give to eath of their bridesmaids as pre- sent a hair wave and make-up treatment from their own speel- allst, to be done, at the "bride's house. This ensures that the en- semble is complete for the wedd- ing procession and the effect is not spoilt by incongruous make- up. In the case of the coiffure a certain uniformity of style is often advised to suite headdress or hat.

Women who wish to be fashion- able this spring must try to har monise as much as possible with nature, for all the latest, dress materials which are now being displayed in the West End stores are connected in some way or other with, the, four seasons.........
The most fashionable shades are soft browns and greens, which suggest woods in the middle of April Gold tinsel is woven into many of them to give a delicate sunlight effect. Pebble crepe, a material ilke coarse soll ripple cloth, which looks like sand lapp- ed by the sea, and wind-swept satin are all to be worn when the weather gets warmer. Another attractive material for afternoon gowns is rainspot crepe, which is being sold chiefly in a sky-blue shade and which is spotted to give the effect of raindrops...
Many evening gowns are being made of allks orsating printed all over with a brilliant medley of fruit, flowers, and leaves, and In addition they are decorated with enormous posios of artificial Rowers, so that the look like. miniature gardens, Woollen ma- terials are to be worn a great deal during the day, and in this, sec- tiph one of the most charming novelties is a defeate fabric 100- sely woven in a fern pattern.
