I hope you will not think I am giving you too many lace frocks, but actually, there is a big differ ance between the one I had sketch- ed for you last week and this one, for whereas the former was suitable for almost any, occasion and simple us to style, this one is most distinelly 2 gala toilette, Blow lace is the name of the material used for this delightful frock, and there is a metal thread running through the design, while gold embroidery bands come from front to side, as you will see.

Thord were three fishermen in the scene, alt equally distinguished, and they sat on augar boxes in lieu of boats or banks, or whatever it is that devotees of the piscatorial art sit upon.

Last week the Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of York visited a West End cinema to witness a performance in con- nexion with some good cause or other, and I notice that a contem- porary writer congratulated the authorities on their good judg- ment in not showing ■ certain film which, however, he admitted was a particularly good one, albeit a trifle frank and free-to the Royal party. Our Royal Family, however, are becoming so acclima- lised to the silver screen that I doubt, allowing for the fact that it really was an artistic Alm, whether there would have been any objection on the part of the visitors. It will be remembered The that only a few weeks ago the num lace very effectively.

To those who are clamouring for the new length I can only give this advice.
Grow the hair from the top of the head and 'keep it short under- neath until a fair length is ac quired, or it will soon look untidy.
As the top piece grows curl it well under, and it will then gradual-i ly grow to the required shape.

The square is then ready for wear, and it is in the skliful drap- ing that a wrap effect is obtained. First of all, it is held-up at the back of the neck, and allowed to hang the required length: then, the surplus part at the top is made into a graceful collar by a goft fold.
It is gathered together in front, and held in place with the arms close to the body. Silk lace is pre- ferred, in shades of tan, beige, sil- ver and gold. Black is, of course, very good, for it is always very rich-looking at night, and affords a pleasing contrast with most of the evening shades.
