Fashion Parade Novelty

A novel feature of a mannequin parade, in Auckland, this week, was a scene showing “what the well dressed woman should wear,” tho unsuitable accessories worn by the mannequins being replaced by accessories in tho right shade and of tho correct type. Coats and Suits.

There’s a wonderfully varied range of coats at Slater’s, tho Square. Patterns and colours are varied and there are fitted and swing hacks, beautifully tailored, and the now two-way styles. There is a splendid range of sizes. Slater’s have also just opened up some charming little suits with check tops and plain skirts at 3J- .'guineas. * A Mirror Helps. One very clover, mature woman whom I know (says a correspondent) sits : at her desk many hours of the day. Sho suddenly realised she was letting herself go. Her shoulders were down, head drooping. She hang a mirror over her desk. When she seated herself she assumed correct posture. Every time she looked up s'hc could see how she looked. She has improved wonderfully, even her mental attitude. Useful Capes. A fur cape is one of those garments that pay for themselves. It makes last year’s frock look smart and up-to-date. Resides, on these spring days, a little extra warmth round the shoulders js appreciated more perhaps than a heavy top coat. Pur capes at H. 11. Rlandford’s, Coleman Place, are very reasonably priced and a variety of sizes and shapes is obtainable. * Duster Glove.

To make a duster with glove combined, cut a half-glove out in any material, placing the right hand-flat on the material and drawing around each finger and the wrist with a pencil. Then cut along the line and machine the half-glove all round' to the centre of your duster, being sure to leave the wrist open. When dusting, slip the hand into the glove and gather up the duster. The glove will keep your hand soft and clean. Wise Preparation.

Some weeks before having a now permanent wave it’s a wise plan to consult Sylvia Kirk, of Broadway, to see if your hair needs a reconditioning treatment. To get the best results from a permanent wave your hair must be in perfect condition, and a few treatments will restore vitality to dull, lifeless hair and correct excessive dryness,* Patriots May Be Shabby. Shabbiness may become the latest fashion before the war ends, writes a London correspondent. Women may compete in wearing their oldest hats and keep them longer than they would ever have dreamed of doing in pre-war days. The hint that they should has been given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir Kingsley Wood), who said that shabbiness might become a new form of patriotism. Lingerie.

Next time you’re in town call at the Scotch Wool and Hosiery Shop, the Square, and see their new season’s underwear. Whether for yourself or lor gifts to -your friends, the attractive pyjamas, nighties and sets will delight you. All are of reliable quality in dainty shades and the newest styles. Prices are most reasonable. *
