Sports Clothes Spell Comfort

The graceful bitte panne velvet evening wrap on the left is sup- ported by delicate beige fox fur on a cape collar. Fur, incidentally, will be stronger than ever this autumn. On the right is a youthful dinner gown of brocaded velvet showing the new below-the-knee skirt length and the long panel in the back reaching to the floor.

SPORTS FROCKS

SUNBURN EFFECT MUST BE BECOMING

མ

Whether or not to wear a sports frock that is practically backless is another question that is left to individual discretion. Evening gowns are, of course, for the most part cut very low at the back and the one fashion has inevitably led to the other. Why? Simply be- cause, if a sunburn effect is to be becoming (and they very often are), it must be even. The woman who

has been playing tennis regularly under a scorching aun, will be burat just so far as her neck has been exposed and the result is apt

to be patchy in evening dress.

Hence the backless tennis frock that allows of a sun bath on the court! And for this same reason, many of the newest bathing suits

are low cut too.

That Fashionable Sunburn For centuries women have been striving not to get sunburnt. In the old days they made up their own preparations, with the aid of various herbs and unguents, and in modern times the beauty parlour has come to their aid. Yet now, such a contrary world is it, that fey try their hardest to become as brown 起码 the proverbia berry, But it must be a nice, smooth brown, without a trace of red. She who burns a dull brick must count herself out of the running, once and for all!

How to achieve the fashionable shade of tan? Well, one way is to apply coconut oil, both to the body and face, before exposure to the sun; this not only helps the skin

to brown evenly but keeps it moist and supple

and prevents any blistering. It has been on sale on the beach for sometime, let me tell you, at all the fashionable bathing resorts.

from observations maile at these displays of fashion one or two facts merge and force themselves on the mind.

Atertain fluffiness of style may be affected by the older woman (or "the matron," as the fashion journals insist on labelling her).

The majority of the dresses for the younger girls are of the very simple type, and almost all rely on their neat collars and cuffs for de- coration. Of these there is an im- mense variety from which to choose; ncat cuffs and collars of organdi finished with a tiny ribbon bow tie or patterned crepe de Chine mide in plain style, while frilly collar and balloon sleeves of dantily frilled lace look delightful and would enhance the charm of evin the quieteat frock,

The Church Assembly has power to alter certain rules and regulations of the Church, but on major points it must be guided by the decision of the House of Commons, and these matters come first to the Ecclesias- tical Committee of the House of Commons for consideration.
