Buttons For Four

frocks

›UTTONS are much used in modern

furnishing. When they are sewn Into the fabric of upholstery they give it an ultra-pudded, luxurious appearance which is in keeping with modern ideas of comfort.

Sometimes, however, the buttons are chosen to contrast vividly with the fabric, and lines of them adorn the sides of chairs, and there are buttonholes piped in the same colour.

Curtains also show a line of but- tons down one side, with correspond- ing Holes along the opposite side.

ASHIONS straight from Paris are generally a bit too exaggerated for you to wear around every day,

But if you use the ideas and avoid the eccen- tricities you can suit yourself as well as the

The Bedroom fashion. Train your eye to pick out what is essen-

Beautiful

NOME of the new ideas for interior decoration may truly be describ- ed as exquisite:

A lovely scheme, recently conceiv ed, consists of a bedroom having the furniture and bed-head covered in white satin, quilted in yellow piten- Ing and trimmed with yellow satin buttons sewn into the padding at in- tervals.

The door is also covered In the! padded, quilted satin, so that the room is kept quite silent.

If such a scheme is not practical for your use, then navy blue salin, with white buttons and stitching is an alternative idea.

All About Carpets

shoulders were accented and built out with scal; braiding let into the back of the skirt swung out ini a tail.

Simplified, it becomes a straight-out afternoon stead of sent. The neck has been draped with frock, with flattened shoulders made of velvet in-

changeable scarf; the braiding in the skirt has been replaced with a double box pleat. A good detail the side-fastening, repeated in the sleeves appears in both frocks,

Here are all the new ideas for day dresses. They were taken from the Paris models you see on this page. The details were simplified to give you the sort of smart, practical frock you can wear anywhere. ||-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|

2. The Paris frock had a very high neck, rounded yoke, draped bodice and skirt, moulded waist.

Our frock has a high neck too, but it's made with a folded scarf (always casier to wear). The round yoke has been squared, and now runs into a straightforward pleated bodice. Skirt becomes straight, plain; waist is defined by a broad draped sash.

3. Casual young suit

with set-in sleeves, slashed shoulders and straight, pencil-light

skirt.

We've carried that idea into a frock for all pecasions, cut to look like a suit, with a waistcoat bodice. The skirt gets reasonable fulness from a front plent; the high neck turns over and is lined to match the belt.

4. Paris gave this muit a far panel menning across the back and shoulders, put strips of back of the jacket in a sharp basque. Skirt was fur in the make-up of the coat, und pointed out the

The watch could rnalch one of the colours in the tweedy mixture.

Dark brown is, however, service- able with all dress schemes, ond it is usual for the plaited leather chain on which the watch is su pended to be finished with a leather button.

Perhaps the charm of the tob watch ieslues in its simple shape and the fact that it is small nnd free from unnecessary omamenta- tion.

Taking leaf from fla book you could make up the jacket, the same way, using braid instead of fur. Cut out the basque alto- gether (it's eccentric anyway) and have an Inlet belt instead. And make your skirt in a fine striped material; it'll give the same llusion as the pleats and (unlike them) will stay put.
