FROCKS with the GOLDEN TOUCH

F you would know the secrets of style in outdoor clothes, then London is your hunting ground. But for that subtle something which gives charm and femininity to -afternoon frocks and house dresses then Parls should be your Mecca.

The great dressmakers there are still past-masters in the art of putting glamour and individuality into the simplest of frocks.
This acason, for example, she is using gold sparingly, but with a glittering effect. Embroideries, sequins, tiny crystal beads worked in the form of scrolls, edgings and butterflies give gaiety and life to an otherwise plain frock.
Paris realises that gold used alone on a dark colour can give a heavy "uniform" look, so she adds touches of bright threads in scar- let, groen or royal blue.
Sketched on this page are the four afternoon frocks I liked best at the big Paris houses. As you see, each one has the new short skirt, and is simple in outline, the only extravagance being the embrol- dery.
Boleros are young looking and the black crêpe frock has a circu- lar yoke of multicoloured em-. broidery, the tiny collar and sash being in orchid pink.
Motifs of gold beada in varying zes down the sleeves is another dca, while Worth outlines the shoulders and sleeves of a pastel
blue frock with dark blue em- brolderles. Both these styles give length to the arms.
You will find, too, that when pleats or fullness are shown in the skirt, only fine embroidery on a diminutivo scale is used, other- wise the effect would be overdone. Belf coloured frocks with trim- mings of this kind afford G
the pleasant change to
many printed materials being worn.
In my round of the shops I notice that this fashion is ex- pressed in sequin butterflies and differently shaped motifs quite in- expensively priced, as well motifs of brightly coloured sequins with gold beads forming the outer border. A flower shaped

Of course, it is not only on crêpe frocks you find these guy trim- mings, but neat little tailored wool dresses have their own embroi- deries carried out in brightly coloured wools.
Edgings of this kind take the form of tiny flowers, or are twisted into scrolls or vandyked designs to give variety.

BUTTON HINTS

meant to be decorative, it gives

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT FEVER
The reason why your stomach rejects solid foods when you have fever is because your wasted body tissues are crying out for moisture. This makes you desperately thirsty.
