Afternoon And Evening
At Paquin's there are now long tweed coats, ample below the waist, fur lined, and with belts. They go over simple, slim frocks. which have short skirts, short sleeves, bright belts, and buttons of metal, crystal, or paste. The tunic dress prevails for afternoon. and may be worn in the evening. A sum black crêpe satin dress has a tunic which has very little fare behind and a good deal in front. There are halt a dozen or more big buttons of rose-coloured crystal down one side of the bodice and reaching below the hips. Necklines are high and simple, either round- ed to the buse of the throat or with a very slight collar."

A brown woollen jersey dress has gilt buttons down the front of the bodice and a gilt clasp to the belt. With it may go a beige tweed coat. lined with nutria. There nutria collar with cufis to match. Plenty of room for the knees, and a good fold-over with a belt to hold in place at the waist make this a good travelling coat. Most of the sleeves of coats, jackets, dresses. have some fullness at the top of the arm. Woollen face is used for afternoon and evening dresses, united to woollen jersey. In black, warm red, purple, there are several " lace dresses suitable for little din ners and bridge tens. Long capes of nutria, a loose coat of shaved" bear, are for the afternoon.

At Robert Piguet's the little dresses for alternoon are all wide
and full at the hem. In some the fullness sturts above the knees and in long evening dresses from the hips. There are bell sleeves to some of the dresses, and short, slightly puffed sleeves to others. The waistline is marked just above the" hips, rising in front. The shoulder line is wide but soft and looks as If the sleeve and bodice were cut In one, though this may not be so. All the evening dresses have open backs and rather high fronts. A remarkable restaurant dress is in purple and flame colour. The long tight skirt is in purple jersey and the bodice and long saah dra-' pery down the side in flane-colour- ed crêpe. The sleeves are long. Piguet alsu bses woollen Jersey' with lace tor black afternoon dresses. Slate-coloured woollens are used to make trim Jack tailor- mades worn with brightly checked. blouses. The hats have visor vells and thrusting brims over one eye. Some have high crowns.
Marcel Rochas uses a great deal"" of woollen Jersey for sport and morning dresses worn with trim little jackets. He has abandoned accessories and relies on pin tuck- ing and applications for trimmings, He also uses three colours in one ensemble to get bright effects. A skirt of navy blue goes with a lime- green Norfolk jacket of stock- ingette, and about the neck an orange scarf is tucked Into the jacket.

The Siberian Fur Store with their show room' on the Ist foor. Gloucester Building. have beauti- ful evening. coats in Ermine, Squirrel and Kalinsky, and also very smart and good looking fur copes and neck pieces.
BUTTONS
Ornamental buttons are much used at present both for fastening and for trimming hand-knitted jumpers, trocks and cardigans. It is advisable to stitch them on wth, wool, for if silk or thread 's used it is apt to drag the knitt- ing, and It is also dficult tu unpick if a button has to be re moved or readjusted. Buttons that are made with metal loops for stitching on may sometimes be more "satisfactory attached by means of the metal clips made a for waistcoat bultons. The loop. is easily slipped through the knitting and secured at the back with a clip. This method of attachment has two great advant-... -ages; the buttons are easily and firmly adjusted in the required position, and they may be quickly. removed if the garment has to be washed. Buttons that actually fasten the front of a cardigan may be stitched through to smil- fer buttons on the inside This prevents them from tearing the Knitted edge or dragging it out óf shape if undue strain. is scclden- tally put on them.

BRUSHED-UP CURLS ARE U.S. WOMEN'S CORONATION MODE
.
Coronation preparations have gone to the heads of American
women.
New styles demonstrated before "10,000 hairdressers in New York, says Reuter, included many sim- plified versions of elaborate regal styles.
These had
brushed-up curls, sometimes circling the entire head like a
crown, and thus forming what is becoming known as the new "Coronation" style,
The 10,000 hairdressers also heard that to be fashionable "all hair is to be brushed-up from the face. smoothly groomed, never flying, never hanging down."
Curls are now considered better than waves. There is no trend towards long hair--and the fash- lonable shade is "brownette," a reddish-gold tint now made po- pular by Jean Harlow, the Qim
stor.

Coronation Plate
Inverted sausage curls, which are combed out by their wearers so that they fall the reverse way, parting behind the ears, with curls arranged to fall over the top of the ear, and front curls brushed out to form a miniature pompadour in Edwardian style are being given one young to her clients by
colture expert, She does not allow setting lotion to be used when these curls are made, only water, so that cutting has to be very skilful,-
A new rinse has been devised to bring out the "blue bloom" in very dark or black hair, which was such a striking feature in Bargent's portrait of beautiful Lady. Chol-” mondeley.
Brown hair has usually either golden or auburn tints which can be brought out by a matching rinse, and grey hair can either have a blue or a mauve rinse. *
The round young face is the correct choice for high hair- dressing with curs, and "women with long, oval or pointed faces are being advised not to adopt thala fashion, which will make them look emaciated. Curls at one side, with a software over the fore- head, such as Mrs. Dudley Ward wears, are much more becoming to the slender face.
