GENERAL TREND: The simple, easy to wear line, following the natural structure of the body, is For day-time silhouettes closely rivalled by a pre-war influence, with tunic tops and pannier skirts. we have concentrated mainly on simple, easy lines as being the most practical for the average wo- man, and, in the end, the most beautiful.

1 Of all logical lines for your winter dress, the double triangle is one of the simplest and most wearable. Accent on shoulder line, narrow- ing at the waist to the apex of the first triangle: out again, widening to the hem, the base of the second triangle, Emphasise this line on your wool or crepe dresses with bandings of velvet; or try padded seams, or braid appliques.
2 Jumper top-this is perhaps the most popular of the new autumn lincs: The jumper top, often beltless, often allied to a box pleated skirt as here. In the sketch you see the braid appliques give it the effect of being striped ver- tically it is equally new, and for the slim even more flattering, to have the bands going round the other way; one at the collar bone, one under the bust, a third at the waist, a fourth marking the junction of "jumper and skirt."
3 Remember those bell-boy jackets? Well,

It is charming and youthful, but needs a slim figure. Have the top part in a contrast- ing colour or material from the skirt part- which must be moulded to give a princesse, line at the waist-or mark the line of demarcation by piping, if you are short and cannot afford to cut your figure.

Kipper toast can be made in tho same way. Have one kipper to three eggs. The tipper should be previously cooked by boiling for ave or six minutes. Then remove as much of the bone as possible and flake the fish. Add to the egg mix- ture, instead of shrimps. This is a delicious breakfast dish.
