blie uncovered a quaint old shop in her neigh bourhood, kept by an even quainter old man, who had sold beads there ior thirty years, and bhe boughfc a goodly bhare 01 his stock, and designed ii J ost impressionist and futurist cliams with beads of glowing colours and queer snapes. Inese sue sold to triendb and acquaintances, and to shops were those things were lound. Her J^'uturisfc chains 111 beads of blue ana green, some bellshaped and others balls with stripes of dull gold, were" great successes, buc even more so .were her combination chains which she made in this way. First she threaded the smallest bead needles with dental floss measuring so that there would be at least six inches to spare at . each end when the chain was hnished. The beads used were shot or steel, six large transparent beads and a- string of pearl. (Slipping a steel bead over each thread, she drew them down together to within six inches of the end. Next threading both needles through one bead, pushing it down to the other two. Then one bead on each thread again, and so on with single and double thread till she had 45 double beads not counting singles — always ending with one bead. Then both needles through one pearl bead, then one steel bead, etc., till there were six single and five double steel beads, one pearl— six single and five double beads, in pearl. Then one single and two steel beads till there were forty-six doubtes, and repeated until desired length. To close the chain she unpinned the end (keeping beads in place), threaded the needle down the other side, drew beads together, and cut off waste string. Mr. and Mrs. J. Penney (Blenheim), Mr. and Mrs. and Miss M'Callum (Blenheim), Mr. and Mrs. J. Jamieson (Queensland), Mr. and Mrs. Palnier (Randwick, Sydney), and Mke L. Mortimer (Scotland) are staying at the Occidental Hotel. Yet another folly is announced from Paris. It is the substitution of silk pyjamas for the peignoir. The fashion experts in. Paris announce that women have become accustomed to pierrot cor tumes, with their full trousers and loose jackets, at recent fancy dress balls, anil have come to th© conclusion that the attire is very" suitable for home use. When the idea was submitted to the dress designers, the latter proposed the pyjama as an alternative. A number of bold young Parisiennes have adopted the pyjama, not as a substitute for the nightdress, but as a. eaut dc/lit (a get-ting-up dress), in which to interview the cook, and receive morning visitors. Three styles of pyjama suits aTe in vogue. The Classical is characterised by wide stripes, brandenburgs, and turneddown collars. The Louis XVI. is of striped silk, with hero and there a line of flowers (writes an Australian exchange). Most popular of all is tho Pompadour, which is made of the lightest of pale pink and sky trfue silks, with small posies of flowers woven upon them. Yards' of pleated lace, ¦* about a finger deep, ai^e sewn down the front of the jackets. Lace also appears at the wrists. On some of the Pompadour jackets there is also a wide square pleated lace collar. In view of the courage of the Parisian women, it is possible that pioneers will be* found elsewhere to don ,the "trouser costume," which some of the dressmaking x firms are striving to popularise. We are ,told by .a Cheapside wholesale firm tlmt "the trouser costume for wome.ll is going strong" in Loadon. Already orders for 250 have been received, and buyers irt Australia Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa have been making enquiries. The material used for the trouser costume at present is a very fine blue serge, but other colours and' materials can be utilised. With rare discretion, the inventors of the .new costume suggest a possible, modification. This consists 1 of a loose skirt, which can bo worn above the trousers, if the wearer's courage is insufficient for a public appearance. GRAMOPHONES AND RECORDS.
