||M JAG is in... with a totally naw look. Favourite fabric is a soft wido-waie cord in pinafores end dungarees • • . the tops and braces lined to match sweet little blouses in small soft flowered prints . . . shades of navy, burgundy, khaki. Work Pants are back .. . and so arc the A B C, 1 2 3 dungarees. These are FUN! In navy cord or navy denim with aforementioned letters and numbers in brilliant contrast. The now SUSAN AND SAMUEL knits are so pretty . . . lots of lovely pinks and creamy camels; stylos for autumn are very classic with crew neck, set-in-sleeves, lots of stripes. Viyelle looks marvellous this year... very now, tiny dark prints... so sweet with the little hand-smocked bodices and Pater Pan collars in cream, with embroidered rosebuds and feather stitching .. . SIMON AND SARAH, 203 Papanui Rd. Ph 557-511. pirn J ' A very cosmopolitan collection this week nt NEUTRAL PLUS... imports abound! I like the English stoneware from Parker Potteries . . . very practical, very good-looking. There are Marmalade jars, MeatRoll Steamers, and stoneware containers for Rice, Salt, Jam, Odds and* Ends. From France . . . "Arcoroc”. This is the very tough shock-resistant smoked glassware, and NEUTRAL PLUS have cups and saucers... a very nice shape, good for either tea or coffee, and very nice to drink out of. Also from France, and just in time for the last of the pickles and , relishes, the absolutely air-proof jars — all seals and clips — very professional, very-French-housewife-looking. And from right hare in Christchurch . . . more of the deep blue Aspinal! pottery. NEUTRAL PLUS, 225 Papanui Rd. Ph 567-702. I N.Z.AJ.D. JEAN PRITCHARD discovered, quite by chance, last week, that many of her clients think the furniture in the Studio is for display purposes only. NOT SO! Every piece is for definite sale . . . that lovely grey tweed wing chair, the settees and squashy sofas, aide chairs, side tables, coffee tables, drum tablas etc. Two unusual settees caught my eye . . . one in soft coral, the other in a burnt sienna glazed chintz... this fast one is only $445.00 . . but do go and see for yourself. They have a naw shipment of Warner fabrics, some never to be repeated; and five new fabrics in from France. JEAN PRITCHARD'S is where you find very different very clever decorator touches ... the tulip shaped candle holders ... hand painted to match hand-painted Thai silk dinner napkins.

He designs ~ and makes rather elegant shoes in Wellington, and they are availale at JOHN CRAIG'S, Merivale. A feature of these shoes is the soft suede covered archsupports hidden in the soles; a successful combination of elegance and comfort. A collection of "light-shoes-bright-shoes-dance-along-by-night-shoes" is rather fetching . . . very high heels, but so wellbalanced no tear of wobbling . . . the curved back 1 strap is in kid, the front vamp Is overlapping suede and kid, forming a very discreet toe-peeper. Super colours... champagne, black, a very rich claret, and i a cafe-quartz combination that will go , with EVERYTHING. The style is "Monique” by David Grey, i the price $59.95.'

A dark French blue background, with baskets of glossy fruit, and peach blooms in an unusual champagne shade; from France, a Boussac cotton in soft greens with white and pink-centered narcissi and daffodils; and from India, one of the nicest (and cheapest!) furnishing fabrics I've seen for ages ... a pate, almost screen printed look, with "faded" colours on a cream background. In the heavy textured Indian cottons there is a new arrival too ... a very wide bedspreadwidth fabric in wide and narrow stripes in muted shades of blue, green, coral, sand, corn. Terrifically smart! HARPERS BAZAAR, 138 Aikmans Rd. Ph 7 J The new autumn/ winter line at REGENT BOUTIQUE ... is soft, classic, flattering. And they have a very big range of exactly what you have been looking for.
