SHOPPING

ROUND TOWN

Miss Naylor Importer. of Dresses Miss Naylor is in the midst of having her clearance sale, and there certainly are some wonder- ful bargains to be had. Her whole stock is absolutely reduced to the lowest possible prices and looking over the lovely things she has orie only wishes one could buy up the whole shop. Miss Naylor's after- noon dresses are going from $30 and some of them are sweet. Then there are her chic woollen sults that make such smart golf toques going at $45.

As for the variety of cardigans Miss Naylor told me that wash-" ing absolutely does not affect them that convenient! These vary in price but the average is about $7,50. Of course there is the usual assortment of the latest evening dresses and capes. One cape particularly attractive 'I' must mention. Made of the soft- est black panne velvet, it would wear for years and will match with any evening gown I spe- cially noticed it because it pre- sented such a striking picture trimmed with white fur and most exquisitely cut."

Chellaram'

With the Spring coming on we will soon get busy beginning to plan our new Spring dresses. Should you, decide on a new silk one, you may safely got to Chel- laram's as they offer you one of the

town, greatest varities in They have the loveliest prints in every design and colour at really very reasonable prices. A dress made out of one of those" mate- rials would look ever so chic for the next bridge party or the Races. Another advantage of those prints is that one does not seem to get as quickly tired of them as of other materials.

FASHION NOTES

Many of the new, evening gloves are of coloured suede fabric, which, as they reach near- ly to the top of the arm, is a relief when one considers the price... Some of them have lacing all up one side as decoration. Then there is another fabric Klove feels like kid,, and has a sunburst pattern on the back of " the hands.

Accessories have become so very important that many day frocks are made plain in consequence. Gloves backed with leopard skin cloth, with a belt and necktie, smarten up the severest woollen dress. Chenille scarves in bright' simple colours, in a plaid design or with large polka dots in con- trast, are also among the latest suggestions.

Men's the material; cleverly seamed together, "is used for the waistcoats of "little" suits. One In club colours I saw has shoulder flaps and a detachable bow neck- tie, so that a more feminine Jumper remains when the coat and tie are removed.

每

Magenta with royal purple, pink and blue in stripes, fuschia and black, cerise and deep blue: these are some of the colour mix- tures that will be worn for evning in the spring.

Coloured snakeskin is favoured for trimmings and belts just now. using such daring combinations as bright fondant pink accessories

on a blue woollen jersey frock.

It is used again on one of those indispensable all-day tailor-made dresses I saw, this time in black,. on the lower sleeve, and sporting a wide shaped belt. Hand-em- broldered tulle, stiffened brings a touch of Louis Quinze to the ensemble.

HANDY DUSTCLOTHS

A set of six or more rainbow- coloured dustcloths is not only a useful gift but also a very col- ourful one, coloured cheesecloth usually comes in a width which will make the finished squarts. measure about two feet across. As many different gay colours as possible may be used. Each one has a rolled hem done with a heavy cotton floss preferably black for the entire set, In the center of each cloth a glove-. shaped piece of flowered material in harmonizing colours Is appll- qued. A pattern for this is made „by outlining, on a piece of paper, one's own hand, thumb and fin gers, spread widely apart. This outline is enlarged to a size that will allow the average hand to be slipped in easily, glove-fashion," after it 18 stitched to the cloth. Bem the wrist; and then turn under the other edges, and with an over-and-over." stlich of the same black foss sew it onto the dustcloth. leaving the wrist; ot course oven: When the hand is. encased in this glove, the entire eloth can be gathtred ad into it for use. and the hand itself will be protected.

Maizec.

Straight from far away Los. Angeles come the dinklest sport suits I have ever seen. Perfect ensembles" of every colour im- aginable, they are" just the thing "to wear for the variety of sport we indulge in nowadays. There were several sets with a hat. gloves, jumper, skirt and a coat to match, all belonging to one suit. Another new thing just arrived at Maizee's-some cock- tall dresses, pefect beauties! This particular fashion has lately divided itself into two kinds; one decidedly severe and simple, more of a sport dress and yet with a cocktail individuality, and the cther a graceful womanly dress. One particularly striking example I saw of the first kind was of blue satin, cut and tailored like a sports blouse, bottom' of black: crepe flowing and graceful con- trasting with severers of the top formed a particularly striking dress. An example of the second kind was of black crepe with silver trimming, daintily cut" and beautifully Anished at the waist. with a large flower of silver and black.

Gordon's

Mr. Drake la having a large sale on now with "generous réductions on "all his stock. He will probably have to order? a new lot ini a hurry as I am sure his shoes at any rate will be mapped up in a hurry as Gordon's are one of the most popular and comfortable to.

Personally, I prefer those smart walking shoes of his to the most fancifully and intricately cut figh" heeled slippers. They are really a boon for country wear, and those hikes we are so fond of in winter become a delight with light Comfortable shoes at-your feet. Mr. Drake" has any variety of shoes and one can choose the daintiest éveriing ́wear there as. well as any other type of a shoe,

Smartness in bead-gear: A fashion by Kathleen Hepburn,

Lane Crawford's

Shoes are only one of the big things that make up a perfect tellet and so often the whole ap- pearance of a woman who is otherwise charmingly dressed is spoiled through the lack of care taken in clading 'her feet. Nestly clad feet are as much, if not more important than the dress itself. As for bargains Lane Crawford is offering some good ones this week. Pretty evening tinsel shoes can be bought for $3.75. Black satin slip- pers with gold or silver trimmings for $5.75, Parchment falle after- toon shoes at $8.75. Platted co- loured straw $9.75. Delta golf -studded shoes at $19.75, and pret- ty, varled coloured platted ones at $9.75. and many other bargains. You had better not miss this week for you might not get an- other chance.

Whiteaway's m

I saw the lovellest nen at Whiteaways this week, Damask table cloths and the well-known Marple sheets are offered to the pubile at exceptional value. Be- sider these there are many bar- gains in Exminster Carpets and Reversible rugs that prove such beautifers of homes and make the rooms take on that cosy look that becomes so dear to every housewife. They also have many, cther necessities that are so need- ful to each house, it the whole is to look its best, for often second best things bought in a hurry may mar the effect of the whole

room.
