Merchants and trade agreements first introduced oriental influence to France under the reign of Louis XV. Almost overnight, a craze existed for Chinese-inspired murals, delicate white porcelains, lacquer tables, carpets, and oriental fabrics for furnishings and clothes.

Now, two centuries later, the eastern trend eclipses every other style in the French fashion collections. The edict to "go East" appears in direct silhouette adaptations, in richly brocaded and patterned fabrics, exotic jewelled colourings, and likewise influences millinery and accessories.

As fashions are influenced stone suspended between the by current events, the eyes.

Glass Houses

BUT NO PEEPING

Kosta, Southern Sweden, Oct. 5. Glass houses are one of Sweden's latest experiments with new building materials to help solve her acute housing shortage.

They are being built for master glass- blowers at the glass factory at the little village of Kosta, in the Southern province of Smaland, where some of Sweden's famous and most artistic glassware is | made in the middle of a forest so unspoiled by civilisation that one would expect to find log cabins rather than ultra-modern experimental ideal homes.

All the walls of these new houses will be in glass three sheets thick with insulating spaces between each layer.
