• IDEAS FOR POCKETS Pockets are details to which the fashion of the moment attaches some importance, not only for coats, but skirts and corsages, and to an equal extent for sporting and dressy occasions. Tile ideas derived from this inspiration are as numerous as they are unexpected. There is, for instance, a pocket cut like a flower. It is put on the skirt of a velvet or taffeta dress, and makes an attractive finish. For wraps the pocket is placed obliquely and ornamented with small flounces and godets gradually decreasing in size. It can be edged with ruching, or cut out in the shape of a scallop-shell, or be embroidered cork-screw-fashion, or have an open-work monogram on a transparent foundation. For sport dresses, the portfolioshaped pocket has become almost the regulation thing, so numerous are the examples of it. It should be embroidered with the club badge or some such article as an airplane or a tennis racket, and the result is a pleasantly personal toucli.

AMUSING NECKLACES For afternoon wear, someone has started coconut necklaces painted to match the shade of the dress.

New Ways With Eggs

GLOVES MADE OF GOLD

LATEST CRAZE OF TOE ULTRA-SMART £SO A PAIR Fashionable women of Paris, in a spate of eccentric ideas to produce the bizarre, have evolved the latest fad of costly gloves to match their coloured finger nails, writes an overseas correspondent. The vogue of bright red nails has gone. The woman of fashion today polishes her nails green, gold, yellow, or other colour to suit her whim. Some of them have indulged in colour schemes on the nails, each finger being painted with several colours such as the Tricolour, red, white, and blue. TO MATCH FINGER TIPS Gloves should now match the finger tips. At a society function recently, a prominent countess appeared with golden finger nails and a pair of goldcoloured gloves. These were put up for auction in aid of charity, and they were found to be of woven fine gold mesh. Glove manufacturers are inundated with orders for gloves of silver or gold threads. The cheapest of these costs £SO a pail - , while huge prices have been paid for gloves made from finely woven platinum threads. ONLY FOR THE FEW Fashion experts pi'edict that the new glove vogue will last among the ultra smart, since there is little danger of the mode becoming “vulgarised” or popular owing to the cost. Glove makers say that they aro receiving many orders from the very exclusive fashion houses in New Yoi'k and London. The gloves take some time to make owing to the intricate labour needed and for this reason deliveries will he delayed.
