Princess Elizabeth will certainly set another new fashion for children when she wears her new party frock of soft rosy taffeta. It has a high waist, marked by a broad sash and a flowing skirt, the hem of which touches the toes of the Princess’s little heel-less black satin slippers. The Duchess of York saw a similar frock in an illustration of a Dickens novel, and was so charmed with its old-world quaintness that she sent the picture to the Princess’s dressmaker to be copied.

Lady Chamberlain must have the most persuasive ways, for who else but a woman could have coaxed Italy to lend thirteen million pounds’ worth of art treasures for an exhibition in London? And what- must Lady. Chamberlain have felt like when the treasure ship Was caught in the gales which raged round Britain at Christmas time? It was thought that a sea voyage would incur less complication than a train journey across Europe with its Customs barriers, but nobody thought that King Neptune would behave as badly as he did. This Englishwoman was responsible for the organisation of the exhibition, over which critics and others have run out of adjectives in their praise. Commencing by making one for a friend, which was much admired, Miss Helen de-Schryver now spends her days making lovely bead posies. Helen, who is fair-haired and smiling, is a New Zealand girl, who, through a serious illness last Christmas, had to remain here and make her home in Sydney. Her mother chose a flat in Double Bay, with a charming outlook, across window boxes of geraniums, to an avenue lined with willows and trees, which are now covered with leafy spring glory. With a table set with silk, beads, and wire, placed alongside her couch, Helen fashions the posies. Maybe they are blue or pink daisy ones, of pearly lily of the valley, diamante centred poinsettia, or to represent red currants. She does them all in her own way, and some of the big posies take a day to make.' They are placed with friends, and the sales have been most encouraging. When she tires of this beadwork her mother always has novels for her to read.
