The Art of Being Chic in a C TO ACHIEVE the ultimate in smartness on a moderate expenditure; perhaps to have one costume which may, if, necessary, do duty all day, no matter what the day brings, is the problem confronting a great number of women. Many people are bewildered by the ' great array of clothes so entrancingly displayed by the shops with the result that purchases are often made which later bring only regret and disappointment. There is one sure way of unlocking the doors which lead to chic. It is to have the “costume complete,” and where, perhaps, not more than one daytime costume is contemplated, the way to soive’the problem is through the medium of the suit Adaptable to Needs, This season brings the most charming and becoming suits of many seasons past They are not formal, neither are they of the sport type, and are made in styles becoming to women of every type and age. They are comfortable, smart, new and thoroughly in keeping with practically all the activities of most daytime hours. Furthermore, they seem to be made to form a background for accessories, and by a change of accessories practically a complete change of costume may be achieved. The newest suits come usually in grey, tan, blue or black. With the grey suit the shoes and hose may be gun-metal colour or the shoes may be a very deep grey and the stockings gun-metal chiffon. A deep grey hat is smartest with such a suit, much smarter this season than a hat of light grey. Colour is introduced in the form of jewellery. A jade, amethyst, or smoked-pearl set may be worn. This set consists of a choker necklace with cabochon clasp, bracelet and, if they are becoming, small button earrings. A large’bunch of artificial violets of a soft faded lavender tone lends distinction to this costume if it does not clash with the jewellery chosen. The Tans. The tan suits should have all their accessories in alligator brown. Alligator leather oxfords, hose a shade lighter. ■ Again the hat should be darker than the suit. The jewellery should be gold or topaz, the gloves tan suede., Black suits, or suits in black and white combination, should be completed by black lizard-skin shoes, gun-metal, dark grey or sunburned hose, and grey suede gloves. The bag should be lizard hide, the jewellery crystal or pearl. The hat is black and a touch of white, where this is becoming, adds to its smartness. The blue suit must have a blue hat; it may be felt, but the new linen straw is smarter. Completed by navy blue shoes and gun-metal hose, a gun-metal leather bag, clasped with tarnished silver and jewellery of beaten silver brightened with insets of deep rose quartz, and hand-tailor-ed gloves of gun-metal suede, the costume attains the maximum of chic. ...- c - .-w v . *'v'C- < 3> wen k | for Boy’s l*y|amas £ Search the whole town —you won’t find other bargains like these: — L BOYS’ COSY PYJAMAS, wash-well fabrics, all smartly striped, sizes to £ fit boys 4 to 7 years, 5/6; 8 to 11 years, 5/11; 12 to 16 years, 6/11.
