When you One warning: choosing a little something to revitalise a frock, a bag, a glove, or your new hair do, go for the newest, boldest ideas. If feathers are the fashion, better wear the whole bird than a timid wing-tip which will only look fussy. If buttonholes are featured make yours bright and showy. It need not cost much and you will not wear it for long, but while you do it will succeed in making last year's suit look fresh from the fitter.

This year's trimmings tend to the Edwardian style, to suit the 1905 evening dresses and the swept-up hair. There's a glitter about them; fantasy has gone all feminine. If you have got any old-fashioned jewellery get it out, polish it up, and wear it, not on your bosom, but on your glove, your shoulder, or in your hair. The new high-curled hair style can take almost any sort of irimmings; feathers or flowers; bows or ribbons; sequins or stars.
