Whiteaway's.. Whatever the skirt length, footwear is just as import- ant a part of the picture as before; in fact the new hemline draws at tention to shoes at once. White aways are showing this week just what is worn this season. Shoes, I notice, are all of the simplest styles, so while our gowns are often more elaborate, our feet still follow the classic path of simplicity. Také for instance the court shoe, the one strap and lace-up seen at this shop; not only would it be difficult to im- prove on the beauty of these but it would also be hard to substitute for their practicability. For evening wear there are lovely plain silver court shoes and some with one strap. In another department I saw a lovely lot of white felt hats in he coming styles suitable for morn- ing and sports war, especially the latter. They give that touch of clue which is so necessary on all occasions nowadays.

The Dolly Vardon Hat Shop. Large and medium brims are still in evidence, but the fiat favourite of the moment is again the hat with the slight brim or brimless. On the one hand there is a tendency towards turbans and toques, on the other towards berete, and bonnet toques with fantail at the back and a broad turned up brim in front and to the more rigid, but qually becoming poke shape that is short and close-fitting at the back and then juts out from the sides

These aids to beauty are well con cealed in fact, normally invisible- and the position of the mirror is ideal for a surreptitious peep!

Fittings which make your posses- sione easy to find are provided. The bag which incorporates two small ractal contpartments at the bottom is an established favourite. Home patterns are provided with spring clips on the outside, covered, of courso, with a small flap, in which change to the extent of eighteen colna may be held.

Pigskin coloured in a variety of shedes makes its début. The dur ability of this leather and Its low cost make it a popular investment.

An ever-present fear to the wearer of silk or rayon stockings is that Tat" getting a ladder "in one of them. If the stockings are cheap ones, they are usually discarded or at beat darned for house use. If, however, they are expensive stock- ings, they are usually taken to be invisibly mended, fairly costly process if the ladder is a long one, but justified by the original high price of the stockings. To be sure, invisible mending is really invisible, for on their return there is no trace whatever of the ladder in the stock inga, Somo <invisible-menders acé fairly cheap, only a few coppers being charged for repairing a short ladder, but there is a slight draw- back sometimes in the length of lime taken.
