Spring Fashion Follows Féminine Trend
Flowers And Fringes, Embroideries, Softer Colourings, Gold And Silver Kid, Floral Toquer
(BY THE HON. MRS. C. W. FORESTER)
Line, colours, fabrics and fashion detalls all forecast a more femi- nine feeling in dress. Clothes for formal or informal wear show such elegancies from the past basques, fan-like tails, spreading rosettes, panels and over-draperies. Postes or sprays of flowers, high decorative shoulder straps, fringes and bows are all interesting, while another novelty is to have shoes and gloves finely embroidered to go with a special" frock. All these de- lightful details do much to cheer the salon and ballroom, and give promise of still greater beauty for the spring.

Apart from all the pageantry which is sure to appear as we draw. nearer to Coronation time, men's clothes are becoming invest- ed with attractive ultra-feminine importance.
Unconsciously the mode is fol- lowing in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth, who is so subtly sensi- choice of tive to colour. and who in the her new variations In soft pale shades will affect SUT- siderably the general selection for· the spring.
Queen Elizabeth has always shown that she has very sound ideas in dress. Though she is spe- cially skilful in escaping the com- mon-place, she avoids exaggerated styles.
At the moment, we can realise the charm of the pastel tones in clothes for the Riviera, Egypt, and In similar styles for southern beaches farther afield. The ma- jority of younger women
select altra-simple semi-sports costumes in élastic yarns embracing all kinds of woven wool designs and rayons. New feather-weight materials are a feature of one-piece frocks in white and pale shades; a new kind of tub-frock that, on account of being carried out in superior crêpes and novelty weaves, re- quires more detailed stitchery and perfection of work,
There are some pleasing changes in the two-piece. One of the new tunic effects, destined for Cannes.v was in a dirty pink crêpe. It was cut in one, but a long tunic-like look was suggested by separate pieces of the crêpe that formed fares at each side of the straight frock. Large brown velvet buttons оп either alde emphasised the tunic air.
FOR WOMEN OF
DISCERNMENT
E
There are still people who con- sider Eau de Cologne merely an accessory to the daily tollet, and yet to-day it is not only an indis- pensable item on milady's dressing table, but is valued everywhere for Its stimulating and cooling pro- perties. To relieve headaches, soothe jaded nerves, or refresh you when tired and hot, there is noth-. ing to beat "4711" Genuine Eau de Cologne.
By the way. women who like a special note in their Eau de Cologne, will appreciate the ro- mantle charm of "4711" Tosca Eau de Cologne, which links the delight- ful fragrance of "4711" Tosca with the revivifying qualities of "4711" Genuine Eau de Cologne. It is really a glorious modern perfume in Eau de Cologne ardent and lovely like 1 southern night- bestowing charm and banishing dullnes.
