SILK FABRICS WE SHALL WEAR
This year all patterned silks are small in design. All-over patterns appear to be one colour at a little distance, and stripes are so narrow as to be hardly visible. While some printing makes a point of natural colouring, with tight posies of flowers disposed to form leaf-like motifs, other varieties are definitely impressionist in effect. One novelty took the form of an erratic map on a duck’s egg background. Gaunt Chinese bamooos patterned a beige crepe. A fairly accurate copy of the Willow Pattern design, in a soft green, was thrown up on a rosy background. Tiny Eastern letters, which one must hope spelt something dignified, were splashed on . a white chiffon. Spots of a thousand varieties are the success of the season. They are generally graduated in size. They may be as closely packed as confetti or spaced as far apart as the raisins in a meagrely made plum' duff. Spots like pin-heads are smart. Larger ones are as variously coloured as tiddley-winks.
A rubber plate-seraper is excellent for scraping out the last of the cake mixture from the mixing-dish. Quite a quantity of the mixture may saved in this way.
