SHORT SKIRTS OF DAYTIME »

Trimmings are used sparingly, but are definite character, for there is nothing meaningless about the newest models, Velvet is a firm favourite, black and dark rich tones being still the leading choice.

THE SETTING

The modem rug should carry out the theme of cheer and Hight. Vases should be receptacles" for towers and should be devotd of design. The flowers are the Important thing, the vase but a simple, graceful setting for ther beauty

So many homes in this country fall into one of two classes. The first invariably beautiful and lu good taste, are the product of interior decorator and have as. much individuality as furniture stores with the price tags re moved The second, ike Topsy, "just" grown." The result of this “growing"" through the years is usually more charming: than the work of the professional decora- tor because it is an ectul: ex- pression of the owners' liker.

"Above everything, "¿trive to make your home cheerful- source or delight to yourse 1 and others" cone uded Mr. Pollase Your goal should be to have fr harmonious setting for grace ful happy living.

For day-time clothes the cut is very wonderful. There is much seaming and shirring, and stuf fashioned on the cross, or self- edged or fringed-edged. It is a little complicated, for though the new tunica are made to look sim- ple and artiess, being very slim ming, there is much cunning in- Folved in their arrangement.

The drapery technique which is the order for evening demands the expert hand, for there is, an illusion of simplicity, but it really a very elaborats silhouette, combining the class and the modern. The amateur's attempt at Grecian drapery is doomed to fallure.

40 YARDS IN A FROCK

There may be quite a quantity of fabric involved in one of the new models, but it is disposed of In masterly manner. The sil houette must be perfect.

Sometimes.. panels in contrast are introduced. A towing robe of purple taffeta had panels of pals pink brocade. This sounds very early 19th cen- tury and a little elderly, but it was a lovely model by a well- known house. The capd-cost of purple velvet was lined pink and collared with mink.

Quite a few hats that are very high, are bordered with fur and feather. They look well with the braided tunic and redingote, or anything of the uniform order. A feminine touch can be added by a little barrel-mug, with a floral spray.

There are a number of squared shoulder effecta-they have a martial air, and so have brais buttons and frogged, or corded, embroidery. Capes can be fung over the shoulder in toga style..

Black wool-lined green velvet, trimmed black-and-green cords, was responsible for a long cape worn over a dead black wool frock. A green velvet hat and gloves were accompaniments. These velvet gloves are really charming addition to the ensem bles of the winter.

A word about flowers. These remind one of the pictures of Queen Alexandra in the manner of their use. A cluster sometimes hrishes a berthe at the shoulder. and another cluster of the same blossoms will be repeated in the coiffure.

A lac satin dress had a long spray of dark purple flowers with a large flowing scarf of the same deep shade.
