Quite recently at the pictures we were introduced to the new laced slippers now being worn at Home. They are shaped like boots, but with widely opened fronts laced with ribbons to correspond with one’s gown. This arrangement naturally calls for elaborate hose, and as the manufacturers are ever on the alert to profit by Fashion’s whims, a new garment has been invented—the stocking mitten. These sensational features are very elaborate. Fashioned of silk they are embroidered and jewelled in various designs—butterflies and flowers generally—and they are slipped on over one’s ordinary hose I By the Corinthio last week sailed Miss Rita Macintosh, only daughter of Mr Charles Macintosh, who will spend some time in Argentina. With her went Miss Gertrude Head, who is to be married to Mr Jack Macintosh at Monte Video.

Gardening was suggested, but, to use her own words: — ,£ I wanted something adventurous/' So a newspaper sprang into life. Very cleverly the editor chose for her advertising manager a remarkably pretty girl—one of Harrison Fisher’s favourite models, in fact—a girl as business-like as she is pretty, and the result is, of course, unlimited advertising business!
