Those which tive than the old papier mache vaes |ɓgured in her former costumes, were so But, the faces and clothes are even more pleasing They are aly, coy, mischievous, demure children to choose from one for every mood as it were. A gorgeous bead- bedecked Queen of Sheba poses majestic ally alongside a devilish looking little sailor boy with a mad Pack-like face. A prim, be ruffled maiden slowly but surely wins over the gruff, red-faced, gendarme that a sleek black "movie" vamp has set her cap at. Of as much interest to grown-ups as children, the new dolls have unlimited charm, the reason being, no doubt this very diversity of expression which doll makers now invest them with, instead of leaving them with the madden ingly insipid faces, the staring eyes and the everlasting smile, which they have worn for ages past up till now.

FANCY FLOWER VASES,

The woman with imagination will dis. cover so many things that are almost as charming as a Lalique vase or a Celliui bowl to hold Blowers if she will only set

The boxes that are given away as favours at dance clubs to begin with; the decora- tive "wooden and metal boxes; in, which are packed the sweets, that one is offered from time to time; colourful sauce boats from old sets of china; all these make attractive receptacles for every kind of blossom, from simple daisy to gorgeous orchid. Dull gilt paint will do wonders with ugly wooden boxes or boxes on which the paint has worn thin. Tempera paint applied evenly or in an "arty" fashion will make very amusing," bowls" out of old jars of one kind or another.

SEMI-POUCH BAGS.

The envelope type of bag is being superseded in popular favour, by a semi pouch model, that is large, fiat and square, and distinctly amart and useful. for every day wear, Lizard skin figures a great deal in these new models Nam bers of bois de rose toilettes seen at the recent race meetings, relied, as a matter of fact, on one of these bags for their only note of relief. With them, of course; there were lizard skin shoes to matchi simple little one-strap models, or else mixtures of lizard skin and a light kid. Bags made of white oilcloth are to be seen a lot, made up in simple designs, to be carried with summery frocks or purely sports models. Very effective these, especially if the initials of the owner are added in black, red, green or blue tones, to match the, frock or to contrast with the dead white' of this.

The frocks that she has been wearing during recent shampionship matches are made of a very strong white silk, so strong and opaque that no petticoat was needed underneath. The skirt reached caly to the knees, was cut straight and pleated in fine knife pleats; the bodice part was perfectly straight and plain and cut with large armholes which allowed a maximum of freedom for movement; into these there were no sleeves fitted. Round her head, Suzanne wore her customary handeas, but this year it had gained such proportions that it was more like a minia ture turhan.. She chose generally" two shades of yellow for this, a light and a deeper orange shade, and antched it with a light yellow sweater, which she kept on until the first few games had warmed her up somewhat, when she discarded it until White shoes and the end of the set. stockings, of course, went with this outst.
