SPECIAL SCARVES.
FOR AIR RAID SHELTERS. Among the new scarves is a model designed for air raid shelter use, says a London correspondent. It is made of tartan woollen in subdued colours and is long enough to wind round the neck twice, while the ends fall below the wearer's waist And are finished with deep double pockets. The inner pockets, which close with zip fasteners, will hold papers and small valuable*, while the outer pockets can be used to keep one's fingers warm. Little pillbox toques made of felt or fur have square scarves of wool-jersey falling behind and these can be drawn forward and knotted tinder the chin, thus protecting the back of the head and the neck. Wool and velvet hoods cut to the old "Crusader" pattern offer further protection from the cold.
