and short skirts, while the sleeves show fullness at the shoulders and taper to tight wrists. The should- er-line is broad and sloping rather than square. Paquin's dresses have elaborately worked sleeves. shirred, honeycombed, and ruffled to contrast with the smoothly fitted bodies. Afternoon dresses have yokes and sleeves in trans- parent fabrics, and a black silk

chiffon may have crepe sleeves, while black lace can be allied to heavy crepe marocain for a' dinner.

..

Guld clips and buckles set with Jewels and gold embroidery and belts are. in fashion. A gold kid. belt embroidered with butterflies is cut wide at the back and narrow in front. The dresses at Worth's are worked with gold threads. An Ostrich feather, dellcately outined in gold, sweeps across the bodice of a fine black woollen crepe frock, and three gold leaves worked in a heavier siltch trim another model Gold embroidery squares the shoulders of many dresses, and the on down design may be carried the sleeves.

Heavy fur trimmings look well upon coats, Jackets, and tunics. The fox collars at Paquin's are draped and gathered high on the shoulders. Frilled revers in blue shown. and silver fox are also

Pale pink and yellow broadcloth coats for the Riviera have collars of blue fox or black astrakhan. The former fur makes a draped collar to trim a pale blue tailor- made, as well as a border on the hem of a white tunic worn with a black coat which has a square collar of fur and a Hared hem- line. A beaver collar is put with a turquoise-blue and nigger-brown tweed "ensemble," and nutria faces round collars which fasten at the throat and tum up to cup the face. A number coats are just 41n, shorter than the dresses they match, while tunics are put with coats of an equal length.

Thin materials, such

as, lace, chiffon, and fine silk jersey, are used for evening dresses which fall in soft folds. A violet-blue jersey dress has a draped bodice drawn into a gold buckle at the waist-line and the drapery tinues in long lines down the front of the skirt. Matching capes, most boleros, and jackets make evening dresses suitable for dinner wear.

con-

Grey !s a good colour knitted woollen "ensembles." Anny Blatt makes a one "piece dress in pale

grey Cashmere thread and slashes the bodice on both sides with vertical insets of vivid orange to match the upstanding collar. A strawbery-pink jacket goes well with a plain grey skirt, and grey Cashmere wool makes a sports- blouse over which is worked a design of small green sugar-loaf trees. A dark grey tailor-made is checked and atriped with lighter colour and the skirt flares out above the knees in sunray pleats. Touches of colour are right in knitted clothes, Deep duck-egg bine and claret-red, or violet and beige, are colours which Anny Blatt buts togethed, and two and three light colours are worked into patterns opor knitted blouses in neutral shades. Enusual threads

are knited by hand, and fine wool and narroW silk ribbon may be worked together in the bodice of an afternoon frock. A new rayon thread which varies in thickness produces a spotted effect when. made up.

&

Checks of all sizes ure correct for sports clothes and the designs are used in straight and bias euta. A dark grey tatlor-made with a yellow line check may have straight panel down the front of the crosscut skirt. Materials which are woven with a check in rellef are also in fashion. Finely checked tweeds in two and three colours make sports dresses" with long sleeves and pleated skirts, Mixtures of deep red, green, and brown upon belge grounds are right for these dresses, and plain brown leather belts with white suddler-stitched edges go with

them.

Accessories those whimsies which give women even more pleasure than the basic dresses and suits. have never been gayer or more amusing than this season. The Ittle gold cupids which many wo- men have hankered after, but which, so far. have been confinéd to an important; expensive dress- making house, are now in the Lon- don stores at any price from fiva shillings upwards, according to the quality of their make.

BROOCHES RETURN Gold jewellery of every kind is liked, in particular, fine gold mesh, making a necklace like a collar to wear with the high-throated dresses. Bunches of grapes in crystal or catalin are worn on the revers or

a brooch од as

the shoulder. A cascade of seed pearls like a tassel is a fantasy of the moment which women like to wear up at the neck.

Gloves are matched up to stock- ings with meticulous care when sun-belge, the most generally liked shade, la used, but with sable and earth browns, and also with blacks, a warm yet påle tan stocking is chosen.

REINDEER SHOES

Reindeer makes many of the soft pull-on gloves, handsewn doeskin the other. Reindeer and suede makes shoes with the high line up the instep which the fashion-able woman fancies.

In handbags there is a complete- ly де departure with "dress- maker" bags which have no frame, but are drawn up in triangular shape. They are made in soft woollens, in suede, and in velvet, slung on the wrist An amusing bag revival, when frames are used, is the gold-mesh bag of the early years of the the century, match- ing the gold-mesh necklaces..

In furs the newest whimsy is the boa of fox tails or the long scarf to twist round the neck, of skunk, for instance, with a velvet lining. a pocket in the lining.

The new thought in cigarette cases (and, indeed, in cigarette boxes) is to have them trans- parent, so that you see at a glance whether you have any left to offer and to smoke.

"At LANE CRAWFORD'S LADIES' SALON this week we see special displays of gloves in a very com- plete range of sizes, in kids of ali shades, washing leathers and bogskins. There are also very nice little gauntlets for motoring during the cold weather when the hands are so apt to chap, and these are fur-lined, thus ensuring the greatest warmth and comfort. This popular store also has a nice lot of fabric gloves which are al- ways so useful. These are to be had in various shades of brown.

The ever-popular "Bradley" knitted "two and three piece suits are being displayed by RIVELLE'S who have also just unpacked a shipment of nice things. There were many people looking them over when the writer went into this store but the one that attract ed most was a model in broWN combined with olive green. It had a special silk scarf to go with it. and it appeared to be fust the thing for the Races to-morrow! This store is also showing a number of the fur-trimmed coats which are so favoured at the moment.

The mere mention of MAYO'S makes one think of hats and the very best hats too! They have on display at the moment hats of all shapes-those with high crowns, the shallow shaped-hats with brims, "pill-boxes with feathers, ribbons and reif, trimmings and ob, ever so nice hats. These are nut a few of the new styles that are being shown by MAYO'8 this week. They are expecting more to come so keep well-in with this store- that is where you get "high hat!"

Many other colours are being shown, such as gipay-violet, navy, red, nigger, golden-yellow, and black; but the rusts (of which there are many) and the greens, used singly or together, are the dominant notes in the new collec- tions. A pinky-toned rust looks well with a cloudy ginger-green. and a house dress in a new bouclet yarn in this shade of green trim- med with rust, which was used as a piping and on the collar. was attractive.

The contrasting colours are un- usual, one of them being a lime yellow scarf with a gipsy violet suit. A handknit jumper suit nás a flower design in colour knitted in across the front of the jumper.

easy to adjust and can be brightened by a coloured tie and belt. Striped Jersey in two colours is used for other plain tailored dresses; the stripes are used in clever ways to give a design, while one of the colours forms the piping to the seams The tailored jersey dresses are almost tubular in their slim line, and little of the odd treat ment of shoulders is seen in these, or indeed in any of the new knit- ted clothes.
