THISTLE GREEN

JEWELLED FLOWERS. FELT HANDBAGS. Dinner ensembles in printed materials are smart. They are worn with sliirtmaker blouses, and the sleeves are elbow length. * * * * Rhinestone jewellery is more popular than ever, and big brooches are features of the oversea collections. Draped shoulders of the new evening gowns require the comparative quietness of these adornments, and they are inspired by the vogue for diamond jewellery overseas. Many different cuts are combined in one pin. as well there are some very attractive brooches which have one jewel combined with the rhinestones. * * * * Headdresses will not be quite so popular during the coming season, and, where real flowers are not worn, the new dusty pink and blue gardenias, centred with pearls, are smart. They are in cameo shades of. pink, and chalk blue, as well as off-white; in clusters of two or three, as well as single blooms. * * * * Lemon yellow glace leather used for gloves is also employed for handbags, some of which are shaped like paper bags. Metal bases and fastenings at the side, instead of the top, are other innovations;

New colours for stockings in Paris are definitely darker, and some dark brown shades have a reddish or purplish tinge.

Felt has been revived for afternoon bags, and oilcloth is featured for small pouchy styles. Cloque suede cloth is new for bags for more formal occasions.

In Paris a jewelled diadem was worn with a black Mainboclier gown. With the same frock another woman chose diamond stars clipped to the bodice.

Thistle green tweeds worn with plaid frocks are the latest Scottish combination in sports suits.

For hot days in town a print and plain ensemble is a most useful garment. The frock is printed and designed: on tailored lines, and with it is worn a short-sleeved coat in sharkskin or linen.

A high-necked dinner gown with kimino sleeves is made from white slipper satin printed with blue hydrangeas and worn with blue Jacquered finger nails, eye-sliadow, and blue-rinsed hair.

Scotch blackberry is the new daytime colour, and tweeds of this hue are worn with matching velvet scarves, while the hats are specially dyed to obtain the correct shade.

A handbag shaped like Napoleon’s hat is one of the newest novelties in Paris. It has a little pocket on one side for the hand to slip into when the bag is under the other arm. Gondola is the name given to another purse shaped like boats on Venetian canals.

Manufacturers have long been devoting their attention to special frocks for small women, but now accessory makers are also catering specially for them. A series of handbags has been evolved specially made for small people. Antelope suede with just a touch of metal in the ornament or fastener is popular.

Lotuses or water lilies of pique mounted on clips are useful accessories, and will freshen a coat or frock at a moment’s notice.

For a summer scarf wear two different handkerchiefs of batiste or linen in block colours clipped together with a matching pin.

Divided skirts are ideal for country and sports wear. One of ink blue linen is worn with a matching shirt, and vivid yellow jacket. Grey jersey accompanied by poppy red accessories, handkerchief scarf, and belt, is another good colour scheme.
