„ FEMININE JOTTINGS. As dresises grow plainer scarves and buttons become more exuberant. A row of big buttons right down the front and an informal scarf collar are all the trimmings allowed to some of the most effective sports eostumes. The scarf effect is used cleverly in aftemoon frocks, made with a crossover corsage which ties loosely at the neck. Even topcoats have cravat collars which can be knotted carelessly at one side or turned over primly in front, according to one's mood. Check -materials are Very smart this winter, and they find favour for coats and skirts as well . as sports coats, I while accessories assUme the most joyful checks, handbags and cravats being particularly susceptible. The latest handbags are large enough to take away for the week-end. Some are square, with a red bootlace drawing together along the top. Organdie, a finer sheer.er organdie than usual, allies itself dn dark rich colours to hem borders of flat, sihiny feathers in some of the new evening gowns. The skirt is very wide and the underneiath .slip of satin very narrow. Fur is another good team mate for organdie. Double flap pockets have caught the judicial eye of fashion authorities, who add them to tailored coats with good effect. j Gircula-r black velvet evening cloaks j with slits for ithei arrns to come • through are showing in London with heavy garlands of paste round the neck instead of collars — another fashion of ancient Rome. For that new tailor-made or cardigani suit you'll want one of the new thick white silk scarves that fold under th© chin and drop to the waist with — and this is important, mark our words — your inonogram handworked on the front.
