VIOLETS

London,

New York fashions are becoming

a bigger and bigger influence on what

over smart women wear here. Latest news is that smart New York has gone violet-crazy.

Violet is the colour for spring sults, for afternoon dresses, and (often allled with primrose yellow) for romantic, Edwardian-looking evening gowns.

And of course, violets are the flower to wear. They sprout from the tops of quaint little straw hats; they are fastened to muffs; they are tucked into the corsages of off-the-shoulder Winterhalter dresses.

The sketch shows how fresh violets, deliciously scented, bring. ing a whiff of spring to, the ball- room, are used with one of these decorative Victorian gowns

The ordinary small, almost scentless violets are useless for carrying out this idea. You want the big blossoms about one and a half taches in diameter, called "Princess of Wales." These are in good season in London now.

ALL FOR BEAUTY

Acidity in the system has the effect of turning lipsticks blue, so If you are a rheumatic subject or have any other reason to suspect acidity choose a lipstick inuch more orange in shade than the natural colour of healthy ps. If you use one which looks red when smeared on your hand, it will assume a purplish raspberry tinge when applied to the lips, where contact is not broken by the delicate

POPULAR PRINT DRESSES

Printed silks are

very popular this year, but the patterns are much more conservative and there are less of the olg splashy designs which were worn last season, and there are stripes of various kinds and descriptions, pin stripes, Ro man stripes in novelty colourings, stripes with multi-colour floral patterns. Dots have had a big revival this year. These are shown ir a casual afternoon type with white pique touches at the neck.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER STYLES

Hats are so strangely divergent this year that I think they deserve 1 special mention. One salon has gone so far as to introduce Mother and Daughter millinery fashions. Mother and daughter wear identi- cal hats. Rather a quaint notion, but very effective and wholly charming when the hat is a navy sheer straw bonnet with a pink taffeta ruching edging the brim-- or a coloured plaid woven straw with a wide fluted"brim and trim- mings of tiny red love apples: at the base of the shallow crown.

Chin straps are worn on every conceivable type of hat, bonnets, rolled rims, sailors, pill boxes. Sailors, of course, are favourites for spring-and the most logical with your "tailleur."

The up- ward trend in hair has brought on an upward movement in brims; a large off-the-face mlian straw has a roller brim with a truncated cone crown and is in a navy felt with the inevitable chin strap. All the fripperles of the early-part of this century are used. Flowers, velvet ribbons, humming birds, fand, here and there, a tiny ostrich feather. Draped turbans are ever popular at the beginning of any season.. There are some women who never wear any other kind of head covering. This year the colours are vivid and exciting. Chiffons are used in combinations of luscious colours: chartreuse and green with scarves to match.
