THIS WEEK'S RECIPE.
Mention of Sir William Orpen reminds me that he is the Chair- man of a Committee consisting of representatives of every school of art which has been formed to co- operate with Sir Joseph. Duveen in giving the unknown British artist a chance to sell his work. This is a scheme which will benefit our sex, as much as the other, 1 believe, as there are a great num- bar of women artists doing good work, as yet unrecognised. Mr. Jacob Epstein, also, a member of the Committee, told me when I talked to him that he is confident

NEW DANCE FROCKS.
ELABORATE DRESS PARADE.
Quite delightful and out of the ordinary was a collection of party frocks reteatly shown by one ot the most exclusive Parisian dross- makers. "On one side of a wide. vestibule the #pacious showrooms were decked out with imitation snow and ice as a background for costumes portes sports d'hiver." On the other side a flame of shadegl electric light, garlands of gay lowers, a constant pop of cham- pagne bottles, and a parade of exquisite dance frocks! Very Brodern. Essentially 1927.
.
Worthy of Admiration.
A little model which drew a series of admiring "Oha!" from the onlookers was made of pale rose mousseline de soie with fringes of shaded rose ostrich feathers on the hem and on a tunic which looked like a wide flounce. The corsage was very simple-in front, and the waistline almost normal, but at the back there was a little loose capo, swung frem, under puce roga, resting on the left shoulder.
Dresses Still Short.

All the new dance frocks notably short. Most of them seem tight Here and there a flounced model gives something of a cring- line effect, but this is the except- ion. At the same time it must be recorded that one of the big magasins de nouveautes in Paris is altowing steel supports for the hips, and showing them openly." This particular shop has the credit of never making a mistake in the matter of coming fashions.

There was a simple cardigan of tobacco-coloured jersey.
