Five new ways

of wearing

flowers...

HE old-fashioned way of wearing flowers on a frock was to pin a spray of orchids or carnations on one shoulder and leave it at that..

Nowadays you've got to be far more original,

both in the flowers you choose and in the way you wear them. Here are some unusual and effective ideas you might try.

+

1. One of the newest designs

is the crescent, which con- sists of three or five blooms, equally spaced in a wide crescent, pinned across the decolletage of a frock.

Camellias or gardenias, with their stiff, fermal leaves, are the best dowers for this-Idea, and it is best suited to a classle, rather severe type | of frock.

Have you ever thought-of- wearing Bowers an the back of your frock! They look particularly effective when you are dancing, and will keep fresh and unerusher the whole evening.

If you've got a dress with a low- cut V back wear a trailing spray of flowers; if your dress has got a sash wear a Victorian pory right at the centre back. (Good on a frilly. duty frock, this: not suitable for a formal, maulded dress.) Ask your forint to make up the Dosy in as many circles as possible, using all sorts of flowers and colours.

*

3. A narrow neckles of flowers

with bracelets to match make a charming trimming to a simple frock. If you have a long, slim neck, make the collar wide and tight-tits, and just wear one deep cuff of flowers to match.

4.

*

If you're slim, you right try tucking a few flowers into your belt or sash; carnations or rosebuds would be best, for they won't crush. Experiment to find out whileh Is the best place to put them-- anywhere between centre trant and the extreme side.

5.

The idea for "braces" of Nowers comes from falsy- chulns. Fix them over narrow shoulder straps and they will look an if they are supporting your frock. Any small flower will do for these. The same idea, not so now but neck- still popular, is a Hawaiian leta "Lei." This is a wreath worn round your neck, made of unusual flowers. Tiny everlasting flowers, dyed brilliant green, red, pink yellow, blue, violet, and white, for instance, look lovely on a black frock,

Short Skirt Revival

JVHISPERS concerning the trend of

fashion for 1038 are interesting. Some women will be pleased to hear that shorter and tighter skirts will be our lot, if some of the Paris dressmakers get their own way.

Many of the skirts seen recently reached only to about three inches below the knee, and although many broke into loose pleats some could scarcely have been tighter without trippling the wearers.

However, these women who do not care for very short skirts can take comfort in the fact that Paris design- ers are sure whether to go all out for these shorter skirts, which look so youthful that they will make uny- one over thirty or chance to wear seem middle-aged,

or to give us dresses of a more becoming length.

While some

me obviously want to stick to wider skirts a little longer, others. are anxious to cut out every strap of superfluous material.
