SUZETTE

Fashion’s Pendulum.

Our anxiety for the safety of the Southern Cross has been too terrible, hasn’t it? Now we know that all are really alive (we were convinced all the time that they were, of course) —we can offer a prayer of gratitude for Captain Holden —and remember our frocks again. It is interesting to notice that the tweed coat and skirt, for seasons banished, has completely re-estab-lished itself. Perhaps it owes it’s new found popularity to its busi-ness-like chic and neatness of design (the coats are sac or semi-fitting and extremely short), more perhaps to the charming soft tweeds it is now reproduced in—mostly greys, warm browns, dusted blues, pastel shades of green, with gold flecked and pebbled surfaces. Yet what street suit is complete without its necklet, choker, or stole of fur. Stone martin, South American shunk, fitch, marmot, fox—natural, grey, crossed or Arctic—what infinite variety—and of course you choose the one that blends best with your tweed. Shoes to Match Your Evening Gown. Should you choose a piquant little frock of claret-coloured chinelle, then red must your satin slippers be. The addition of a rhinestone buckle will make them twinkle indeed. The picturesque Spanish (peg) heel is still in vogue and the Louis heel is re-appearing here and there. For For day wear we shall soon be in suede again—praise be to the great dictator of shoe fashions—they are so comfy. Already our golfers have discovered them—and they know.

Although skirts are a few inches longer (you knew knees had disappeared, didn’t you?) there is still a large expanse of stocking in view, especially out of doors. You now begin to choose stockings much more with an eye to each frock with which they will be worn, and the beige, pale face, and flesh tone for all occasions will not be correct. For the bronze suit there are chestnut tones, for the black, navy, silver grey, mushroom or navy itself are available. For evening wear (ah! that is another pair of stockings), gold, silver, wheat and nude only are permissible. And now we are come to the vital question that is absorbing every feminine heart and mind at this moment. “To bob or not to bob?” But we can chat about that next time mes amis.
