The eagerly awaited "Connor " hats and the dresses which arrived at the Sign of the Lantern" at the end of last week, had most of them found new owners when I went in on Wednesday, but there still remain enough to show me what a pleasing consignment it had been, Of the frocks which I saw, a couple

The dress of pale pink serge in trimmed with grosgrain rib.. bon and the little pink cloche hat embroidered in silk.

A little difficult, perhaps, to wear but certainly distinguished in the other frock of black satin. The hat is helmet shaped and the dress has a short, graceful little cape and an equally graceful godet in the skirt. The light blousing at the waist helps the beauty of line of the frock, and the tiny pipings which suggest--" ed a rever give it additional interest.

of beautifully cut white tennis dresses, one of crépé de chine and the other of artificial silk, caught my attention at once. There were also one or two very nice linen frocks and some smart voiles meant for afternoon weer.

Among the hats I noticed two or three which had the novel and very smart beck turned brim in front which is so very becoming. One of these, a large bat of fine black horsehair, was bound and trimmed with fatent leather. Another white straw, of rather smaller dimensions, had two crossed back ciré quils in front, and a band of 'cire ribbon round the crown. I thought a soft lent green straw bound with gror grain was very attractive, and liked too a similar model in mole grey "which had a binding and ribbon of

A lovely hat which has a long chiffon scart twisted round it and. hanging down over one shoulder through a slot in the brim, which is flated just at this point, is of petunia pink crocheted straw. It. has a frilled trimming of matching gros grain, ribbon under the brim rather on the lines of the little white frills which used to be put insido babies bonnets.

Very effective is a softly drooping model of leaf green which has a large silk flower of pale pink on one kide of the krim.

SOME SCHEMES FOR YOUR ROOMS.

NEW CRETONNES AT WHITE- AWAY, LAIDLAW?S.

Colour is the most delightful and at the same time dangerous of gifts. Considers how dead 'the world must be to those who are colour blind and remember a wa-side lodging if | you wonder what I mean. For it is not enough to love colour, or even to appreciate the more beauti- i ful tones, if you do not know how to use them,

So many rooms seem to have just growed like Topsy," but the beautiful rooms are those in which colour has been considered of para- mount importance in the furnish- ing. Very often well chosen hang- ings or chair covers can co-relate the furnishings and turn a hap hazard scheme into an harmonious

obe.

How Cretonnes.

But the choosing of new cretonnes is not easy for so much must be taken into consideration,

Even if your room is not artis- tically perfect it probably has much in it which you love, and your Itask will be to bring all these units together rather than introducing

new one.

The new cretonnes which I was looking over in Whiteaway, Laid- law's this week seem extraordinarily well adapted for this purpose. The colourings are for the most part soft and cover a fairly wide range in nearly every piece, as for example, a misty blue ground with flowers of pink, orange and green, or a beige ground on which tones of mauve, blue, pink, yellow and green can be seen.

For Your Drawing Room.. Let me make a few auggestions. For your drawing room Girat. There is that well loved Peking carpet on the floor, with its pink and blue flowers on a male ground; the walls are washed pale yellow, and you have black-wood, and bind and white porcelais. It wants something which will draw it to- gether, for the rosy chints you have on the chairs is too English in its fresh pink and whiteness to do Exactly right would be the soft sen green back ground on the sweet pea" cretounes, with its naturally growing tangle of blue grey stems and leaves, and dull rose and pale yellow flowers. The colours of your carpets, your china and your walls are "echoed in a material which is not out of key with the oriental furnishing.

80.

For A Small Bed Room. Then there is the small bed room 'which has a rather bad out look;. with stained floor boards and almost white walls, it looks rather austere, and. cold with its dark furniture and white hung bed. But if you were to hang the windows with a delightful cretonne with masses of creamy apple blossom and purple and red wind flowers on a clear. green ground, it would bring light A and sunshine into the room, toilet set deep red to match the wind Blowers would be excellent or you might introduce the colour by means of a small rug.

The Dining Room With Dark

Oak...

BELATIO

►

For your dining room with dark oak - furniture and blue Axminster -carpet. I would choose a double width cretonne with a silk finish as hangings, The ground is del phinium blue on which is a pattern of large roses and delightful crest, ed birds in tonnes of terracotta and' old gold. The colouring and design: are not too bright to make any well: loved carpet or furniture look shabby by comparison, and both they and the design have a digaity, which is in keeping with your room. The samo material with an old gold ground would probably be just ne effective.

Perhaps your rooms are quito. different from those I have imagin ed, but even so if you consider the particular needs of cách and the contents with which you wish your new cretonne to harmonise, I do not think you can find any great dificulty in "deciding in the ideal thing among Whitenway's" DOW]} shipment. The colour and pattern range is particularly wide, and there are also a number of new plain furnishing materials poplins, casements, etc., which can be used. either alone or in conjunction with the cretonnes.

Elizabeth Arden declares: "Make-up is merely a deception"

*You would not want imitatios pearls if you could have the originals. Why then accept an artificial complexion when you may have a genuinely lovely one!'

Elizabeth Arden's scientifically pare Freparations make it possible for every woman to have a naturally fine clear skin, which be cosmetic can duplicate.

For Cleansing there is Venetian Cleansing Cream which melt into the porse and dislodges every tiny particle of foreign matter.

For Smoothing and Refining there is the delicacy of Venetian Veiva Cream or Orange Skin Food, for nourishing, if yas require more determined

treatment.

For Toning and Bracing there is Ardens Skin Tonic with its invigorating tendency, or Venetian Special Astringent, for neglected cases.
