TOUCH OF WHITE

REVIVAL OF OLD-FASHIONED LIKING

The revival of the old-fashioned liking for a touch of white at the throat is a very becoming mode which seems likely to stay with us for some time. White 6ttings of all kinds are being mate, and even suits in black and white have lit- tle vests and waistenate of white pique or some other fabric which gives them a fresh clean look. The "Louch of white" falls into two categories. One is severe; the other is Huffy and very becoming to with rather thin

On the severe side, there white stocks, sometimes made of satin and worn with tailored coats and sults.

Some of the white pique waist- coats worn with black or navy suits have wide turned-down collars at- tached, while others follow the lines of the stand-up collar and are then finished with a jabot. The jabot, by the way, is

Couts of light-weight materials, which do not demonstrate the yoke vogue, are shaped at the neck by means of adroitly graduated tucks.

Bustles are Back

Quite a number of gowns in the stiffer materials show a pronounced bustle effect over a dipping skirt. One frock of peach tafferas had this bustle surmounted by an enor- mous taffetas bow!

FRESH FLOWERS

KEEP THEM IN THE ICE CHEST

AT NIGHT

At this time of the year lovers of Bowers are able to fill their houses with beautiful blooms of all kinds, and moreover to secure them at very little expense.

If, however, one does not possess a garden, or yet an unlimited amount of spare money to purchase fresh flowers, it is wise to do all possible to keep the dowers in a fresh condition for as long as you

can.

A tablet of aspirin dissolved in the water in a large vase of flowers will help to prolong their life, while half a tablet is suficient for a small bowl of flowers,

If you are the lucky pos8E380* of a proper refrigerator, place your flowers in it at night and they wil certainly remain fresh for a good space of time; if not, the humble cellar may be utilised to help the blooms retain their freshness,

SLIPS TO-DAY ·

QUITE AS TEMPERAMENTAL AS FASHION

But the slip, this time, is not be- tween the cup and the lip but between the neckline and the hem- line, and it is quite as tempera. mental an affair as fashion itself. And the reason for the many gar- ments is the fact that different frocks and different occasions call for diferent foundation garments, especially in a day when ne two frocks have the same neckline, and it is quite impossible to make the same slip do for two frocks.

One's entire clothing, these days, may be composed of an extremely brief girdle, a brassiere, a slip and a frock, or the frock may have shots as a part of it, eliminating even the slip. Or the slip may have "panties" as a part of it-you simply have to lock them over and
