Directly I entered the tiny living- room of the fint I noticed two un- usual features. One, the absence, of n dining table. Two, o frosted glass panel, decorated with hand painted designs and it from behind, let into one wall.
At dinner-time a coloured servant entered, pressed a wall button and eased the glass panel out of the wall. Two chromium legs came with it. ellcked into place, and supported the newly-appeared dining table.
Hinged on its lower side, fitting snugly into the wall, this novel toble was composed of a thin, hollow slab of strong glass, iluminated by strip lights. Scratch-, stain- and heat proof, of course, and throwing up wards a complexion-kind peach glow,
All kinds of glass, wood or metal tables can be let into the wall with only

SALESMAN SAM
SAY, DUZ2, WHILE WE'RE ON OUR HUNTIN' TRÍP WILLYA WANT MR. 0. HUMM TA KEEP A RECORD OF THE SALES?
Lady Veronica Hornby is one of the few young women who have had enough courage to wear white. She was also out dancing in n allnky white satin dress with le frills around the bem, which continued half-way up the back of the skirt. She also has 11 charmi- Ing little waist-length mink jacket with short sleeves
which she wears when she goes to the theatre.
To give you some idea of the season's evening ronts Angrave has sketched 1wo models just to show you how different they can be. One is a knee-length coat made entirely of tightly ruffled chiffon with all the edges cut so that they stand out like stiffly exolic feathers, It is cut tight fiting to the waist, then flared out to the hem. The sleeves are long, and the colour is durk bottle green,
worn with a sulphur-coloured dress.
The other coat is full length, and made of the stiftest slipper satin in vivid blue or pink. There is a high yoke at the back, and then the skirt, is put in with great folds. Ruffles edge the neck, yoke, sleeves and hem.
The evening dress sketched is in light tan-coloured flat crepe, and gives you an iden of the type of drapery which will be most fashionable this season. Enormous folds hanging from one shoulder are looped up again to the waist. The full skirt hanging in a panel from the centre back is draped up between the feet like Turkish trousers, The bodice is high in front, low at the back, and bloused over at the waist,
THERE is a Paris dress house called Alix, whose clothes are greatly admired by the Hollywood film stars. I think in a very short time we will be secing their models in London. Thin senson Alix's collection is highly eccentric, exotic and beautiful. The evening gowns are mostly in soft white or pale pastel materinis draped in many yards from the shoulder to waist or else looped up between the feet in the Turkish
style. One dress has a drapery that looks like a transparent cloak. This can be taken from the shoulders and worn round the wulst, forming a kind of second skirt.
A crinoline gown is made of many layers of organza heavily folded at the edge over stiffening. One layer of black is placed over two layers of white, and the hem is decorated by strips of coloured taffeta arranged like a rainbow. Heavy silk mosquito netting and bead netting are used for evening coats and cloaks. One black net cape is worn over a vest of sequină. A long-waisted evening coat is skirted with bead netting falling to the ground.
The day clothes are less exotic and pleasantly practical, olive green and a dark shade of mauve being the most popular colours. Some of the suits have short-waisted Jackets flaring out for ten inches below the waist. This exaggerated flare is sometimes used for a tiny cape or collar. The siceves are nccentuated above the elbow. Many of the frocks have front draperies, One has heavy folds swinging loose from the neck to the bein, the dress underneath being tightly belied,
