Princess Marina Sets New
Stocking Fashion
A revival of the obsolete fashion for white stockings to accom- pany evening gowns of white, is predicted.
We are informaed that Princess Marina has decided to wear" stockings of the finest white silk with her bridal gown rather
than those of flesh or sun-tan shades.
In accordance with one of the latest trends of fashion, these "stockings are woven without clox, and have been specially made
for the Princess by the British Arin.of I, and R, Morley.
Princess Marina has also chosen hose for her trousseau in six different shades for daytime wear, including new fawn, oatmeal, and Orient,
A feature of these trousseau stockings is the exquisitely fine crown and monagram which has been knitted into the tops, of each pair,
Beauty Without Bother
Busy women with little time to fuss, as they term it, over their. appearance are wrong when they Imagine that good grooming and
soigne appearance demand constant attention and unlimited money, time and leisure with which to. Indulge in an endless variety of expensive and complicated treatments:
Treatments of this kind are useful and excellent for the euring or assisting of some parti- cular defect; they are, too. a delightful juxury
one can afford them) for those occasions when, one wishes to look one's best.
But in the main good looks _are_dependent not so much upon
these pleasurable extras as upon ** ten or afteen ininutes daily ċare, both o Fising in the morning and again on retiring at night.
Given this, it should be poss- ible (except in cases of some abnormality) for every woman to keep her skin clear and radiant,. and in good condition.
On rising, the Arst need of the skin is to be thoroughly cleansed. This can done with water and a good bland soap, or with cleansing cream. The choice must depend on the judgment of the individual.
In all cases where, the water is hard, I would advise à cleansing cream as being preferable.
In applying it, take a pad of cotton-wool and squeeze it out in cold water, Soak the damp wool in skin tonle, dip it into the jar of cream and wipe it well over the face with an upward move- ment.
You must Lift your Face
The direction in which you move is important, since by work ing up you tend to lift the face, wheresa working the other way You drag it down
Another point to remember is to move out above the eyelids and in underneath, b
The same thing holds good "when""you" apply massage créan or sian food. A
"When all the skin has been
thoroughly cleansed wipe off
cream with tissues
every scrap of the one of the soft paper made for the purpose.
The next step is to close the pores and stimulate the circula- tion by patting briskly with tonic. This is best done by, soaking a fresh plece of wool with water and tonic, and tying it on the end of a rubber patter. Pat with an upward movement all over the face, until the skin is glowing.
Pat a little more briskly under the chin and along the jaw.
So much for the cleansing and Loning. Now for those finishing touches which are to make the complexion stay "put" during the day.
Slightly damp-the-aldin-with tonic; then, taking a little founda- tion cream on the tips of the two middle fingers of each hand, pat
It gently on to the cheek-bones, the forehead, and the chin, blend- ing it in until it is absolutely even and smooth.
Next smooth a little rouge on each side of the face, fairly high up. in order to defeat any signs of fatigue which may make their appearance as the day progresses. Follow with powder, lipstick, and a touch of mascara on the lashes as. Usual.'
Repeat - Night and Morning
<On" retiring cleanse the face as before, and then" massage in a good glein food, moving in the same direction as that which has already been described,
If your skin is dry, choose, a' rich and fairly heavy cream, and leave a thin film on all night. If It is more inclined to be greasy you must use one that is lighter and altogether less "fatty," and wipe it off immediately
It there are any open pores, finish by smoothing in a little pore cream and allow to re- main on until you rise in the morning.
Neither the night nor morning skin care could be called arduous, but carried out in this
will undoubtedly lead to the health and radiante which are *80 en- viable in all women.
Paris Says-
Metal Tissues, Velvets, Plush And
Bright Sophistication
"
It seems that we are to have a brilliant future in dress. Metal tissues, metal threads interwoven with wool and silk, metal laces and sequins in gold, silver, and copper are being used extensively. Cellophane, too, is another fav- ourite especially for re-embroider- ing lace in leaf and flower designs.
We are also to have a great deal of velvet of all kinds. It will come in with the autumn in the shape of hats, blouses, trimmings,
and corduroy coats, skirts, and coat frocks. It will be used for the evening for dresses, in the afternoon for tunics, in all colours and in many varieties, including printed brocaded velvets in bright colours. Synthetic velvets which have metal threads in them arı" much to the fore."
Race for Novelty The manufacturers have been Lumbling over each other to find "new materials, by mixing the yarns, threads and ways of dye- ing, weaving," printing, and em- broidering them
One goes to see a Rodier, a Le Sur, a Blanchini, a Rémond col- Jection, and comes away bewilder- ed, not only by the weird names that are given to the woollens. aliks, and synthetics, but by the textures themselves. Sadly mur- muring that "things are not what they "seem," you hope that when the collections are shown you will recognise the new alpaca, the new crêpes, the new ottoman silk, and all the rest of the new materials which the new season will reveal.
We hear of hairy plush, plain and frosty, of a mixture of moiré silk and angora wool
Bouclette woollen materials continue to please the Rue de la. Paix, which uses also lacquered and varnished materials;

