Finnish Tea- Parties
THE women of Finland
are very
fond of entertaining, and, as they make perfect hostesses, tea-parties are a popular form of entertainment in Finland during the winter. The Finns are by no means zleb people. and the housekeeper has to manage on a small allowance, so she does not entertain in an extravagant fashion.
As electricity is cheap, the women can make their flnts warm and com- fortable at very little cost. Coloured Rights make the Finnish homes look charming at night.
The tea-party is a jolly affair. It n'clock usually begins about seven
eleven. The and lists till ten or hostess never overcrowds her room with guests, and she knows the art of creating an atmosphere of friend- Hiness.
Ten is served in glasses with le- mon. A Finnish teapot is a weird- looking affair. There
are

storeys. The upper storey is filed with boiling water.
A side table is laden with all kinds of delicious sandwiches, enkes, bis-
cuits, fruits, and sweets.

T is rather thrilling on dull winter days to take a peop behind the scenes and catch a glimpse of what we shall be wearing when spring returns.
A few of the secrets from the dress world are leaking out, and as you will see by the models drawn by my artist, fashion takes a short cut.
Everything points to skirts shortening up, and my pet fabric manufacturer tells me that sulis arc taking a yard less material.
So we can bank on neat penell alim skirts. Some of those I have seen are nearly hobbies! "To hobble or not to hobble " 15 a thought that is exercising the minds of many designers just now.

Let's take the afternoon frock first. This is after all the back- bone of the average woman's wardrobe. Fashion interest goes to the top of the dress. necklines are high and waists can find no definite line at the
moment.
The most popular style is the high Empire effect, as shown in the top left-hand sketch, with pleated chiffon attractively introduced in the bodies.
The seeming severity of after- noon stylea la offset by the use of softer materials such as lace and my fabrics, as well as heavy Jewellery of rather barbaric design. Brooches for instance run tu repetition; one at the neckline has its twin at the waist.

The majority are collarless (or Aat fur is used down the fronts), narrow at the neck and widening at the foot, or long haired furs swirl round the hem.
There is a hint of a lower waist-line In the model cent and skirt illustrated. There will be more nuits than ever this spring, but with a difference. The strictly classic cut will be the excep- tion, not the rule. Styles will be watated, softly tailored, more jaunty and youthful,
Jackets will follow the curves of the figure with soft but not crisp revers, and a flited look to the coat below the waistline.
With these little coats are worn skirts that lend to drain-pipe lines.
