Skirts With Fringed Hems

One of the most interesting problems in the dress world at the moment is the length of skirts. This does not apply to frocks for the evenings, but to the smart afternoon dress which seems to be creeping nearer and nearer the ankles, and to the walking skirt which is diminishing slightly in length. The longer daytime dress does not present a problem" if it is to be kept strictly for wear in the house, but when it must do duty out of doors as well it often happens that there is more length than most women care to see. So this point should be watched in buying a frock just now, espe- cially as, with the new long line, the shortening of a skirt is not advisable-it frequently spoils the whole of the dress.

The home dressmaker may care to make a note of the fact that the new frocks and skirts have nothing in the nature of a hem. The edge may be rolled and lightly whipped, or may be, turned in and held in place by a dy-running stitch, but the day of the two or three, inch hem has definitely gone. When the material is suitable, the hem is fringed out, and it is quite usual to see a wool crepe frock finished at the bottom with an" inch wide fringe, this taking the place of last. season's amusing little "plisse" frill at the hem.

Blouse Fashions

Meanwhile, more and more wo- are adopting the smart blouse and long flowing skirt fas- hion, both for day and evening wear. It is a mode that is econo- mical as well as attractive. One skirt, especially if it is black, dark brown, or navy blue, can be worn with half a dozen different blouses These can be varied from embroi- dered organdle, satin rimmed with hand stitchery, suede crepe, and heavy crepe de chine with a dull surface, to the pretty peasant blouses with their smocked yokes and cuffs and their gally colour-- ed embroideries, jumpers of silver or gold lame, brocaded satin, crinkled crepe, or inetal tissue.

Mushroom colours, especially the beige-pink tone that belongs to this range, are good for satin and crepe models. They are worn a great deal, and, besides being most becoming; they tone in well with the browns and dark greens which are popular for skirts. "An ensemble which was worn recent- ly at a smart, party comprised a long, streamline skirt of dark bot- tle green satin, the dull side of which was used for diagonally cut panels back and front, and a blouse of mushroom pink erepe de chine. The blouse had the be- coming long Hne, and the folds which were draped over each shoulder-being crossed in front- were bordered with two-inch wide bands of the bottle green satin.. The effect was much more attrac

A spider's web of sequins, more gilstening than morning dew drops, forms an enormous, bib to wear on a long-sleeved even- Ing frock. A îne wire should be run through the edges of this to keep it in shape, and back- ram would make the collar stand up. Then use outsize' buttons to hold the bib in place, Bome- thing, really thrilling for some special or more formal occasion

tive than it may sound, and it should be noted that the intro- duction of a very little dark col- ouring on a light surface is ex- ceptionally amart.

The Dark Shades

Brown and

green have been much in the limelight lately, the former having become almost a uniform. Now the dressmakes are trying to ring the changes with other shades and there is a range of prune tones which pro- mises to become very popular. One version of prune colour is so dark that it is almost impossible to distinguish it from black, but the lighter shades are more or less dull purple in tint, and are a welcome change from the coloura we have been wearing so consist- ently since the beginning of the

season.

Raisin, a tone between dark brown and purple, and some times so bright as to suggest a wine shade, is very attractive in both satin and crinkled crepe, and, there is a definite purple grape tint which, embroidered with threads of gold or silver, makes "up attractively into simple house

dresses.

Mullinery Modes

There is a change, too. in hats. and shapes with wider brims are beginning to be noticed by smart women. A flat sailor of very sup- ple, fine felt should suit a great many people who have been com- plaining of the ageing effect of some of the very small hats worn at an angle. This new sallor may be pulled into any shape that its wearer likes, provided the brim ja allowed to turn up smartly at the back and very slightly at the sides. Sometimes the front is left completely flat, when it rather resembles an 'old-fashioned sho- vel; at other times it is tweaked into a point, at the angle which best suits the features of the wearer.

ROUND THE SHOPS

There are some women who can- not wear girdles during the hot. weather so the New Kestos Bras- slere Vests might appeal to them instead. These Bassiere Vests are light and have suspenders for stock- ings, also there is the Zoms which is even cooler, as these are very open and will replace the girdle: it has the suspenders as well.

Lane Crawford's Ladies Depart- ment have a wide range of girdles by popular makers, these include the Kestos, Gossards and Bontons. The New Two-Way-Stretch Girdle and Pantle known as the Coun- try Club Shorts are just the gar-." ment for the sports girl. Another girdle for evening wear has the brassiere attached. Prices are from $10.75.

WOMEN'S WORK

FOR HUNTING

In these days when everything connected with hunting tends to become more expensive ·each year 33 bur» incomes become smaller, when Masters of Hounds. and Hunt Secretaries are finding It increasingly dimcult to carry on in face of endiess worries and troubles, both financial and other- wise, it behoves all of us to put our shoulders to the wheel and help in every way possible If our beloved sport is to continue to flourish in these islands, as it has tourished for the past hun- dred and fifty years.

Women-whose numbers In many hunting countries nowa- days exceed those of the men- can do a very great deal to help matters, not only in such obvious Waye as by walking papples," avolding all unnecessary damage, and paying generously for what we inadvertently do, but also by keeping in close personal touch with the farmers and their wives whose guests we are whenever we go hunting.

"Personal Touch

It is this" "personal touch" which counts for so much in the hunting-feld. A few friendly words to the labourer who, opens agate may mean more to him than the sixpence we band"him" as we pars. The farmer, whose field has been scarred by hoof- marks will scowl, less blackly when he recognises us as a per- sonal acquaintance. Even the village children: trooping home from school will show delighted interest if we stop for a minute to tell them of our sport.

For this reason ore feels that hudting will flourish longest in those districts where strangers are fewest and where everyone combines to make bunting popu Iar both to those who follow and to those who don't

Dresses sold by them will be in the medium price range, and if the shop succeeds, a branch' may be opened possibly in London.

· MYTH

"The utterly sophisticated, cocktail drinking and cigarette- smoking girl is little more than a myth. Only very few, if any, exist"

This was the opinion expressed by Doctor Doris M.Odlum, of Bournemouth, joint honorary secretary' to the National Counèll” of Mental Hygiene, in an address at Bournemouth.

The majority of the girls of 1934, she said, "are just modest and just as anxious to do right on any subject as anyone has ever been.”-
