"We always use Lactogen.. our babies thrive on it”
Says the Superintendent of a Medical Mission
"In the Medical Mission whenever we have to substitute mother's milk we always use Lactogen and we find our babies thrive on it. Mother's milk is the best food for baby, but whenever a substitute is needed my experience has proved Lactogen is the nearest and best suited food for babies. ore at liberty to use this letter."

NEW MATERIALS AND COLOURS
Materials
kre the interesting
point in fashion at the · moment Redler has made a collection of
plain woollen materials in rich col-
ours; wine-reds, raspberry-red. spinach-green, slate-blue, and dark brown running to belge. Fringed materials are prominent in
this
collection. Some have lines and stripes of fringe in the same colour. A fringe may be straightly 'com-
bed or be knotted. A plain width of material may have a line of fringe running down the middle. Woollen crêpes have slik patterns, circles, curls, and fringes of slik and wool mixed.
A pleasant material with a suède.. surface is called peau de
marmotte.
It is cushmere with a duvetyn fin-
ish. In two well tested woollens known as Ralpella and Granissa there are 180 different shades of colour. This is the first time that Rodier has had so many shades in one material. Among the few figured materials for winter coats is one with a woollen ground into which is woven long, shiny, polecał hairs and here and there square designs of mohair which look like astrakhan. Tímbrah is
a; new woollen, the pattern on which is derived from postage stamps. The dark ground is broken with lozenges of bright colours set in straight lines, equally placed and so woven as to look as if they were darned. Some of the Rodler wool- lens, as is the custom of the arm. are designed specially for scarves, blouses, and waist-coat." The most recent of these is a soft mix- türe of artificial silk and cashmere.

Real silk and artificial silk are put together in heavy crêpes. An advantage of the cloqué materials this season is that the blister is produced in the weaving and so does not stretch away from the foundation, Lamé is very much used. Gold threads are woven into silks and satins in such a way as to make them look as if they had been sprinkled with gold. There

Gaufered muslins have big flower designs. Persian designs are com- monly used on lamés. Velvets are both plain and figured. The new velvets,are 1 metre 30 centimetres. wide. Cloqué velvets havé a sur- face which is both dull and shiny on the same side. Some of the printed silks, look as if they had been painted in oil,
