Lane, Crawford. Just at the moment we are being confronted with a perfect avalanche of tweeds. Never, I should say, has there been Bo much variety in any one material, the popularity of which is amply demonstrated in the new. conts t Lane Crawford's. Since tweed coats are as much the order of the day as tweed dresece, it saves no end of worry in choosing the kind of material to get for a coat to go "with your frock. Among the new and attractive colourings are. shades known as pheasant,'

and "autumn," all of Branite which sbow soft, subdued shades in brown and. fawn mixed with a little blue and green. The craze for un- lined coats has lent à fresh interest to the many reversible tweeds seen this season. I noticed some with Inflecked outside surface and a checked fining. Besides browns and fawns there are a great many tweed woven coats in which a spotted effect is a distinct novelty,

THAT "WAIST" FALLACY.

One of the amusing fallacies of fashion is the modern idea of a waist. For though creators of the

Pioneers have just received a very large thipment of the most delightful underwear. new fashions seem determined to Made of crêpe de chine, radium silk try to bring in a smaller waist, and antin, they are richly hand present-day women have no waist; embroidered in many lovely and they said good-bye to it long ago. original designa The girl who lavas colours will adore the dainty printed pyjama suits in crêpe ile chine. Chiffon-velvet is so much in the lime-light just now, and many beautiful examples can be seen at Pioneers. There are also many delightful hand-bags in all the favoured fashions; these are made in the newest designs in leather and are trimmed with moire.

Yet reports from the autumn and winter Paris collections are insistent on this matter. Normal waist " and natural waist-line are two ever recurrent phrases in the pen- pictures of the new frocks whilo fashion artists, ever so slightly perhape, are following in their trend.

This is a blow to many a woman-- almost as great a trial as the lang skirts, which have, let it be said, conquered the evening mode, although the battle may be yet to camo on the core of day-time wenr. -for women have allowed their waists to depart into the limbo of forgotten things with thankfulness.
