A charming cocktail frock of delphinium blue satin-backed crepe with the bodice fullness gauged above the waist-line in Mie centre front, and has round the neck a border of closely-sewn sequins to match, with a powdering towards the waist. The graceful split sleeves are drawn at the wrist into a vertical band of sequins which trim the ends of the sash belt. Au enchanting little cap entirely of blue sequins finishes a perfect toilette. A sapphire and silver lame cocktail frock has a long straight skirt and the bodice shows one of the new deep fitted belts with a row of self buttons up both front and back. Another lovely frock is of lame with a black ground, patterned with small colourful squares. It is high to the neck, aiid long-skirted, with elbow sleeves and a long sapphire velvet, sash. (I was entranced with a marvellous black sequined hat—cap-shap-ed, with a high-flung brim in front—all sequins. It is really thrilling! Ohly for weddings or very smart receptions, but absolutely “it” on the. right person. Agnes Samson, Lambton Quay.—Advt.
