Winter Designs For The
South
The dressmakers in the Bue de la Paix are now busy choosing new materials and making new designs for the spring and summer fash ions which will be shown at the end of the month and the begin- ning of February.
Many people are going away, or have already gone to winter sports, the Riviera, or Egypt. Use- ful woollen outfits for sport have been provided, and late afternoon dresses and capes in silks and velvet are as necessary for the Riviera as are sumptuous even- ing dresses and furs. A trousseku which went south last week in- cluded several satin dresses, which were to be worn with an excepti tape in which worked

The charm of the sequin dress to the traveller is that it does not crush. Earrings and earclips are much worn in the evening and for afternoon parties. Coves are indispensable at formal parties, and the fashion of wearing many bracelets continues: Pirie face dresses in black and net dresses in colour are being worn in Paris, Heavy Idces are not in fashion, The palik-lace insertions in a col- our to match the dress which Mainbocher introduced in his. half-season collection has found followers. It is done in black, navy-blue, brown, beige, and grey, to frim dress and Jacket ensem- bles to be worn on the Riviera
Felt hats with draped and fold- ed crowns and Irregular brims are work with cashmere scarves in a colour, or colours, to match. The scarves are fied in different ways to suit the coat, jacket, or dress with which they go. Winter overcoats are all worn open at the neck to show the warm, bright scarf at the neck. Grey is coming back, and, with blue, will be fashionable in spring.
Modern handbags are a contin ual revelation of the ingenuity of designers and manufacturers of this all-important item in a well- dressed woman's ensemble: Lea therware is being treated in novel ways and dyed in many new col 'ours. For the average woman, the great charm and attraction which stands out in a general survey of 1935 handbag fashions is the fact that however lovely and expensive exclusive designs. may be, there are equally good values in vogue and quality, to be seen among cheaper bags,

The general trend of fashion is shown in the fat and compact bag, not too large, although col- ours and shapes are varied to an infinite degree. There are bags square and oblong, oval and cir- cular, and the streamlined boat shape which is one of the new- comers. This streamlined effect is introduced in fastenings and openings, handies and chromium touches in bags at all shapes and sizes,
Colour is an outstanding fea- ture of the leathers and other materials used, and the new shades are most artistic pot in the least harsh and flamboyant. There are exquisite reds, for instance, when the bag is destined to strike a vivid note of colour in an en- semble; pale greens, greys, and a wide range of beige tones are to the fore. In bags of this type the anishing touches, the "trimming? in trade parlance, prove interest

Red and jade green crocodile are new ideas for the handbag of practical dimensions; morocco in cream and the of whites as well as in darker shades, fine seal and long grain call, pleated hide and macha are other leathers which are prominent among the latest designs. Sometimes a smooth and a raised leather surface are used in contrast on the same handbag.
Specialist Designs
There are bags for all occasionis, from the fitted handbag especial- ly designed for the woman golfter, bridge fan, and racegoer, to the business woman's handbag, and handbags for all types of dress "ensembles;
