Dance at Scots College. .. Tho final dance for the season of the series arranged by the Scots College Parents' Association, in aid of the pavilion fund, was held recently in tho 'college gymnasium, and proved highly successful.

On the Moon. The new divided Jmlcker-skirt in a tweed mixture will be worn, by many smart young people up North for tho shooting season, states the "Daily Telegraph." This will have a. little waistcoat of the tweed, which will appear again as facings to the suede coatee. Basqued and belted coatees and cardigans will be an attractive youthful mode for the moors. The, belted tunic will provide a variation from the severely tailored coat and skirt, or the more ordinary jumper and skirt. A very novel bat which will be sponsored by well-known sportswomen on the moors is of a brown beige partridge tweed, slightly "Bobin Hood", in trend, as it turns up on the' left side. It has a small protective brim also of the stitched, tweed, over an under one of brown felt, and a narrow Petersham ribbon round the crown; The introduction of food novelties will not prevent the hostess from serving local cakes and pies made by the proverbial light hand of; the. Scottishcookfrom old family recipes. On the other hand, this combination of new and old dishes is likely to prove extremely popular. Oilcloth Curtains. : . ■. Tho fashion ■ for using, oilcloth for curtains is growing (writes* an Englishwoman)* It hangs rather stiffly— but that is often, in: keeping with modern furniture—and; it has a high glaze which reflects and holds the light. Tho Hon. Mrs. Richard Bethell, who has a modern town house, has golden oilcloth curtains in her dining-room. The walls are of pale yellow; the chain of a deep la malachitei green, and tho cushions of burnt orange, . while the dining-table, with its plate-glass top, is decorated with the coloured glass fish and shells which modern decorators have evolved. Mrs. Bethell V home boasts an amusing bathroom, decorated as the Garden of Eden, with the light concealed in a red silk apple, and the walls painted with the tree of the forbidden fruit. There is even- a painted serpent. ' A "Squash" Party. Another gay festivity of London's season was the "Squash Pirty" given by Captain and Mrs. Cunningham Reid (states a correspondent). The guests were vastly intrigued by their invitations, for none of them had any idea just exactly what a '' Squash Party was; but when they arrived they found themselves in a "Parisian Night Club In time"—alias tho Squash Court— which had been effectively transformed for the occasion. And here .they seated themselves on the silken cushions that were distributed on tho floor, and proceeded to enjoy a cabaret' programme presented by a group of French and Russian artists. And then, when supper-time arrived, a "squash" figured on the menu in the shape of a new' dish of green peas and choppedup bacon, which everyone voted was excellent. "Wear what you please" had been inscribed in one, corner of the invitations; but the majority of the guests played safe and came in ordinary evening dress. The hostess, however, was a striking " figure in flowered pyjamas, and Mrs. Arthur M'Grath wore scarlet ones. Miss Joan Barry, who, had been working late at the studio, where her new film was being "shot," came in a tweed coat and hat; but, with these exceptions, the party was clad in "tails" and in colourful gowns of satin and chiffon. The King of Spain was among the guests, and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the new experience of a "Squash Party."
