A Few Fashion Points

LIE RE are the "Don'ts" suggested by reference to the note-book of a Loudon fashion expert after seeing the spring modes. When choosing the summer ensemble don't forget to consider your mode of transport. What is suitable for a luxurious car is seldom happy when worn in omnibuses. Dark clothes, however light in weight, are best for ordinary iiav-time wear.

l)oi;'t attempt extravagant lingerie fronts and jabots unless able t,o keep them always fresh and dainty. Soiled. crushed white is deplorable.

Don't travel in absurd hats and flyaway veils. For quiet visits and simple, friendly entertainments, avoio an impression of best clothes.

Don't wear a wide bolt, if inclined 10 be on the large size, and don'( attempt the short swing-back coat with ninny pleats at the back unless yon are slight and tall. The back pleats make women appear thick in figure. The slim swing-back threequarter length coal, on the other hand, is charming and suitable for young and old.

Don'i alter vour own style too snd lenlv.

Don't wear a shade because it is the fashion if il takes the colour away from eves and hair.

Don't wrap collars and scarves round your neck. If past first youth a small V line is the best for most, women.

Don't, unless of a particular type, attempt to wear the built-up shoulderline. It is very trying to any figure, especially in the big sports coats.
