The surface is aever free from braiding, from metal workmanship, from flat and colourful Indo-China embroidery. No one flinches at bright colours in jackets. It is the fashion to contrast them with the skirt. Red suede embroidered in dull silver will be worn with a black skirt, green suede, like new with dull grey eaves, is put veloure. So it goes.

BEAUTIFUL CUSHIONS.

There is a new fashion for simply enormonia cuah. uns, and some charming examples are being display- ed in Oriental embroidered silk. A large square scarlet silk cushion had a rich design in all manner of lovely colours, ranging from blue to gold. A long bolster cushion in black and white embroiderier had fringed ends of jet and

silver beads.

The larger the cushion the more fashionable it is, and these gigantic crea tions are especially beautful for ditans.

ARE OPALS UNLUCKY?

There is no more beau- titul gem than the rain- bow-hued opal, and un- doubtedly it would be worn very much more than it is if it were not asddled with reputation for. bringing misfortune on its Wearer.

The prevalence of this superstition is very cur ious, for it can be traced back to nothing more unlucky than Sir Walter Scott's famous COTEL, "Anne of Gelerstein." This book introduced an apal that brought sorrow on all its possessore, and, ́.... so widely was it read a century ago, when Sir Walter was at the zenith of bis popularity, that the Rem began to be credited with the evil power he gave it in the story.

But there is no 782300 why we moderns should be influenced by an almost forgotten piece of fiction, which most of us have bót read. In real life opals are no more unlucky than any otherstone, and plenty of people who possess them can point to happy lives.
