CHOICE OF COMPLEX ION

POWDER.

When choosing complexion powder, decide on one which will tone with the colour of your skin The brunette should never use a white powder-not even, under artifical light-for to do so roba bar complexion of. its natural beauty. Girls with brown eyes and hair, and the creamy skia that goes with these, should adopt &ligh: cream powder, while the true bruanette, with dark eyes and hair, will look her best in the "sunbura" sint, which can be obtained in almost all good class powders.

The extremely fair, or ash blonde, girl can use white powder in the daytime, and under artificial light ebe should choose the pale maure shade, which is so fashion- able in Paris. This powder is a little more expensive than ordin- ary colours, but it gives to the fair girl's skin auch`a delicate beauty that it is worth while investing in a box and keeping it for special occasions...

Piano keys may be kept beauti- fully white by bathing them with a

cream anada powder.

Pink complexion powder is not flattering to any type of colour- 10g, and should be most carefully voided by those who flush easily, for in such cases the pink powder takes on a purplish tint which is most unbecoming.

THE FASHIONABLE CORSET,

The new corset is simple, loose fitting, and is more in the form of a deep belt than anything else.

Most favoured of all is the model that is a corselet rather than a corset. The most practical of these are either made of silk jersey or brocade cleverly cut so as to hold the figure, in place, and they are best described

as elaborated brassieres-that, reaching as far as the hips, are finished with four stout suspenders that play an important part in achiev ing a straight line silho- uette.

Although, for the most part, made without any at- tempt at boning, several of the best of these new codels are laced down the back, a device that helps to make the brassiere- corset fit snugly to the figure, and to impart just the right amount of sup- port to a wearer blessed with a alight figura.

Women of bigger build, who feel the need of a corset that is a little more solid, are favouring a new deep-belted model made of strips of wide elastic alter- nating with panels of stout brocade. These cortet belts show no lacing whatever but are made so that they wrap simply around the figure, holding the hipe well in place, and they fasten in front with light steel busks.

White satin, brocaded in gold or silver, or white satin brocaded by hand, is often used for corsets tor- smart, trousseau outfits the suspenders for which are made of gold or silver ribbon--the actual clasps. being silver-gilt or electro- plated to match.

BEAD EMBROIDERIES.

dresemakers predicted a short In spite of the fact that many

life for beads and bead embroidery, both are more popular than ever. Not only are beads brought into play for the decoration of dresses and dress accessories, but they are even taking their place for |decorating the furniture in the

salon and boudoir,"

Cushions are entirely covered with bead embroidery worked in the most intricate and curious of designs. Porcelain and glasa beads of many hues are used, and the size chosen is usually so small that the general effect of embroi- dery carried out in them is of rich tapestry. Sometimes the patterns! are woven in a fine mesh instead of being worked on, and the effect created is the same as that of the bead mesh bags. Clever effects] are also obtained by combining opaque porcelain beads with the clear glass beads employed by Venetian bead workers, the design being carried out in the opaque, | beads against a background work. ed in ruby, emerald or opalescent glass beads.

Bead fringes are being seed again on lampshades, and an offs hoot of this craze foreglass beade is to be noticed in the number of quaint venetian glass orna- ments that decorate a room these days-glass flowers and fruit and quaint ornaments imitating coral and fish to place in a flat Japanese bowl.

Beading is also used a greatĮ deal as a means of trimming the diadem type of headdress and mixed with imitation pearls, beads. can be fashioned into the most becoming of ornaments for de- |corating either dress or headdress. Bead embroidery is even taking the place of the silk and woollen varieties on dresses, whilst the bend fridge appears to be the great stand-Ey of designers in search of a striking finish to a dress or cost

THIS WEEK'S RECEIPE NIGHTGOWN BLOUSED.

Coconut Snowballs.

Required: 1 lb of icing sugar, 1 gill of desiccated coconut, I egg white, & tablespoonfuls of water, 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice, vanilla eASSACO...

Mix the sugar, water and slight- ly beaten, white of the egg, add the cocoanut and favouring essences, and beat well, shape into balls and leave on a dish to harden.

The sugar should be rubbed though a hair sieve, as it is usual-

y rather lumpy.

LINGERIE “TIPS.”

Clasps for the shoulder ribbons are now made of imitation ivory, and are even less obtrusive than the gold or metal ones.

Lace is being used a great deal for the new nighties, some of which are showing decided yokes fashioned of tucks and lace.

Petticoats for wear beneath summer frocks should be made of a thick washing satin, so that) they form a substantial lining for & transparent material.

When washing silk andies put a little blue in the last rinsing water ever so little, for it must not show when the garments is taken out. This will prevent the silk turning au ogly yellow shade.

EGYPT INFLUENCES

FASHION.

Not only is Egypt in. fluencing the colours and decoration of frocks, but the note is also to be re- marked in the "return to draped gowns which swa- the the body as in a tight winding sheet, and in the shape and design of even- ing head-dresses.

The waist line varies considerably, and, although it shows a tendency to- wards mounting up into its rightful place, there are many models made with low waist lines,

Soft silks, muslins,crepes of every kind—marocain, romain, georgette, and crepe de Chine are seen in profusion, and as a rule they are decorated with printed patterns worked out in gay colours.

The newest nightgown is made without sleeces and is open down the sides very nearly to the waist- At the reist it is bloused and tied with lung, narrow ribbons.

EVENING CLOAKS.

The most wonderful fabrics Are being used for evening cloaks and evening creations in general. Silver or gold lame, embossed or woven through with exquisite pastel colours, is made into en- valoping capes that fold amply round the figure, falling in folds when they are loosened in front.

Embossed metal fabrics are sli the rage for evening wear this year, as the manufacturers have discovered how to weave them ig all their brilliance, and yet bâve. them as pliable as the softest of silk.

If these brilliant materials look lovely made into evening gowns, they look even more ap when made | up into evening wraps, for in this case a lining can be added which throws still more vividly into relief the splendour of the sbising material, Nothing more showy or effective could be imagined than an embossed silver lame cost lined with a bright jadegreen satin-lining, or else merely a plain black one. Gold, on the other haad, looks best when thrown. into relief by a bright orange or tangerine satin lining. When the wrap is in a metal fabric, whether it be embossed or not, the lining is never in a fancy or an embroid- ered material, but always in a strictly plain one of satio or heavy crepe
