Finnish Tea-
Parties
THE women of Finland are very fond of entertaining, and, as they make perfect hostesses, ten-parties are a popular form of entertainment in Finland during the winter. The Finns are by no means rich 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 flats warm and com- fortable at very little enst. Coloured Hights make the Finnish homes look charming at night.
The ten-party is a jolly affair. It o'clock usually begins about seven
and lass til ten or eleven. The hostess never overcrowds her room with guests, and she knows the art of creating an atmosphere of friend- liness.
Tea is served in glasses with le- mon. A Finnish teapot is a weird- looking affair. There are two storeys.
The upper storty is filled
with boiling water.
A side table is laden with all kinds
of delicious sandwiches, cakes, bis-
cuits, fruits, and sweets.

T is rather thrilling on dull winter days to take a peep behind the scenes and catch
glimpse of what wo 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 akirts shortening up, and my pet fabric manufacturer tells me that suits are taking a yard less material.
So we can bank on neat pencil alim skirts. Some of those I have seen are nearly hobbles! "To hobble or not to hobble" is a thought that is exercising the minds of many designers Just now.
Let's take the afternoon frock frst. 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 bodke.
The seeming severity of after- noon styles is offset by the use of softer materials such as laco and my fabrics, as well as heavy jewellery of rather barbarle design. Brooches for instance run to repetition: one at the neckline has its twin at the waist,

Coats have two silhouettes, both on the short side. The full skirt and fitting bodice or the wrap- over style of ten years ago, when we all walked about clutching our hips and hugging our top coats closely about us.
The majority are collarless (or fat 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 ceat and skirt ilustrated. There will be more sults than ever this spring, but with a difference. The strictly classte mit will be the excap- tion, not the rule. Styles will be waisted, softly tallored, more jaunty
und youthful.
Jackets will follow the curves of the ngure, with soft but not, crisp revers, and a fluted look to the coat below the waistline.
With these little coats are word skirts that tend to drain-pipe lines.
