Lana Crawford. Accessories are very dangerous; if there is the least thing wrong with them they can kill the most perfect frock in the Perfect most thorough manner. accessories for the formn1 day and evening wear are seen at Lane Crawford. Bags are plain, but smart in line and made of excellent leathers, and gloves are plain and more varied in colour. Bags and bells are made to match; many are seen in patchwork leather, in de- lightful designs and colours. There are fine silk, cashmere or knitted scarves which you must wear with. your sports or afternoon suits, and jewellery in a profusion of designs ior evening Wear.

Whiteaway's have been quite busy these last few days in their toy- avenue with their varied selection of toys and games for kiddies of all ages. I'm sure there are quite a number who have found out that they have forgotten some little one in the Xmas shopping rush, and will be quite pleased to know that Whiteaways will be open today.. in the furnishing department I some down quilts, in lovely brocades, edged with salin; these will be quite welcome in the homo in these chilly nights.

THE MAGPIE TRIUMPHANT.

Far from being on the wane through sheer over-popularity; black and white are ever seeking new out- lets in which to manifest them- Relves. Black and whito clothes aro a commonplace, now; and to see long black coats with a hugh capo and Lie of white fur is no longer novolty. Nor is the dress of which the upper half is white and the flower black. But accessories can still give the necessary surprise, and frequently do so. There is make-up, for instance Very white complexions are ornamented with a. black patch. A white rose is worn in black hair, just under the ear. White evening frocks have black roses on the shoulder. A black evening frock may have a atrap of white roses over the shoulder. Large black fans go with dazzling white satin. Gloves offer still more surprises. There are black gloves with huge anuntlets. These are lined with dead white, and the white is turned down on tho black. The white would get dirty very soon, and the point of the gloves is that they should produce the smart crisp black and white effect. So they are made washable. With these ro black and white stockings. Black stockings are being worn, made with feet white underneath. The whiteness is car ried on from the sole up the back of the leg to about six inches height. It enda in a point. With the very much cut-out shoes the sole often shows, but the white on the heel is, of courar, very conspicuous and rather attractive. In time, no doubt, we shall get back to the ringed stockings of Leech's day."
