WOOLLENS FOR DAY-TIME

HOURS:

This is the time of the year when, taking stock of your wardrobe, you undoubtedly and yourself in need of a frock or two, or perhapa a cont that will brighten your spirits on & dull winter day. On this page wp haye sketched a few suggestions from the wardrobe of Mrs. Eddie Wu, née Agnes Fung, who is widely known as a talented musician and writer. With her infallible sense of chic, Mr Wu has selected for us serviceable things for 'busy mo ments as well as blaborate clothes for hours of pleasure,

Woollen Frocks Practica). With woollen frocks having a vague all their own this season, what with their versatile and varied weaves and colours, the practical frocks of grey and rose feather weight tweed in this collection is among the most popular of all, be cause of its light warmth and rich colourings This is developed in the straight silhouette, fashion's Favourite for daytime dresses.

Another woollen frook which is as softly styled as any silk frock could be, owes its feminine affect to the softness of its 'fabric. This new. aheer woollen material in tha popular black with a narrow green tures of special interest. First, the elever neckline and sleeves trimmed with a wide border of plain anate. ria! distinguish this dress as now. The plain fabric also forms pleated side panels which are inverted to preserve the straight silhouette.

As no winter wardrobe is com plete without a Chinese costumo which is either lined with fur or a fur-like fabric, the one included here is of silk printed in a leat design in a chic blue and grey com- bination. Soft grey squirrel is favoured for the lining not only for its beauty but also for additional warmth.

Padded silk frocks are still very smart, but this year they must be very light,silk cotton" padding being used in most cases to retain the classically simple lines with ita two straight scams at the sides. Invisible stitchings keep the pad- ding in place in the French blue brocaded satin dress worn for in- formal affaira

A perfect complement to any of these costumes is a black broadcloth coat which uses grey fur trimming in a striking way to form the interesting stand collar with tiny yoke, deep cuffs and the side facing. The coat achieves the fashionably Atted and flared lines through in- tricate cut and sennings.

Tafata for Dancing, With stiff fabrics such as taffetas and moirés in the plain colour und printed versions steadily gain ing in popularity and prestige as. the year begins, this taffeta frock of n deep, rich red possessee great chic. Especially attractive peplums cun- ningly set on the hips and curving dowa in a flattering V point in the front acentuate the broken line of the frock. Quite effective also is the fitted basque, and Chinese loops add interest to the becoming collar with front closing, while the short sleeves are pulled in an in- genious manner. The skirt itself is hemmed in a most delightful manner, being flared but not too full, and features the shorter length for dancing. Tiny artiñcial flowers give a charming note to the sleek coiffure and crepe de chine slippers are dred to match.

.

Mention must also be made of the bended frock which is coming to the fore in the mode for evening wear. Enormous rose-and-crystal bead flowers in heavy bas-relief on pale rose chiffon produce a rich, gleum- ing quality to this very losely dress. The normal waistline is marked with a narrow belt, while the ex tremoly high Chinese collar and elbow sleeves mark this as quite

formal,

Last But Not Least.

The evening wraps in this colles- tion include a black velvet one. The elbow cape and cuffs are lavish ly trimmed with white fox, and, with a smart contrast of line, the long slim skirt flares out in back in a circular flounce that just es capes the floor. The combination of the black velvet and white fur is not only strikingly smart in itself, but is also effective as an ensemble with evening frocks of almost any colour. This is, no doubt, the secret of why this type of wrap has been so enthusiastically endorsed by amart women for so many seasons.

The Dinner Dress. The black velvet dress, a valuable asset to any wardrobe, is ideal for that all-important, dinner, danon or other formal functions. A striking contrast is provided by the trim mings of red and gold sheer brocad. ed fabric, with unusual interest centred in the stepped arrangement of the fetching yoke and cuffs. The bodice is moulded, while a high waistline is merely indicated by means of an encircling seam. The skirt is cut circular, descending in in beautiful folds to the floor evenly all around. Long pendent earnings of an elaborate design wrought of gold and studded with pearls, and a brocaded handbag with a jewelled frame are appropriate accessories.!

The all-fur wrap, which has for its only important rival the popular velvet one, is selected in dark groy moleskin. The polta are handled with great skill, giving fitted, straight line, as slender as a cloth cant, and widening gradually towards the bottom. The shawl collar turned up at the back is definitely smart while the three- quarter length is quite desirable.--- EC. in the North-China Daily, News.

WHEN YOU CHOOSE SHOES.

Shoes-how different the picture that word conjures up to-day from that of not so long ago! Instead of severely plain black or brown shoes, all of the same pattern, a largo number of colours, styles, and materials is now available.

Indeed, British shoo manufactur ers are now producing, both in the highest quality goods and in the less expensivo kinds, such ha extras ordinary variety of shoes that ok times the task of choosing a new hair is a little bewildering.

*

Court shoes are always in fashion, and nover more so than today. The newest trimming for Courts a simple bow of icather, for metal mesh, celluloid, paste, and so on. Many are provided with clips for quick attachment, and they are more often placed at the side of the shoe than in the front Piping in white or a con- trasting colour is also largely used no a neat decoration on Court and other shoes, Bar shoes, although not so popular as they have been, are still in vogue.

*

One of the most fashionable types is the laco shoe which is even in several different forms, For mora. ing there is our old friend the Ox- ford, of calf or kid, nently cut with "tailored" lines, covering the front of the foot, either made welt- ed with a leather heel or possessing a slim Louis heel."

At the other extreme is the tow- eut tin shoe, which is a very near relative of the Court shoe, and has only one or two eyelets low on the front of the foot Between these is the design, cut lower than the Oxford, with two, three, or four eyelets, and saddle or sabot effects. There is also the instep-tic shou fastening on the instep-really variation of the bar shoe.
