Paris Spring Fashion Shows Bulletin from Fashion Editor and artist Angrave tells how

T

HE Paris openings did not

reveal any very startlingly.. new silhouette.

For the day time, at any rate, shoulders are, still square, but not exaggerated; waists are normal; skirts are nearly all straight, some pleated, some quite plain; and not nearly 90 short as those shown in the London collections; jackets of suits are mostly hip-length and very filing.

And there are also many swing coals and long waisted couts in both double-breasted and single-breasted style. Re- dingotes are making another bid for popularity.

What is exciting and new is the riot of colour-even the most traditional tailor-mades in navy and black have revers, cuffs and pockets piped with the material of the blouse, which is usually patterned in the most vivid colourings,

Sometimes, in addition, the jacket has revers and cuffs of the blouse malerial, and the hat is also trim- med with it.

IN Creed's Collection, par- ticularly, it is almost impossible to exaggerate the importance of colour and detail. Pockets are sometimes three in

a row at each side of the jacket, and

there are double pockets.

HOW TO OBTAIN

BEAUTIFUL SKIN.

A soft, smooth, unblemisheð ́skin--- this surely is the desire of every woman. But frequently It happens that an otherwise pretty face is. marred by pimples and blackheads; sun and wind, too, play havoc with delicate skin, causing chapped lips and other sores.

As a skin preservative there is nothing better than She-ko, a fra- grant, cooling, non-irritating oint- ment, specially devised for the curativo treatment of the skin. Its antiseptic healing properties are also of great benefit in cases of eczema, ringworm, itch, wet and dry sores, and similar, skin troubles. Also for the first aid treatment of culs, scratches, burns, scolds, bruises and oiher minor injuries, Obtainable from chemite everywhere.
