MARGOT Goes Shopping

Trousseau Sets. Miss M. McKinnon, needlework specialist, 126 A Avenue, is noted for her exclusive designs in handworked lingerie and trousseau sets. Dainty sets, with designs in artistic colouring, may be yours for the ordering. Bracelets and Hairbands. Wide bands of chromium are the latest style bracelets which are on display at Nettleship’s, watchmakers and jewellers, 65 Victoria Avenue. These bangles are the vague overseas. They are in plain, ee, punched and other fancy designs. Of softly flattering style are the new hairbands of chromium inset with brilliants in various designs. Modern Cake Shop. Have you seen the new modern shop acquired by D. At. Brown—‘‘The Home Cookery”.? It is situated in Perrctt’s Buildings, next Drew’s, Maria Place, a few doors nearer the Avenue than ■ their former premises. The window is specially attractive with its excellent selection of tempting-looking cakes. The arrangements inside are capable of efficiently meeting all requirements of the cake-makers’ art, and the shop is coo L-looking with its cream painted walls and brown panelling. “The ‘ ‘ Home Cookery ’ ’ specialises in novelty cakes. Smart Frocks for Race Wear. If it’s smart style in a spring coat or swagger suit that you seek, call at ‘‘Rosie Lee’s” Frock Salon, Avenue.

Well-cut coats in small and large sizes includes a chevron knobby tweed in beige—brown with green fleck—in smart swagger style. 4 Beige fur encircling the shoulders is a special feature of another attractive coat. A darned-wool weave navy coat is elaborately pin-tucked and has chromium clasps on the new tie front. Conspicuous in beauty is a well-cut swagger suit of “dawn rise” pink. The unique square pockets and buttons lend smartness.

The Tennis Girl. The tennis girl will be thinking of suitable wear for the 1934-35 season. Some idea of the beautiful and useful fabrics which have been designed especially for the summer sports girl will be seen at the D.1.C., where there is a comprehensive display of sports garments, materials and accessories. Included among the variety of silk and cotton materials are a few newcomers which have the added advantage of being unshrinkable and uncrushable. One of these is named “Tantex,” a fine material rather like aertex. Then ; there is Tootle’s tennis fabric and waffle cloth. Every girl knows that it is the little things that count in making the tennis outfit smart—a gay scarf or belt, an attractive bag, adornment of the now buttons all of which are delightful forms of trimming. And do you know that the D.LC has the cutest mesh tennis sockettes in white, pink and blue, as well as the long mesh hosiery? Shoe Styles for the Races. From hea/1 to foot an etirely new mode is casting its shadow on to-day’s style horizon. And style lines point downwards—to the feet. The latest court shoo has acquired a stately charm. At the Meikle Lang Shoo Co., Ltd., Avenue, there is an attractive race model, a gussett court in brown glace kid with Spanish hell, and finished with a smart buckle in beaded effect. Another court model of brown glace kid with a medium, Spa’nish heel. Anlay of lighter brown kid. This model is repeated in a black glace with patent leather overlay. A slimming appearance is given to the foot by a graceful blue court shoe of soft glace kid with a medium Spanish hell. Another style which is smart as well as comfortable is a brown and white buckskin with instep tie and Cuban heel. One in caramel brown and white is equally smart. A nice summer shoe is deep beige lintex—a fabric which looks like coarse linen and is beautifully light to wear.
