NOTES AND COMMENTS ON FASHION CHANGES

Vogues For Stars, Stripes.

Spots And Splashes

It is interesting how the taste in design of fabrics changes. Sometimes everything has A spotted effect. That suddenly changea to splashes. A vogue for crosses, comes now and then also for crescent moons,

The present,

taste

is for stars. You see them everywhere in all sizes. A favourite satinis pat- terned like a summer sky, with large ones in metal thread. Some light wool fabrics have stars in- terwoven in a paler colour yarn. There are star brooches, clips and earrings, and a popular evening fancy amongst fashion- -able women is-to-wear-a-star of briants in the halt. They lonk best on dark hair. The star is even becoming a chosen hat orna-. ment, and may be regarded as an indication that there will be even more sparkle in the fashion of the future. Many of the new ma- terials have an interweaving of cellophane, which gives a most delightful sheen to the material.

One in particular was seen at a... recent dress show; it was dark green with cellophane. The suit was quite plain, with a short cape' that hung very straight, so that 1 did not hide the shape of the shoulders or the upper arms.

Colour Blending

Most women too, are wearing obviously artificial flowers in the -evening, usually two large ones in contrasting colourings. A pink and mauve together look good; so, too..do purple and white tolets.

There is a definite trend to wards mauves and pale purples for the evening but they are more pinky purple than "blue-purple." A difference only in tone, but one, which can make a dress either pleasing or disappointing to the wearer. The blue-purples are us- ually hard, and are inclined to cast a sallowy shadow.

At the present time the major- ity of us are more occupied keeping out the weathe tecting our pretty reśl vinters waterproo ∙tial to everyone who is

by-the-fre." For school-sfeery lined waterproof is the best out- of-door wear for an active boy or girl, also for shopping on a wet morning or going to the station. a good warm waterpoof is an essential yo!

Gauze Velvet

Gauzė velvet is in the front rank of materials for the evening gowns of this winter. It is so light and with such a sheen on the surface that, it might be a delicate satiri Rich beech, brown, the new Mar- ina green, lapis blue and deep rose red are among the best col- ours. And black we have always with us.

Large sprays of flowers are used on the darker evening dresses. On a gown of brown velvet you may see a flat bouquet of creamy. roses; on a red frock, three or four camellias or gardenias; and on a lapis blue dress, two huge shaggy chrysanthemums.

EVENING DRESS AND WHAT IS UNDERNEATH

This season's backless evening gowna, lovely as they are, present *a pretty problem of what to wear underneath. The usual type of and foundation, of brassiere course, are absolutely useless.

For the strapless gowns, the Gust must be supported from be- neath Instead of being pulled up by the shoulder-straps, so that an, all-in-one foundation is al- most imperative For the low- backed town, one deper Zon clever cut for support as In the low-backed models.

Among other bits of corset news a long-pant-leg evening girdle to prevent a low bul has invented by an American de- signer. And when the dec 1sextreme there's Bch parelly silver fame brassiere that shows. frankly.

Every woman gets tired of the cheap drab waterproof lacking in cut and style, she wants to be smart and well turned out even on a wet day, so why not get yourself a "MiIwata raincoat, and be perfectly satisfied.

MAIZEE'S

Those who are preparing their wardrobe for the Race Meeting. should pay Maizee's a cal, as she is expecting some beautiful dres- ses to-day, specially ordered for the Race season.. Besides these new goods they have received in the early part of the week-2 piece sults in silk-and in woollie material all these dresses are extremely smart, and in all the new shades of the year.

EVE

Eve told me she was se.ling off at $10.00 each winter coats for matrons, and had just a few left erly. I thought the coats were very nice, especially the fur trimmed ones, Just think, it would cost more to buy the material alone so realy what a bargain!

MATO'S

Received to-day another ship ment of spring, hats in the new high crowns and turbans Those that were on show were very smart looking and in all shades.

Finding Out

The two friends were discussing motoring as they sat in the club.

"I was once buying a second hand car from a garage owners, said one. "Of course, he praised it up, as I was a novice. But I found a way of discovering absolutely all ità faults!”

"How?" asked the other. "Well," went on the first, I had it out on trial, and took it to an- other motor dealer and asked him to buy it