Velvet hats are keeping the milliners busy. The tricorne and the beret are the two shapes which are so far the most fav- oured.
The tricore is very easy to play with when you are as clever as Reboux, as Le Monnier, as Agnes, and others It can make an elderly woman look her best, -worn with 'a vell, and it can give a jaunty line to a young head well carried. Opene

It may be a real tricorne, or its corners may be so manipulated that they are not any more than fust three points, but may have one, exaggerated" point" and two disappearing pinches.
The beret is important It is soft," "fill," "sophisticated in style, and may be trimmed with fear thers pompoms, paradise plumes. tassel, or any other little trim- ming of the kid
The Wrap-over line is clearly gaining ground Wrap-over skirts, wrap-over coats, wrap-over bods- ces of all kinds and many varie ties are what are seen.
The wrap-over skirt means a slim line and a good deal of.com- promise with comfort, unless it be slit at the hem or so deeply fold- ed as to give a fulness that is hid-
·den.
There is also the front panel dress and the tunic, aut at the sides or on one only, along short, figured.

Importance Of The Belt
Belts are very important this Besson, and a good choice "can completely transform a plain woollen frock and make it into something extremely chic.
Among the belts that are par- ticularly successful this autumn there are ribbed bläck suede mo¬ dals with fastenings in a golden sunray design. For tweed frocks there are plain calf belts with the new circular wooden buckles, while stitched oilskin belts are unusual and have light glass-like buckles.
The "cartridge belt" and an- other in suede with chromium studs and buckle are especially suitable for wearing with the Rus- sian type of tunic frocks.
Evening belts glisten ari gleam as they are usually made of dia- mante or paillettes,
Ideas in Bags
Some of the leading, dress de- signers have decided that your Eandbag should match your hat Uncrushable velvet is a popular choice for winter hats, and-it fol- tows, therefore, that bags for use at the same time are made from the same material,
Tweed handbags for wearing with sports clothes are still popu- lar, and an "Old Glam's Cloth" has been used for one design, which is both novel and practical. For the wearers of luxury furs there is an equally luxurious bandbag made from velvet, calf- or lambskin. It has a lovely quilt- ed lining and is made with a large triangular flap.
Another new idea in bags has a fountain pen secreted in the clasp. When this is being used a revol- ving pencil that usually lives in- side the bag, can take its place.

- All this sparkle and glitter that is being used in the dress world may-add a great deal of galety to our evenings, but it undoubtedly. needs choosing, and balancing, with care.
When you are very slender and suinciently rich you can riot in sparkles as much as you please on some nights, knowing that you can ring the changes with velvet, rustling taffetas and lustrous faille or satin on others.
If you are neither wealthy nor particularly slim you will concent- rate on the less aggressively sparkling materials. There are some exquialte examples of these. Satins and velvets with delicate metal designs running through them; chiffons and nets with minute beads; and sequins with a very dull surface.
Accessories like belts, bracelets and short capes, or jackets are further possibilities for Atting in with the prevalent trend without being too aggressive about it.
Schiaparelli Schiaparelli is using cellophane belts most successfully on some of her newest evening dresses; and one of the loveliest of her mid- Reason gowns was in motre net, black over white, with white se- quin flowers on the left shoulder,
Another entirely different, was in, deep blue silk with a tiny de- sign, which looked like minute sil- ver Christmas trees, all over it. Unlike the majority of present evening dresses, this had a thal- low decolletage and amusing little puff sleeves. Very demure but not at a dull
