Millinery From The Riviera

The Riviera follows Paris by falling under the spell of colour. Smart women are choosing it through flowera as trimming to natty straw sailor shapes.

These hats are seen worn with black or grey tailor-made sulis and trimmed with multi-coloured gar- lands. Round short crowns, with a single bloom or posy set at front or side, look charming and just right at the commencement of the season.

The pullbox falls into line with the Rower vogue and has its garland of

many-shaded blooms.

Straw Bretons are another" fav- ourite. One of these shapes from Erik suggests a" bright and novel idea which brings a touch of col- our such as blue on blue on black

to the form. A mere, handker-

Handkerchiefs on hats are the Intest idea for introducing bright colour.

Paisley Shawl Bedspreads

If you have an old Paisley shoul hidden aunty in the family cup hoard, take it out and be in the vanguard of 1937 fashion! Paisley shawls, with their soft warm colourings, are the very smartest thing in bedspreads, I'm told. Lady Louis Mountbatten "enhose pent-house in park Lane in the most faschionable of Londop homer, has had Paisley shrisle made into quilta for the bell of her two small daughters, Patricia and Pamela. And that sort of fashion spreads.

The bolero is worn with two- toned frocks, being of the same shade as the skirt, or it is in a gay shade finished with embroidery. We shall be thankful for the bolero. It is a fashion we can

For the background, choose good, firm slik, velvet or brocade, and a lining of strong, fine linen for the foundation.

A spindle (a little device of hard. wood about 9 inches long) is used for winding metal cords or threads to keep them straight and from contact with the hands. You will need this, also wax silk or cotton threads for extra-strength, and be sure to buy untarnishable metal cords, threads or galons.
