LORNA LONDON SAYS fl® tL KF S Bi Dear Out-of-Town Friends MADAME X-MAS IS ON HER MERRY WAY

November brings us almost up to Christmas, and the shop windows are even now beginning to go all giddy and gay. What is your programme for Christmas—going away for holidays? Having parties? Being jolly? Then you’ll need one or two new things to cope with the occasion—holiday frocks, play suits (if you’re young enough), even a festive frock or two—and Londontown has them all—everything you could wish for or dream about—everything you’ve been picturing yourself in when you long to look your best. Pinafore Frocks are the latest fashion, bound to bring a festive air to every occasion when they’re worn. This is the style that’s proving so popular overseas right now: as up-to-date as to-day. Pinafores in Saxe, Pink, Blue and Gold with striking felt applique and contrasting blouses Only Another really exciting holiday notion and one I’d personally ]ike to see adopted by many young girls because of its vivid colourfulness and gaiety, is the very new and (to young girls) very flattering Hawaaian skirt, made of gay floral "“7/3, 10/6 up ,0 For those who are so good at "making, mixing and matching" their own, I’ve got four good items from the Dress Materials Department.
