FOR COUNTRY WEAR

JUMPERS AND TWO PIECES Tweed is very much in evidence just now in the sphere of jumper suits and is combined with a variety of materials. S Spots and stripes are in rivalry for the adornment of the suits, the spots being | big- and the stripes either very wide or S very narrow. They tend to run cross- ! ways; often they are sloped into diagonal designs and sometimes they do quite surprising and even fantastic things. Big brown spots on beige made an effective jumper which accompanied a brown coat and skirt seen recently. The jumper was finished with a plain beige scarf which had spotted borders. Scarves, worn with ends falling at the back, are very smart with jumper suits. Three-Colour Stripes Blue, black and white stripes appeared on a grey-beige jumper worn with a navy wool coat and skirt. Scarlet and navy stripes on a grey jumper were very effective; there was a scarf to match; the navy skirt was pleated at the sides. A navy wool suit had an accompanying jumper of grey, spotted in navy; the spotted material appeared on the pockets of the coat. A grey two-piece with a collar of grey lambs’ wool had deep borders of darker grey at the hem of the coat. Bands of darker grey appeared on the waist-line of the slim, straight frock. A long, straight coat of green covert was removed to show a shell pink satin jumper with a narrow fringed border of green worn with a green covert skirt. In Dark Grey A dark grey wool two-piece was trimmed with (lark grey fur. A suit of ochre and brown diamond patterned tweed was accompanied by an ochre jumper in supple woollen material striped in diagonal design in brown, fawn and white. A dark brown tweed suit flecked with red and white had as contrast a stonecoloured kasha jumper. Beige, red, yellow and black stripes adorned a grey-beige wool jumper worn with a red skirt, a long red coat and a red hat. A brown velvet suit had a kasha jumper striped with brown, orange and white. The coat was trimmed with brown fur exactly to match. A beige tweed coat lined with kasha in cornflower blue was worn over a kasha frock of the same colour and with a blue hat to match. A grey-beige tweed coat heavily fringed on collar, sleeves and pockets was worn over a simple grey frock trimmed with fringe in a line from shoulder to hem on one side. KITCHEN EVENING (From Our Ov;n Correspondent) WAIUKU, Friday. A very pleasant evening was spent at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Eber Barriball, of Waiuku, on Wednesday evening, when a large number of friends attended a kitchen evening given in honour of Miss G. Kidd, who is to be married shortly. On behalf of the guests, Mr. O. Henry asked Mr. X. Ingram, the bride-groom-elect, in the absence of Miss Kidd to accept a splendid assortment of kitchen articles. Mr. Ingram, accompanied by his sister, then opened the parcels and thanked those present for their gifts. Unfortunately, Miss Kidd was absent owing to illness.
