Very light materials are for afternoon ensembles. Organza and net are tallored for warm days. Patou has a jacket and dress of double black net. The net for this dress is worked in dat tucks of different widths and the en- semble has a black silk foundation. Embroidered muslin, dyed to dark colours, is correct for afternoon costumes and for dresses. Navy- blue, cinnamon-brown, and black embroidered muslin will be worn this summer. It is usual to 'trim ních dresses with plain muslin borders of the same colours as those of the 'dresses.

Summer clothes are bright in colour for informal occasions, but for the afternoon black and navy- blue are the · most-fashionable` colours. Pale blue and pink are more usual trimmings for these dresses than is white. A black dinner dress may have a softly rolled neckline lined with pale blue satin, and two clips, one of blue and the second in pale pink, to hold it in parition, Plain whitė - is correct for sumtner” evenings. There are many coloured evening dresses, and figured materials are specially vivid in colour.

PARIS FASHION SNAPSHOTS

Shades of rich violet are beling worn in the evening by leaders of fashion, This colour is not sumcient alone the season's craze for contrast must be complied with 80

Ne see it combined with blue or pastel-tinted mayve.

For example, a pale chiffon gown was worn under a full-length violet grosgrain coat. A subtle touch was the wreath of sweet peas in the hair. More formal was a frock and bolero jacket in shaded. violet bugles. The bolero sleeves being but three-quarter length, deep purple gloves were added.

Black lace is favoured particularly with a heavy white material such as grosgrain or silpper satin. Full skirts are made with alter- nating bands of fabric and lace, and simple corsages are half con- cealed under little transparent bolero jackets. These face coatees are going to enjoy a tremendous" vogue.

Complete lace overskirts are seen, very voluminous and invariably open in front to reveal a contrasting petticoat. Sometimes the lace

carried up in a bib effect to the chin. One such model was finish ed with an emereld velvet "dog-collar.""

White remains popular, particularly white satin. So does goid, especially for full-length, edge-to-edge evening coats These are usually collarless, shaped at the waist and unlined. Similar costs in chiffon will be worn as the season advances. The short jacket is a back number, unless it be a bolero forming part of an ensemble,

The Paris Hats

revolve "round the The hat that does this most conspicuously I a sort of Juliet cap, and upon this theme there are endless vària- tions. Another principle discover- able among hats is that of taking some object and exaggerating it out of all knowledge. An example ' of this is the sailor cap, of which the band has to remain "moré or less intact, but the crown of which Is blown up until it stands out and away from the head. Finally, set- ting back or to the ide is also exaggerated, until another feature has to come to the rescue to keep the hat on at all

The Reboux hat is one of the many toques and is made of rings. of four different coloured ribbons. The calot, or Juliet cap. Is the basis of many treatments. Most Poften perhaps it has some front appendage, 4 bunch of flowers which looks perched on the fore- head, an extra piece of felt or straw, a vell with a marked edge. bunched up in front so that it looks blown there. The vell plays many parts here;. It may merely cover the eyes or it may even trail over the shoulders. Besides the well, the calot may have a con- spicous edge. The edge is always important, since from there the hair springs, and the calot has to look as though it were holding down the springy hair.

CLIPS

"A few years ago the only clips we know about were kept in our desk drawer to be used for holding papers together. Ever since fancy clips were placed on the market, however, we have been able to get smart little clasps in countless diffe- rent forms. For example, there are clips of paste, glass, silver, gold and many other materiais. Even ear-zintgs are now made as clips, both a practical and smart idea

Bathing Season Commences

Most people who bathe regularly get a brown skin which advertises the fact the they are living a heal thy open air ilfe. Nevertheless hot days seem to have a relaxing effect upon the face. The beats. opens the pores of the skin, and beads of unbecoming perspiration appear.

This is one of nature's methods of ridding the system of impuri ties, and tends to beautify the akin. But it leads to relaxed and enlarged pores, unless suitable means are taken to contract therm when the process is over, since the atmosphere is ridt cool enough now to do this.

The skin needs help, and should be toned up by an astringent lotion. Most skin tonics contain as tincture of astringents such benzoin. This combined with eau- de Cologne, and slightly diluted with rose-water is a remedy easily obtainable and most effective, but rather expensive owing to the price of tincture and scent.
