Handbags, buttonholes, hats, and frocks have ‘‘gone to sea” in London. The giant liner Queen Mary is responsible. It is now the fashion to own a linerhandbag. The inost popular are shaped and coloured to resemble the Queen Mary herself. The bottom is black leather; tho top quarter is white leather with holes punched to resemble portholes. The clasp is three red funnels. From the, centre funnel to the front of the bag is a silver chain bearing a miniature anchor. in keeping with these bags are the new round sailor hats. These are like American sailor caps, and are worn in wool-and-silk mixtures of all colours, as well as in white pique. The little hats are exceptionally becoming and are splendid for motoring, as it it impossible for them to blow away. Frocks show the same trend. Heavy white silk or pique sailor-girl dresses with square collars are being displayed for tennis wear; while Queen Alary blue, a. soft bluey-green, seawater colour, is a new favourite fur organdie blouses.
For travelling there are new silkcovered rubber-lined zip-lastened toilet bags, decofated with a gay design of seagulls, anchors and miniature liners.
