The New Silhouette.

Dress designers have, during past seasons, played, with exaggerated earnestness, with simple forms, but the Spring of 1929 has marked a definite change.

The new silhouette is neither fall and round nor tight and narrow, but something much more subtle,-essentially decorative and essentially modern-

MILLINERY MATTERS.

WHAT THE PARIS HOUSES ARE SHEWING.

The most interesting thing in the dress world at the moment is the subject of millinery. Hata are being specially created for different dresses by all the leading. French designers, and many dresses, charm- ing enough in themselves, gain a special cachet by the addition`of'a- hat designed in keeping with their silhouette. With dresses of the pic- ture type, hate of crin straw, almost as fine as tulle, are im mensely becoming. In shape like a very wide cloche, they surround the face like a soft and charming nimbus, and, in conjunction with the softly spreading lines of the dress, are one of the most har- monious expressions of the summer mode.

OTCT &

A Striking Style. Marie Alphonsine works out & somewhat similar idea on the lines of the large Argentine bat worn head handkerchief. The handkerchief, which is of the plaid silk or velvet which Parisiennes wear so smartly, is, however, stitch- ed to the underside of the brim edge, and drawn down, away from the brim, to fit closely round the face on the right hand side. On the left the brim droops down grace- fully in a broad sweep, and is underlined in the usual way 'with the plaid.

CHEZ PAMELA.

There is a smart collection of A. millinery now cher Pamela. cocoa shade Baku cloche is tied with narrow grosgrain ribbons of tête de negre and grey, the underside of the brim being bound, with a wider band of the former,

A very smart toque is evolved from shiny black paillasson. The crown is folded along the top, and a narrow black ribbon runs up it directly in front to tie in a bow at the crest. A lemon yellow cloche of baku straw is turned fat up in front and down, over the ears. Paillasion straw in red and, white is trimmed with a fancy pink and beige ribbon.

FOR SMALL SÓNS.

There is nothing which looks nicer. for small boya than a jailor suit of white duck with the proper blue collar, and provided it is cut along the correct lines and not in a fancy style, every little boy is proud to wear one.. LANE, CARW Fonn's have a nice selection in the Children's Department, and also "Jack Tar" hats to wear with them.

BROOMS AND BRUSHES.

There is a wonderful collection of brooms and brushes now to be found in WHITEAWAY, LAIDLAW'S for every possible household purpose." Good hrushes lighten the house work enn mously, and will save you no end of quite unnecessary initation with the servants over half swept rooms. There are yard brooms and carpet brooms, sink brushes and barinister brushes, and every sort of brush you can think of.

NEW STYLES IN HONG KONG SHOPS.

Amusing Tilt. Maria Guy is introducing a hat in Louis XVI, style, which is, of courses a much modified version of theDolly Vardon" hat, tilted over the eyes, tad built up under the brim at the back with flowers, or--in the case of the Maria Guy models-with bands of ribbon..
