Subtle movement may be said to be the chief feature of the dance models of the moment. If it is not achieved by dounces, finres, winged draperies, or narrow stole

Fish-Scale Sequins
Finb-calo sequins are yet an- other novelty. In shades of green, thone, as can well be imagined, singularly remind one of the denizens of the sen, radialing in irridescent sheen that is wholly captivating. Softened by grace- ful draperies of chiffon, these! compose really unique and quite beautiful dunce-frocks, and they are extraordinarily light In weight
A Feeling for Flowers,
Generally speaking, there ià a greater "feeling" for flowern than has been the case for a long while. It is, however, more mark- ed in some quarters than others. The couturierea specialising in the more sumptuous tollettes of bro- cade and embroideries, wisely leave these gorgeous materials to tell their own story. But soft lace, chiffon, and georgette gowns at once respond to dainty floral trails, "mammoth" bloome, and great market bunches posed at one side of the waist. Many are most unconventional, alike in colour, size, and expression.

11 may surprise many women to know that the golden sheen of some stockings is really a tin one.
A dyestuffs expert said that tin was used as a mordant [inens of fixing colour] in the dyeing of arti ficial silk, and the high lustre which the stockings possessed was largely due to its agency. He added:
"Women have been largely res- ponsible for the increasing applica- tions of tin to new uses. It takes an important part in the manufac ture of all artificial silk lingerie; it is used in the manufacture of nearly all articles of the toilet table; and it is tin that makes pos- aible the collapsible tubes of toiletŢ and cosmetic preparations, the safes of which are increasing every day. Miss 1928, in fact, may be regarded as a modern goddess of tin.""
The people of Britain get through 22,750,000 dozen pairs of stockings and socks in 1924. This works out at six pairs for each member of the population, compared with four pairs in 1912.

BUT WHY DOES EVERYBODY EAT
The Doctor.
WHY PEOPLE FEAR HIM.
1.
People are frequently exhorted nowadays to visit their doctors and have themselves overhauled while they are, as far as they know, well, and not to wait until disease gats a hold upon them be- fore submitting themselves for medical examination.
But few peoplo take kindly to the advice, and one reason for this, according to Sir Bruce Bruce-Porter, is their fear of the doctor.
Bome-
"They are afraid," he says, "we are going to find out thing. They have a very real ground for that fear, because no- body who practises medicine can be ignorant of the fact that there are many mon who are terrifed the doctor will find something which will mean an expensive operation."
