EW fashons in London and Paris compared with our own clothes seem to most of us as far apart as fiction from fact.

It is fun to read about dress shows, but it becomes hard work when you try to Angrave practise what fashion preaches.

and I have been discussing this problem. We have decided that we are going to choose special winter wardrobes for various types of women from the new clothes that we have already seen in Paris and from the dress shows that we are about to see London..

now in.

HERE are one or two facts about the new

fashions that stick out miles.

Tu

The most important of these is the difference between the materials used for the new winter clothes and those, used during the last eighteen months.

We have become accustomed to fancy weaves of We have been introduced every kind and description.

to prints that were exquisite in design and colouring and others that were as funny as comic cuts.

This winter we will forget all that and go back to our old friends, fine smooth face cloth, rough and smooth woollen materials, heavy flat, crepes, soft thick Batins, and silks so stiff that they will stand up by themselves.

To my mind these conservative materials are the most outstanding feature of the Paris collections." They are, of course, the direct result of the political situation In France which has prevented the manu facturers from producing new and exciting weares and, incidentally, left the field open to the English manufacturer.

LOOK at the mode Angrave has sketcheal for

you carefully, because it gives you a really practical idea of the new fashions,

Here is the ankle-length skirt and knee-length tunic which you are going to see so much of in the near future,

The tunic is made of creamy coloured salin embroidered with gok thread. All-over embroidery in fine braid or thick thread is used a good deal for jackets and tunics.

You will see the collar hand on every typu af blouse, day frock, and coat as well as on the unies.

Sleeves with a certain amount of fullness at the top and narrow at the wrist are also going to be popular, and so is the tightly-fitting bodice part of the unic,

The plainly tailored dress underneath is in deep chestnut brown satin. It is a good length for winter as it is not long enough to trail in the mud on a dirty nigh!

All of this type is perfect for women who live in the country and those who live in small towns, and is also useful for informal dinnera, bridge, and the cinema.

NOTHER frock of this kind is a black velvet three-

picev.

The skirt is slim and straight with a six-inch slit

up the centre front, and the tunic is knee-length and cut in much

the same way as the one Angrave has sketched, except that the sleeves are short with only a slight fullness at the shoulders.

Tiny buttons fasten the bodico from the collar band to the waist, and there is a one-inch gold leather belt.

When the tunic is taken off the bodice underneath turns the dress into a formal evening gown.

White and silver pique is the material used for this bodice which has a high front line and a deep V at the back, and is made with a four-inch basque and finished with a narrow black waistband.

TN Parts they are showing a certain number of

tail coats for women.

One cinema frock has a coat cut exactly like a man's tails, the revers being rather more exag- gerated and faced with taffeta,

The ankle-length skirt is plain, and a cravat

is worn at the neck.

The bachelor girl may fancy herself in this kind of get-up, but

the drawback is that she can never be quite certain whether people are smiling with or against her.
