SUZETTE

Demands of Autumn.

B-r-r-r ! But it’s cold—one feels that autumn’s brief glory is about to depart. Those who have left the choosing of their winter coats until the very last moment surely dare hesitate no longer. And so charming are the new coats that one is almost reconciled. Face cloths are so smooth, velours so velvety, tweeds so soft, fur materials so luxurious, styles so individual, and individuality sifter all is what we most crave. Very well, then. Your coat may be wrapped tightly around the figure. It may be belted or have collar and cuffs of fur, or it may be innocent of all three. A flat fur scarf is the very latest—with tweed. Loose panels are appearing on the newest coats, but the inset panel design is the most attractive of all.

The muff or barrel-shaped cuff is cosy and reminiscent of that Victorian accessory, but remember, should you choose the new silky moufflon which is rivalling animal skins (not seriously) your collar arid cuffs must not be too big, because any collar and cuff out of proportion with the rest of the coat looks just a trifle—well, vulgar. To Bob or Not to Bob ? And now we are come to the fateful question. The wildest rumours are circulating in regard to feminine tresses. “ But. my dear, you can’t go to Sydney with a shingle, they simply won’t lei; you land,” and “ all the smartest Parisiennes are wearing fringes at the napes of their necks,” or “ the English sporting girl is cropped, shingled or bcobed in the day time, and voila ! at night her 1 crown of glory.” Very bewildering, i n’est ce pas? I What are we in New Zealand to jdo ? Some of us have achieved 1 shoulder length, and borne the slings \ and arrows of our menfolk, just as Iwe bore them when fate elected !“ it ” should come off five, six, seven years ago. (And they say women are changeful !) The fainter-hearted scarcely reach the hearth brush length—and truly, mes cheres, that is the most depressing period—when off it comes again. Where will it all end ? “In curls like those of the ladies in ‘ Clanford,’ ” say some, and that cry of ail the ages goes up from the straighthaired sisterhood—this time modernised—“ Thank heaven, our curls will at least be permanent.” Seriously, though, one is forced to remember the pendulum of fashion, and the rev,- frocks do seem to need “ hair,” don’t they ?
