It Is the work of the manufacturers only which is exhibited.

In the Coudurler collection
deal of velvet is shown. good Marmouset is the name given to
one
with an irregular surface streaked in lines both shiny and dull. An uncrushable velvet is called "Sans reproche." and an- trans- other, which is almost
"Sans parent has been named
shot de l'eau." There is peur velvet in soft colours and another kind is interwoven with metal threads. "Mycaline is the name given to a synthetic velvet which is similar to cellophane. Face of the patterns make some synthetic velvets interesting. There are those with diagonal stripes, others with leaf designs. or with circles. Cloky crêpes also come into this collection. On the reversible quilted metal tis- sues Interwoven with silk the de- signs are frequently Persian: ..
Dots, crossbars, stripes, straight and diagonal, are also much used
this collection. Taffetas 1s brocuded wita metal designs, more has metal thread patterns. Pebbly crêpes, such as Paradou, are used. Satins are both matt "faced and lustrous. The colours are. softly bright and deeply rich. Many
shades of white, solid blacks, in dull and shiny mate- rlals. interwoven with metal threads, are to be the fashion.
DULL MATERIALS
Dull and shiny materials are also shown in the Goetz collec tion. There is a shiny trêpe which is inade in shaded and in solid colours. There are pleated toffetas, brocaded metal tissue" veiled with chiffon, brocaded satins. striped satin in alternate lines.
On all sides the inger seems to point towards expensive, handsome materials for evening wear. For practical.everyday use. there are woollens and velveteens, some smooth, some rough, some Mohair plain. others figured. mixtures, flecked, closely curled. in two colours, one bright, orie dull, look right for wintry dresses. A treebark design has shiny stripes standing in relief from a smooth, lustreless background. Checks and stripes are usual Knobbly crêpes. closely woven jerseys, the crows-foot pattern in
smooth woollen cloth, and any number of soft woollens inter- woven with rabbit and ferret hairs are among the many new kinds of woollen materials used for early autumn and winter dresses and couta.

Finely beaded serge is a new material. Lace is prepared in rounds to be used to make dresses without seams. Fine cobwebby lace is the fashion, both matt and lacquered. Metal laces and chenille are used. Lace scarves are to be worn. Fine lace.pat- terns
encrusted оп net grounds Three colours which are shown in ace are brown, a purplish red, and a bright red. Empire green lace patterns ea- crusted on a black net ground is

a material which has a Victorian favour.
Velvet is as much used by the milliners as by the dressmakers. With its many faces and in diffe- "rent" colours it is a pleasant material with which to work. The new berets, as an instance, look better in velvet than in any other material. There is no limit to the shape a beret may be.
NEW SWAGGER COAT
In fur there is the new swagger' coat, from 38in. to 42m. long. Hudson seal is used for it and so are all the smooth, flat furs of which we know. Velvet tallor- hades trimmed with tur and with a bag to match have already appeared as In the ensemble made by
Grace Molyneux for Moore. Hers is in dark green trimmed with a wide, drap- ed. long collar. She earries a bag" to match, and her beret is trim- med with the same fur. The fashion of a separate coat ΟΙ jacket to a tailored skirt and blouse is likely to be continued by putting a short fur jacket with a skirt and blouse in the autumn. Fur capes will be worn also, Col- lars, scarves, bows, with jewelled clips and fastenings, go with dresses
and
coats and skirts Linings to fur coats are luxurious and bold in design.
The right jewelry. the right shape of the shoes, are important. At present leather jewelry is worn with tailormades, and that shown by Mme. Gustalla in the Exhibition of Decorative Art in the Petit Palais is a good example of this work. The shoes of recent make have low heels; sandals with low heels for evening have as great a vogue.
Height of Courtesy
"Yes, my dear, I said to her- You're nothing but a stupid. mean-faced. stuck-up swindler. madam.'"
"You called her 'madam?'" "Oh, well, politeness costs no- thing."
HANDKERCHIEF BAG
FASHION
Apart from the fact that beach haitigags of percate are stiffened at the centre y aume solid me- diam. they look like those impro- viard by tramps for fodder and carried at the out of a slick. They are simply. large double handkerchief squares of percut knotted in similar fashion at the four paints,
Pailing percale, bandana hanri- kerchiefs will do, and will also fill in a sun-buck decolletage, Larne baniana handkerchiefs simply krottel a the throat and point- ing down the back in triangular tashian will also serve n the hooded cinelet "that one dress dr- xigner ages in plain-coloured linen to lu arory like a sunbonnet from time to time.

