Fur Trimmings
are
Lavish
T
HE cynic who said "The less you see of any woman the better she looks" would have been com-
pletely satisfied if he could have
seen some of the fashions that I've been looking at in the London collections re- cently.
Many of the new coats for smurt ocen- sions are so smothered in fur-silver foxes for preference that if you can see of their wearers are their eyes, and even these are so large and mountainous that it would almost be correct to say "collars this season have coats."
Silver fox akis are also sometimes used in rows from the waist of the coat to the hem, and of- ten make luxurious cafts, too.
FORTUNATELY, by reason of their
price, these coats will be only for the few, and the rest of us may feel content that we will, in spite of the above- quoted cynic, look better in the less exagger- ated modes. But if we want to be in the fashion whirl this winter we must have fur trimmings of some sort in lavish degree.

The first sketch shows a Paquin model, the dress of fuchsia mauve woollen and the coat, also woollen, In fuchs-pak tone. The black of the huge silver collar in repented in the high felt hat, which is trimmed with flowers in the mauve and pink-purple slides the suit.
Black is first favourite in all the collections, and after that come the rich dahlia and fuelinio shades, vivid blues and soft, drep rods.
A
NOTHER very lovely ensemble at Paquin's is a ruby cloth cont, wide-shouldered, and collared with silver fox which is continued down the front of the coat to the hem. A- black lining links it up to the all-black dress worn with it.
This is Paquin's first show in their reconstructed and enlarged salons. which are exquisitely decorated in palest grey for walls and carpet and black furniture. It's most versatile collection.
Hartnell's winter coats are very distinctive, and he has some novel ways of laying on his foxes. Look at the cost in the sketch, which is one of his best. It's black velvet, and the bid of silver fox is detachable, The muff may be adapted for wear as a stole. The small sketch at the left shows the velvet frock that goes avitli this coal. It has damonte em- broidery round the neck and buttons to match,

KEEP THEM COOL by using fool cream ice, which you can get for $1. The night before you are going to a dance use the preparation all over your feet. Cover them up for the night in white woollen socks. Next night, before you go to. the dance, put a little cream ice between cach of your toes. That will keep them cool and prevent them getting

inflamed and painful. Coolness essential for your foot comfort when you are dancing.
MASSAGE them with olive oil. Ten minutes each foot. Before the
massage wrap them up in hot towels dipped in boiling water and then rung out. After massaging re- move the surplus oil and give them a brisk rubbing with a dry towel. Finish by dusting with talcum pow- der. Try to find time for this freal- ment before starting out to dance, as it does moke

LOTION is another great help to- wards being foot happy all the even- ing. The best one is a three per cent. solution of salicylic acid in methylated spirit. Any chemist will make up for you for about $1. Pour some of the latton into a saucer and dab it on your feet with a piece of cotton wool. It is mistake to rub it in.
