A Doctor says:
"I do not think so good a food as Glaxo can be brought before the public by the medical profession too strongly."
Glaxo is the food doctors recommend and rear their own babies on. This is because Glaxo is not an "art'ficial" food, but is just pure, uncontaminated milk made safe and suitable for baby by the Glaxo process. Glaxo contains NO malt, NO flour, NO starch.

The matching jacket and hat | of gay cretonne is a very smart accessory to any costume, and if one makes the coat sleeveless, the question of fit is greatly modified.
HANDPAINTED HATS. Handpainted hats are very smart and easy to make. Simply buy a white or coloured felt and, with a smal water colour brush and a little oil paint or dye, trans- pose thereon your favourite flowers. If you prefer conven tional designe, stick to anglos and

THE LATEST ORNAMENTS.
Platinum chains, looped across the upper arm, and fastened on either side with safety pins to the gown, are the latest whim of fashion in the world of jewellery. One very beau tiful chain was set witht pearls and had a diamond and black onyx centre.

FANS RIVAL BOUQUETS.
There is no doubt that fans have been more freely used at Court this year than bouquets, Apart from the fact that flowers fade ao quickly in beated rooms, few things add more to the charm of an elaborate evening toilette than a beautiful fan which often serves to contribute the requisite dash of colour required to enhance the beauty of the ultra elaborate dresses worn on such occasions.
Noto should also be made of the fact that the vogue for the singlo plumed fan went out with the simple drosses of a season or two ago..
Coloured feathers are in more request than those of pure white, which are now reserved almost entirely for debutantes' use. Pale shades of gold, beautiful pinks, and shaded mauve feathers make some of the most lovely fane, the plumes for which can either be of the lancar or the straight ostrich variety,

NOVELTIES IN FOOTWEAR.
A new fashion in footwear is a clever combination of satin sad suede, the back of the shoe and the heel being made of satin, while the frontaliows an elaborate strapping made of six or eight bars of stede dyed to match. Other new shoes that are in grost demand for wear with black toilettes, are made of a novelty chessboard check patent leather, which is cleverly stamped by a special process to "achieve thie effect.
NOVELTIES IN SILVER.
Powder boxes and little jewellery cases, made of silver and enamelled in black or in vivid colours. Often the enamel work re- presents quaint figures and Scones; the allhouette effact is quite charming.
Watch stands which are being chosen as presents soasist of silver wish- bones, for luck, fixed up right on a coloured base. The ring of the watch is alipped over a little cleft in the angle of the wish-bone.
Dutch doll sugar tongs, in solid silver, with an enamelled head. The doll has uplifted arms, and these are drawn together to work the tongs, which are the doll's legs. Sold in soft leather cases.

OUR AFTERNOON FROCKS,
Frocks destined for wear at in formal functions Are plain, straight and plentifully pleated, the finest of pleats only being used.
Fancy silke are employed more than any other material, with a plain silk in a dominating shade forming a border, and perhaps, # sach as a means of trimming...
Sleeves are quite short in the more original types of frocks, but long and clinging closely to the arm in the more dignified and quieter models. All are of a good, length, the majority reaching below the ankle; but none, up till now, have dared to sweep the floor
Full overskirts over tighter akirts, the top skirt being sa arranged as to suggest an ides of great fullness, are to be seen on; many afternoon models.
NURSERY PATCHWORK.
