Fashion Notions

A novel idea of a glove with a ring attached has been made in Paris and New York. The ring is of the singlestone type, with synthetic jewels or china “stones.”

Hindu splendour in bracelets, chokers, and necklaces and rings is nnothei symptom of Coronation siinipltiousness.

An enormous topaz or stone ol equally showy colour makes a vivid contrast with neutral tweed lapels on autumn suits.

|AO you remember that quaint idea ot wool fringe which was a crochet notion of your favourite aunt’s for tea-cosies? The same notion, willi the loops clipped, is used to make a sweater which is the latest whimsy for keeping warm in America. The sweater is worn with woollen skirts, or as a jacket -accessory for evening frocks.

A long white woollen redingote was one of the smartest notes at a big film pi cm i ore recently in London. The collar and sleeves were finished with ermine.

Pumps made to match worsted suits neatly finish a tailored silhouette. Not practical for winter wear, they are ideal for the change of seasons and very smart with any of the pepper-and-salt family 'if materials. The designer said it was a camouflage idea, so that one melted into the grey background of the city during a possible air raid.

Schiaparelli suggests: —That you wear brown buckskin gloves laced in beige with tweed suits. Carry a little lightweight plaid ot raspberry coloured cashmere shawl when travelling by car or train. That in the winter wine-red felt boots with soles and sides ol pale blue kid add considerably to the fireside decoration and the comfort of the wearer. A snow-topped lox cape over all evening suits is a superb addition to chic.

With an extremely low-backed black evening dress a gold necklace inlaid with pearls in the Indian manner is a smart addition.

MINIVER is a word whioli has been constantly recurring in the descriptions of Coronation robes. It is a plain white fur possibly originally of Siberian squirrel in its winter coat, and in Norfolk the white stoat is called u miniver.

MOTHS can lie driven out of rugs or carpets with greater speed amt more certainly it suit is sprinkled over the surface before sweeping, making certain, however, that all salt is removed in the cleaning.
