MODERN FASTENINGS

THE DRESS-MAKER OF TODAY has a comparative-

ly simple task in arranging for the fastenings of garments of different orders.

A DAY-TIME HAIRDRESS

For casual wear, Larry Germaine, hair stylist, has created this coif- fure for Laraine Day, "The young actress wears it on informal occa- sions,

The hair is caught up on the ' sides in a swhirl with soft ringlets framing the face and a loose dip. on the forehead. !

B-The crown of the head is kept smooth' and gives the effect of a tiny eap with ringlet curls around it.

Bides of the half; right and Jaft, are identichi, tombed "at "Thẻ face, the half is hight up at the temples and brushed in soft, ring- lets around the fatè,

D-After the hale is thoroughly: dry, Mr. Germaning brushes it vigi orously before combing. This brush- ing tends to pollah and add sheem to the hair.

Buttons" and button-holes and books and eyes still find their place in many situations, and for other applications there are press studs and the long automatic fasteners, all of which have been greatly improved in recent times.

Easier Today

At one period the, materials available placed severe restric- tions upon those, who wished to make their fastenings more in line with the style of the garment, but plasties and metal alloys have now made it possible for colour to be used with full effect

Even the automatic fasteners are avaliable in colours, while buttons and, clasps, in all shapes and sizes, can be obtained in the most delicate shades,

As a result it has bern pos-

sible to give these details a very definite place in the de- coration of clothes, besides in so many cases, providing a much more effective fastening than used to be possible.

Security

It is the security which is now possible with these modern fas- eners that has Inspired auch supreme confidence in the latest products of the British industry, even though they are lighter than

the old types which preceded

them

The lightness Is apparent in those types of fastenings which are particularly applicable to the finest pieces of lingerie, where it is important to prevent any drag on the material and the fastener must not stand out..

These

that are are points

in the specially provided for Raynu series of fasteners" and they are reffected by the names of some of the series, like the Mighty Atom, British Bulldog. and so on.

Eugenie Snood Hat

The great success in wartime headgear, the EUGENIE IMPERA- TRICE Dill-box style, posed for- ward to, right on the brow from snoods of fish net mesh. Practically every woman should domess one of these hats, indicating a cen- tury-old revival,

The infshed hairdress is combed into place. The sides are caught up at the temples and then brushed into soft ringlets 'around the face. Pin curls on top are combed into a soft dip on the forehead.
