WHEN TO WEAR BRIGHT COLOURS
Dark Suit As Basis Of
Smart Fashion
While rejoicing in summer days. we who would be.well- dressed must be cautious in trie mixing of our various hues.

Modern dress is' decorative, in so many ways, especially with the return to the
wonderful floral chiffons. For street wear dress for some time has favoured & somewhat, saber trend. but as occasion warrants women
will burst into colour over the acces-. sories. Bright colours mostly ap-... pear in extras, for fashion ad- heres to black and navy as the foundation of the practical ward- Icbe.
Alpaca, taffeta, serge, sük and faille, so suitable for town wear, can be on the dark side, and yet be exally cheered by vivid touches
of green, scarlet, and yellow; or,
if a quiet charm he wished for, there is always the becoming contrast of white...

The blouse, of the day provides some of the gayest colourfu

we wish depart from the claims of white and cream. There is the tailored silk "shantung in checks and all sorts of blends to wear with the navy-blue serge .or the new crinkle-crepe in bright Plain shades. There arc also many fine crepe de Chines in beautiful shades, with hand-stitched em- broidery or brilliantly-coloured tafetas, used for sleeveless fronts and double-breasted. waistcoats. Colour can be plentifully intro- duced to assist our desire for variety.
What looks smarter for sum-' mer
days than the plain
or patterned sult of black aavy or darkest grey, relieved with a lovely pale-peach, faded- blue, or apple-green satin blouse, and a flat bat of the dark tone with a multi-coloured oral or feathered crown?. Gloves. bag. belt, buttonhole, and even shoes for summer days, can add the cheerful colouringa.
I am told that I always advise the dark street-sult for all weathers Possibly that is 50, because I am so often appalled half-soiled by the medley of summery ensembles composed of ficwery fabrics that women man age to collect One finds girls with new summer wardrobes de- claring "they have nothing to wear." Summer sun may have changed suddenly to dali, chilly conditions, and the chiffon crea- tions are unsuitable. Whereas i the navy silk serge suit were there, and one or to serviceable blouses in addition, all would be well.
Summer-time suggests gay colours and we can make use of new and lovely chiffons, but they should be reserved for really gala occasions or for evening dresses.

The decorative gured chiffons colourful and charming. Mary are of dark background, with Japanese designs, small and full of colour.
There are, too. some riew coloured crepes, small and bright of design. These are fashioned
simply with plain crepe or net trills forming the slight "bustle" drapery down the back. Some girlish evening dresses are made with tunics, with plain satin. or silk under-dress. This idea pro- vides change when required.

Debutantes can choose dresses that are useful as well as decora- tive. While the printed chiffon collection should be in a general way kept for special smart day "or dinner wear, there can be two yles of chiffony flowered fabric so arranged that the colours can both harmonise with" a smart taffeta wrap-coat, which serves

for summer days or nights. In these times the outside wrap is generally required to be in res- diness, and with forethought it can be so chosen as to be usable with other plain light dresses, as well as the floral and lace varie- ty.
There are many white crepe pique coats to be seen worn with darker dresses and white fabot or tie. Black and white, or any dark colour with white, is more
than ever popular. All-white hata have returned to favour. Millinery promises to Improve, and a welcome dip and eye-shade will replace any lingering desire for the halo hat.
Lane, Crawford's have just re- ceived a new consignment of very smart rain-coats in the famous **Milwatas." There was "an ex- tremely striking one in a grey waterproof Viyella lined with satin, ." "This speciai model does a double service, as it acts as a dust cont as well as for the stormy weather. Then there was another in a mus- tard shade and black with the tle collar. A very smart nigger brown with brown and white checked collar attracted my attention.
SNAPPY COSTUMES Maizees. I have seen the snap- plest bathing costume in town and where do you imagine it was from? Malzee's, of course. Again their trade mark hits one's eyes. "Al- ways something new." A beautiful blue one plece outht in a check. design, absolutely backless, just "a lacing around the acck that keeps the front of the suit in place and. oh! boy! what a costume too! Then there were several others almost as snappy in this new Dupont-Acele heavy silk and made in two thick- nesses. This would prevent it from clinging to the body which ne silk suits usually do, but these would only show off your figure if you own one.

London, June 20.
So defalte is the trend towards extreme simplicity and a Spartan mode of life in the nurseries of to-". day that elaborate fashions in baby clothes and luxuriously furnished rooms for children. may soon be found only in the homes of the less well-to-do,
This movement is being led by“ the doctors of the Babies' Clubs to which So many mothers In Mayfair and Belgravia are subs- cribers. It is the children who are members from birth, not the mothers who take their babies down themselves in their cars once a week or once a fortnight to have them weighed and ex- amined in exactly the routine as the working-class mothers at municipal infant wel- fare centres.

Simplicity begins with the "cot and the baby clothes. The ap- proved model shown to mothers at these clubs is a simple English willow anc, resembling the plait- ed rush Moses basket on a stand. provided with handles so that the cob can be taken of the stand and placed in the garden," or in one of the standard side wire "cages" erected outside nurs sery windows.
