The term

" "creation little out of date when' speaking of the modern model dresses; it has a nuance of a Bash of inspiration which might have pictured one of the old style models, a billow of lace frills and ribbons, but which could never visualise the extraor

dinarily complicated jig saw puzzla which is the modern" creation. Every dreas of any importance to- day is tailored, thought out and carefully designed. There is not a millimetre of unnecessary stuff or of unconsidered ornament.

Ten Years And Sorrow, And so the big designers triumph.Have simple dresses it you like," they say, "but don't imagine you can make them your self or instruct any uninitiated per- son how to do so." You can copy modele successfully only if you are very clever indeed and prepared to quite womake them. Eneruats tions, tucks, insertions, bias pieces and semi-bias are used to make a little frock whose charm when com- pleted is its simplicity and appar. ent lack of sophistication. But try

to copy it and ter years of life will be added to your age and-- you will probably be left with an unwearable garment on your hands. Not every one can afford model gowns and indeed many of us man age to look chic and charming without them, but if you can afford sither a model or a copy made by a really clever dressmaker who knows her job, it will repay you in the pleasure you will have in knowing yourself to be looking your very beet.

A Local Gotini.

Madame Louise, who makes for Pamela, is one such ciever dress- maker and can, what is more, adapt in model to the partienlar require. ments of your figure. You will not find cheap frocks in Pamela's but you will find the best possible cut and reliable materials. After all an extra 10 or even 20 dollars on a dress is very little compared with the difference between a frock and creation" as everyone knows, maré especially when the creation has been particularly evolved for you.

Voile And Orgändis.

I think I have mentioned before the lovely silk sports frocks which are being made there after Patou models. Now I hear they are busy on a number of voile dresses, copies Jal models of an equally famous

There has been a sale at the Siay OF THE LANTERN all this week during which all goods are offered at 20 per cent. reduction. To-morrow will be the-inat-day and there are besides a large and varied stock of oriental goods some exceedingly bargain prices, nice hats and frocks to be had at

This afternoon frock is designed for georgette in one of the new small patterns. The coat is separate and taken of reveals a sleeveless frock. The soft drapery of the coat" front is very becoming to a full figure.

A NEW LINE,

Millinery, always important in the science of dress, has become even more so since the launching of the ensemble mode. No longer will a black hat "go with" anything, that idea is as out of date as Queen Anne. Every costume entails its special hat to the really smart woman, although skilful planning. of the ensemble may make it some what elastic, and allow one hat to be worn with a coat, over one or two or more frocks which belong to it, or with the dresses alone.. Bus the point to emphasise is that every thing must be part of the ensemble. The coat which could be worn ever. any dresa is as much a thing of the past as the accommodating black hat, unless it be of fur, and even this is a concession which needs skill if it is to be used with chic.

The Elastic Ensemble.

In theory this idea! sounds pro- hibitive except for those who are blessed with an undue share of worldly wealth, but in practice it is by no means so. Intelligence plays a bigger part than money in the planning of a really smart wardrobe, and the milliners are outl to help. The new hats nearly all stress the two material fashion which is so popular with dress- makora. Felt and straw is at once pretty and practical, and a clever combination of straws and coloura goes far to solve the problem.

A Haw Clocha,

A collection of hats which I saw unpacked on Wednesday in Madame Sarrault's show the latest French ideas. Perhaps the most striking thing about them after the materials is the new brim line. I am rather tempted to call it anyhow," and yet that is the last word to describe the clever grace of the new line. Perhaps it would be better to say that a new cloche has been evolved, with a wider brim, which, starting rather higher on the forehead, turns down all round and frames the face softly.

▲ Striking Model, Thore is a model in two tones of beige which seems the epitome of the new mode. The top part, to about half way down the crown is made of satin surface chip, straw, from there is silk felt, which like an anblocked hood, widens to a softly undulating brim. The join is covered by a swathe of satin ribbon tied in a su art bow in froot. This may' sound somewhat formless but it is extraordinarily chic, and be coming. Such a hat could be worn with a silk frock or a woollen one or coat provided, of course, that the tones were right.

Lagorn Straw Returns To Tavður.

There are a couple of hata which. combine legora straw with black felt and might almost come within Another male which ends to mor- the category of the "any dress" row is that of bata at LAKE, CRAW-bat, and if you are not particular house.
