Lano, Orawford-Tenuis enthu siasts will find all they need in the very smart tennis frocks which are scen among the new arrivals in the Ladies' Salon at Lane, Crawford's.. The freeka this season are made so us to give comfort to the player; they are made in one pices. with. knickers attached to a blouse and with A detachable skirt either plented or circular. Quite a num- ber of tonnia frocks are in pale pastel shades and in some cases a combination of white and a colour is used. One very anart ensemble is in blue linen; the blouse is double-breasted with white buttons and collar while the detachable skirt is pleated" on ahip yake. Elegant comfort seems to be the Keynote of the new sports dresses at Lane Crawford's.

Gordon's, Nover has there been. such variety of lootwear for women as at present. Twenty years ago shoes were just shoes, serviceable, plain affair of black leather or brown calf'; patent toecaps might occasionally be vouchsafed, but only for a dressy ocension. To-day there is hardly a akin one caa men-, tion that does not assist in adorn- ing your feet Shoes made from designs by a local expert are seen. at Gordon's; one model is in Davy blue suede with black and white kid in a cut-out design used for. the trimming, while another is a beige low-tie ehoo, with brown kid- in a scalloped design forming ap unusual trimming. Among the 825-; shoes just imported, brown leather trimmed with a real lizard bow is seen in a court shoe; brown kid in a cut-out design trims a. shop in white auède, and a low tie shoe in beige kid ia trimmed with python. Among the new arrivals ,Rt Gordon's are the "Yorel elastic laces which can be fitted on to any shoe and should be very useful for walking and sports shoes; they are to be had in white, black and brown.

The Dolly Vardon Hat Stop.- The great removal sale will con tinue till the end of the week when The Dolly Vardon. Hat Shop will move to more spacious premises. Hats arriving only a short time ngo are included in this great sale and I can assure you when you buy a Dolly Yardon Hat you are. getting full value for your money. This is

especially true in the "Cataline" and "Mayfair" modela which have a distinction all their own.

Ordera, are now being taken for tailor-made suits, which are due to arrive about the first week in November. These suits are of the same make as in former yenra. Each is superbly cut and man- tailored and will never lose its shape as so often happen with those made by mass production.

Gray's Yellow Lantern.-Bead necklaces of various shapes are very much in vogue just now; with

evening dresses many strands of smal beads are twisted together, sometimes arranged in very com plicated twists and plaits, some- times interspersed with larger' beads. At Gray's Yellow Lantern A very delightful consignment of Peking jewellery has just been un- packed. There are very attractive. sets consisting of necklace, carring and bronch in jade, and crystal. Jade is very effective combined with seed pearls and examples of this are seen set in gold. Clasps in jade and gold are something quite new and can be put to quite a number of usca. This charming shop in Alexandra Building is always worth a visit.
