WAR AND WOMEN’S DRESS.

Has the war affected women’s dress ? This is a question that will interest all our women readers, and it is fully answered in the pages of Everylady’s Journal for September. This is the semiannual fashion number, and contains over fifty new spring and summer pattern designs, exclusive of the four selected paper patterns which are given free with the magazine. One noticeable effect of the war is that there has been an increased demand for up-to dale and reliable paper patterns. Everylady’s Journal—always a live and up to-date periodical offers any of our readers, free of cost, a summer pattern catalogue of 250 designs. The coupon in September issue should be used to secure the Iree catalogue. While this care for fashions of the day is a particularly strong feature in Everylady’s Journal, there are other conspicuous items. For instance, an expert in poultry tells bow the world’s records in egg-laying were recently broken, and gives instructions so that the householder may secure the same results. Amongst the interviews is a capital talk with the Queen of England by Mary Roberts Rinehart, who is also the writer ot the serial story “K.” The practical is again uppermost in a beautifully illustrated article on the making of floor-mats in rafia. Readers are reminded that the War-Puzzle Competition, with ;£ioo in cash and 121 other prizes, is still open, and may be entered at once.

If any reader Is unable to obtain Everylady’s Journal locally, she can secure it by post for six months by sending ,3s in stamps or postal note to T. Shaw Fitchelt, 376 Swariston Street, Melbourne.
