And now to describe the two pina- fore frocks which I have selected. The one on the left, No. 1236, is pic- tured with a front and buck view, Many of the newest designs are cut back, which gives urt high at the altogether neater line to my mind.

Note, too, the wide buckled bell which will give you the fashionable waisted look.

For the second No. 1237, I have chosen peont style pinafore tap that is cut square at the back as well as the front.

It is shown in a plaid woollen | material, but would make up nicely in a pretty crepe.

With this is a short-sleeved blouse for evening dutea but I have also included a long plain sleeve so that you have a practical everyday design at the same fine.

Fashion's Trend in the long ran

EVERYTHING in the Paris dress realin, no matter who is making it, is in a state of being braided, bound, and decorated with soutache braiding, white, and coloured, and trimmed with feathers, stones, and mall-heads.

There is nothing that cannot be brought into the fashion picture when once the idea has presented itself to the imaginative French,

Serall designs are favoured any way. They may be seen in white upon boleros and afternoon conts, or in the brightest sequins upon the hems, shoulders, and waistlines of evening gowns. Plaques of brightly-coloured celluloid flowers fare used on the front of belts, and tiny composition flowers are grouped | into collár trimmings and edgings,

Applications of colour resemble printed designs in some models, and insets of fine lace are likewise In- voured,
