In other models sleeves are suggested by means of clever shoulder draperies.

When Mr. Neville Chamberlain sits down on Tuesday after his third Budget speech, he will still have had less experience of this task than Mr. Lloyd George (seven Budgets), Mr. Churchill (Ave), Sir Austen Chamberlain (dve), and Lord Snowden (four).

Some merely club on to the bodices-us- der the arras and fall away from the tops of the shoulders, giving the fashionable "slashed" effect. There is sound sense in the idea, for you are able to vary the ap pearance of the frock by simply putting in or taking out the sleeves. It is possible, too, to follow the prevalent "two-materials-in-one- dress" fashion by having sleeves, of lace in, say, a satin frock; of lame in a chiffon velvet one; or of chiffon in a heavy crepe romaine dress.. You get decorative contrast this way and, if you like, you can have two sets of aleeves for the one gown-a" pair in the same material and another pair in a contrasting fabric. "

economies were made, including a general reduction in Civil Service personnel and salaries; the whole of the internal debt was converted trom a 6 to a 5 per cent. basis; and the Treasury bill rate was re- duced to 34 per cent.