NEAT EYEBROWS!
Eyebrows are getting more at- tention today. They ask for care- ful grooming and how quietly but persistently they say "thank you" for a little extra care. No two doubts about it. I've seen faces completely changed, nestened and immensely improved by wo- men who have suddenly become eye-brow conscious, A. daily brush- ing, a regular neatening of the brows. the careful censoring of
ny hairs which just spoll the
natural "curve of the brow--it makes such à difference! But, please, don't attempt to do any- thing drastic. If it is natural to you to have fairly thick eyebrows. don't wed yourself to the vogue of the pencilled brow! It has been too overdone, and to-day We should be back again obeying fas- hlon's urge to be as natural as
I possible. So repea neaten, frim and remain well-groomed, but, no extremes. please. The dis- creet use of an eyebrow pencil is often an improvement, but note, it must not be obvious.
Readers "frequently ask about. eye shadow. Used subtly and dis- creetly, almost imperceptibly, the right eye shadow will make your eyes more blue, more brown, more green as the case may be. Apply it ever so lightly, most of it on the.. lower part of the lid. shading away to nothing towards the brows.

AUTUMN WHISPERS
The authoritative autumn dress collections will not be shown in Paris until next month, but early models which have been seen by the privileged show a definitely shorter skirt. Few women will be sorry to know that. There is greater fullness, too, in both the dress which belongs to a two- plece casemble and that' which will stand by itself in the ward- robe.
While the ordinary daytime frock is to be sncr.er, gowns för smart afternoon wear not only touch the ground bat have a short train at the back. Made in softly draping materials, these are real- ly charming garments, giving grace and dignity to almost any figure.

LIPTON'S TEA
TEA HINTS
There is nothing easier than to make tea well-except to make it badly. So here are some hints on how to make the best of it.
BUYING TEA Tea is the cheapest and most economical drink in the world,
From one pound
of good tea you can brew as many as 200 cups. And it pays in the long run to buy good. tea because it is more economical to use, and the difference between the cost of one cup of But there is poor tea and one cup of good tea is so infinitesimally small as not to matter.
all the difference in the flavour and it is the flavour that is really the luxury that everyone can now afford.
STORE TEA IN AN ÄIR-TIGHT CONTAINER. Tea loses its flavour if it is exposed to the air for long, especially in a moist climate. It ought to be kept in a caddy, or in a glass jar with a screw top, or in a clean tin.
:
USE THE RIGHT KIND OF TEA POT. Nothing compares with an ordinary brown earthen- ware tea-pot for making good tea. This should be carefully cleaned, not just rinsed, to remove all stains and dried after use. When cleaning don't forget the spout; a small brush will come in handy for this;

MEASURE THE QUANTITY OF TEA CAREFULLY. One teaspoonful per person and one for the pot" is a sound old-fashioned rule that has never been beaten. But if good tea is used there is no need to allow one for the pot," unless very strong tea is wanted, for good tea is more economical than cheap tea.
USE ONLY FRESHLY BOILED WATER. Take care to warm the ppt thoroughly before putting in the tea.
Then
pour on freshly boiled water-not water that has been allowed to simmer. Better tea will be made if the kettle is kept free from the lime or chalk deposits hard water.
ALLOW FOUR MINUTES FOR INFUSION. Pour freshly boiled water on to the leaves until the tea pot is full, but don't pour out the tea into cups until you have allowed it to.. stand for at least four minutes. The lid, of course, should be put back as soon as the water s poured into the pot, and then the whole should be covered with a cosy. Don't forget that tea "should never be allowed to stew If it is allowed to stand too long tea loses all its virtue and
