The call of mothercraft is BO great that many business girls are giving up their careers to become children's nurses, according to Miss Mabel Liddiard, matron of the Mothercraft Training Society. Discussing the suggestion made by a speaker at a recent meeting of City girls that the best outlet for an unmarried girl whe fond of children was either to adopt a child or to choose an oc- cupation which involved the care of children, she said:

Graceful Poses,

The figures of opaque glass are usually of an entirely modern line, curves for the most part being eschewed and lines and angles sug- gesting poses which are, for all that, amazingly graceful.

The same can be said of some

of the metal figures, the speed of a runner, or the grace of a dancing figure being declared by length of line and the tilt of the body. Speed seems to be the chief thems of these ornaments, which are de signed to stand solitary on a shelf! above the electric' stove, on a side table, or on a bracket built in as part of the wall of a room.

Marianne Mayfayre writes in the London Daily Telegraph of January

9:

Every one has been eager to learn: the date of the most brilliant Lon- don wedding of the New Year--that of Lady Eileen Forbes, daughter of Lord Granard, and Lord Dumfries, the heir of Lord Bute.

I am able to announce that Lady Eileen has at last chosen her wed- ding day. It is February 8, and; hundreds of distinguished guests

BLUE FOR THE SPRING.

Paris, January 15. According to Paris blue is to be the colour for the Spring. All lace trimmings will also be of this shade. The effect of the coloured lace is to make filmy textures appear still finer, and to give an air of finish which is as charming as it is original.

Lace on blouses is also returning to favour. On many new models there are narrow edgings, placed
