WHO CREATES THE FASHION.

"Do the English shops create or follow the fashions?" asked Mr. Justice McCardie, speaking of womenja drosses and he soonied surprised to hear that the fashions | are created by the Paris modol houses, and that all the world follows.

"

Why do women everywhere submit thus to the dictates of the Parisian designor? Is it a conven- tion to which they have submitt- ed, or is it because the Fronch really have exceptional skill "They have the creative brains,' said the witness in this caset and we believe that there is an over; whelming waight of evidence on his side. In skill of hand, eye for colour, the sense of design-in these the French craftsmen have. proved themselves pre-eminent.

Don't hang small pletures by length cords from the picture rail. They look absurd. Very neat hooks fixed to the wall by practically invisible pins are now obtainable for the purpose.

A heavy oil-puliting is safest if it depends from two cords, one from each side in a straight. line up to a separate hanger on the picture rail. A mail under cachi bottom corner gives just the slight support needed to tako the whole strain off the cords. A frayed cord or wire should be re- placed as soon as it is detected.

Always paste brown paper the size of the frame over the back of a newly-framed picture other than an oil-painting. This provents dust gotting into crevices and presently appearing under tho glass on the wrong side.

Water-colours look best in; gold frames; etchings, engravings and photographs in black. Too wide and heavy frames should be avoided. They eclipse the pictures | they should display.
