Evening Gloves
For the evening, elaborate glove fashions have sprung up.

She decorates them with knots of flowers in bright' colours, which are sewn on to the back of the hand. Others have big celluloid butterflies in brilliant hues, or masses of Hittle glass fruits

A number of designers favour elbow-length gloves of printed chiffon or fabric gloves of plain colour, as well as lame gloves of the bulky type that make your hands look like mailed first. You can wear printed chicon gloves to... match summer evening dresses, or be as conventional as you wish with plain white ones of the finest kid.

A really effective pair of gloves are well worth their price, and if your handbag can match so much the better. The newest bags are capacious affairs; some of might well hold your requirements for a week-end away from home. Carry a pochette with sports clo- thes, but for the afternoon choose a bag with handles which can be slipped over the wrist. This is a practical fashion- for occasions when stand-up refreshments are #O- the order of the day, and a man is only too grateful to have both her hands free..

Another interesting overcoat, with not so full a skirt, is in water-green duvetyne, the semi- fitted closed top embroidered over» In brilliant silver-foll Chinese characters.
