ANOTHER CHRISTMAS

SALE.

I like the iden of a frock shop having a Christmas sale, it gives one an opportunity of getting an some unusually nice present for a woman friend, and an excuse to make oneselt a Christmas present too. Felix started this idea and now. this week The Attic have followed

suit.

Pamela has imported some de- lightful novelties for Christmas. Among the many pretty things which I Was shown were examples of modern enamel work which I thought most attractive. There is, for example, a drossing table set, candle sticks, powder

Enamel has been used again with good effect on leather to form the corers of decorative bridge scorers and engagement books, and once more on the wooden handles of delicious boudoir, hearth brushes. Dainty feather whisks have their handles found with ribbon and gold' lace and the plumes dyed to match.

There is a wide choice, too, of dress jewellery some of it quite inexpensive, and of buckles and hat ornaments. For small gift pretty and novel cigarette holder might be chosen, or one of the at tractive pocket combs or vanity eases, of which there is a good selection. And Monsieur, when yout are choosing a Christmas present for her, dua't forget that every woman likes a pair of lovely French silk stockings, a smart handbag, or an exquisite evening Bower.
