Mrs. Charles Burnard, Wellington, who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Drummond, Lansdowne, lias returned home.

Picture frocks, perhaps, are the most intriguing things of the moment, but the very latest whim is the bridge coat. It had'been trying to creep in for a good long time, and the coal strike last year gave it its opportunity. Now it has blossomed forth in all its glory, and I doubt if, in future, we shall consiiler our autumn wardrobes complete without it- Princess Mary was one. of the first people to see its possibilities. To change at night into semi, if not full, evening dress, with our arms bare, or protected only by georgette sleeves, meant discomfort, if not actual chill. And yet a woolly coat was incongruous with a bead-embroidered filmy frock. The bridge coat, of velveteen, heavy crepe de chine prettily einbroide.erd, or brocade, is a really lovely little garment. It affords jiist the warmth and comfort one needs in the evening, and saves one from feeling cold in going from one room to another.

There is a touch of the “pride that apes humility” in iLe latest fashion in collars presented as a winter novelty in Paris. White, demure, and puritanic in cut, it sounds the last word, in simplicity, but the material of which it is made is not lawn or linen, or even the more sophisticated georgette, but ermine. White rabbit would look equally as well and is quite inexpensive. These quaint little accessories ot dress have suddenly made their appearance on velvet frocks. One tinv skin is»more than sufficient for the purpose. A little bunch of ermine tails takes thhe place of the small bow of black velvet or satin which would be the approved accompaniment were the collars made of cotton or silk. Another novel use has been found for ermine tails, which are no longer made up with the skins. They are being made into buttonholes, and’ look extremelv smart attached to the lapel of the neat black and dark grey tailor-made cloth coats.

Jewelled animal heads are a novel fashion of the present winter season overseas, that has brought a sparkling note into the exclusive fur establishments. The idea is that the animals heads should be used once again in making up fur trimmings, and that to embellish these decorations still further, the mask should be embroidered all over in glittering diamante. The vogue be'-m in a smart Paris showroom, where a chocolate chiffon velvet evening wrap, heavilv furred with fox, sported two diamante jewelled heads, which met and formed a clasp , e ’ ect ,' The fashion has gained approval, and now heads are embroidered with coloured heads as well as diamante, and are mounted on the hem of coats in conjunction with their skins, and also on cuffs. The new style lias the attraction of comparative novelty.
