The crepe effect in materials, is still favoured, likewise all the "wrinkled materials, ranging from "satiu froisse" down to the new version of our old friend "crepon." In cotton materials, especially, these crepe effects are in great demand for the fashion- ing of little house dresses or inexpensive morning frocks.
Walking coats are straight as a rule, with a slight fullness at the back, and perhaps on the hips if the wearer is inclined to be stout The most becoming of all models show a top part that is inclined to blouse over a little at the back, a plain front, and a skirt part quite straight and in- clined to hold the hips well io.

Pound three ounces of cooked cold salmon (tinned salmon may be used), add two tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise, tablespoonful of unsweetened condensed milk, a teaspoonful of pepper anchovy essence, salt, and a finely minced gherkin.
Make a paste by pounding the yolks of three hard-boiled eggs with half an ounce of butter, a teaspoonful of lemon juice and six or seven picked and chopped shrimps, season well, and rub through a sieve. Spread this mixture between slices of brown or white bread and butter.
CURTAINS THREADED WITH RIBBON.
The smart window cur tains of the moment are of coarse, square-meshad net, usually crasm, though. there is a certain orase for yellow. A deep. border of joined filet lace squares, with qualot de- signs of beasts, birds and figures, is sometimes seen, though usually the cur tains are finished with a simple edging.
A novel and pretty alternative is to make a hem about an inch and e half wide, all round, and run through it gold ribbon. or braid, which shows in subdued glints through the mesh. Coloured rib bon, to tone with the pre dominating tint of the room, cas, of course, be used with equal effect.

Jewelled shoulder straps "for" evening frocks are a recent novelty in Paris. They take the place of the fabric straps and are usually combination of dia- monds and sapphires, or diamonds and emeralda. Pears are effec tively used this way.
THE PLATE CLOCK.
There is a quaint and novel new clock, suitable for the morning room or nursery, which, at the first glance, looks like a Chins plate such as one would hang on the wall for decorative purposes. The face, complete with num bera and hands, is in the centre, and little scenes of blue windmills and towers are pictured on the rim, Of clock-works or pen- dulum there is no sign.
"The unusual and unex- pected are always fasci- nating, and this Dutch-like white and blue *ólock- which is called, indeed, à plate clock-intended for banging high on the wall, suggests old-fashion- ed chintzes, painted formi- ture, and an atmosphere fresh and springlike."
