SET out recently to And the clevórest: Whilsun cutit. I took them three ple- furce with me: They were to be my, standard of Fashion Flair.¦ I could not find anything to: beat them.

These three shirts are made from; a man's wardrobe. They are three garments which woult i all look alike on men, but here: ого

made to look different. unusual, and elegant, Why? Because the 'girl who weare them has the fashion know-how.

SHIRT NO. 1 is worn un-- buttoned, the ends knoited light-

ly to give a bare midriff. With sleeves rolled up and a pair of brief black shorts, it makes ber bench outfit.

SHIRT NO. 2 is turned back

to front, worn outside the skirt. and fightly belted to make a funke. The back-io-front trick: gives a high-collared neckline. brings the fullest part of the Sleeves yoke across the bust, worn long.

SHIRT NO. 3 is worn tuckerl. inside a slim, dark skirt. The collar turned up gives it a Byronle look: the sleeves lurned back to bracelet length.

from the others? I say it is the. number of really elegant clothes in the shops. And some of them quite. cheap, too.

The plates are

"One of the plates is a copy of the one given Rita Hayworth when the married Aly Khan," Mrs Ogust sand. Picasso bas painted some 1,500 of the plates, but they're rarely pul on the market for purchase. Ile keeps them or given a rare few to fiends.

The Rita Hayworth plate is called "The Dove." It has a fairly realistic looking dove painted in the centre, against a dark brown background. Other designs are more confusing.

Where Indian

saris met gaberdines

By JOAN ERSKINE

LONDON.

NAST met. West in London recently.

Et the British Industries Fair, bril

Hant allk Indian saris and long, tight Chinese dresses, mingle with elegant. American gaberdine suits, and fine British tweeds.

Even more brilliant saris and robes were to be seen at the presentation parties at Duckingham Palace, where the costumes of

the garden Eastern visitors easily outshono party dresses and big hats of the Westerners

A point that struck many people here as odd was the fact that Indian women, dressed exotically in conluries-old style, were accom- ranied by men dressed In the height of European fashion. And Arabian men, whose gleaming headdresses and flowing; robés, gava them. the appearance- of. fairy-tale desert sheikhs, were In company with women whose clothes were the last word in Parisian heute couture!

It is soft to the touch, and different shades have been obtained by spraying sterling silver with gold, bronzo, gunmetal and deep autumn gold.

Fifty tartans

No fewer than fifty authentic tartans were exhibited on one stand-all in talleta. Each wns waterproofed, and this firm has, also successfully applied the proofing process., to silk, satin, nylon, rayon, silk, gaberdine, cotton and tweed. How would you like a white rayon pique summer dress, guaranteed to be shower-proof?

Quite the most glamorous stockings there were two-colour nylons. For the arst time we have forestalled our American competitors. They were in a variety of shades, beige and ton, copper and cream, pale blue and silver, grey and pink. The feet were in one colour, and gradually faded up the leg into the other shade.

The idea is that they can match both shoes and dress in a new way, and with the short evening dress, could be guaranteed to cause a sensation!

Pleasantly haywire

Scame on nylons have gone pleasantly haywire. Some had a short seam up the front, o'hers had a short one at the back, finishing at the calf with, an embroidered arrÓW, Double nylon feet had the effect of bootees, and imita- tion chain bracelets, worked into the stocking yarn, looked like slave anklets.

These were designed to match a sparkling ornament on the

shoe.
