CLICK CLACK CABARET A JAPANESE SETTING Softly-coloured spotlights threw into shadowy relief the new Japanese flower-garden effect in the ballroom at the Click Clack Cabaret on Saturday evening. Across the panelled walls trailed wistaria and cherry blossom, giving peeps of the quaintest little gardens and paper houses. Downstairs in the. lounge, vases of stately pink lilies and pink asters were used effectively for decorations and potted shrubs gave

a delightfully cool appearance to the room. Inuring the evening novelty favours were distributed and Mr. Thorpe, the new manager, left nothing undone that could add to the enjoyment of the dancers. Splendid music was supplied by George Shorland’s Orchestra, which was heard to advantage in all the latest and popular dance numbers.

GAIETY AT DIXIELAND ST. PATRICK’S NIGHT CELEBRATIONS Lights, colour, joyousness, syncopated strains of music, gaiety and laughter . . . all these combined to make the much-frequented Dixieland a brilliant scene on Saturday evening, when the St. Patrick's celebrations deservedly attracted an unusually larg£ attendance and led to an exceptionally bright night, further marked by the return of the popular Mr. N. Loveridge from holiday. The decorations were as successful as ever at this favourite dance rendezvous, and the novelties provided were thoroughly appreciated. No trouble had been spared by the management to make the evening the great success it was, and satisfaction must have been felt at the response to its efforts. Gowns under the brigtit lights added to the gaiety of the atmosphere, isequins, beads and the übiquitous diamente trimming being much in evidence., Beads are evidently to be much with us for future evening wear, and who can blame us for adopting them after a glimpse at their sparkling effectiveness?

CHARM OF THE FASHION PARADE “OUTSIZES” PROPERLY CATERED FOR Most women, after spending: an afternoon watching a fashion parade fo home fully convinced that there is no such thing as a definite fashion mode for any season! and not so much in the way of exclusive models have a purpose to fill —that of being different to every other garment. So, when there are many models shown, it is not easy to see with a clear eye what exactly “will” be worn. More Explicit Lately, however, fashion parades have been a little more explicit. They attempt to show the latest in styles, and not so much in the way of exclusive creations. At a recent parade in town three definite facts stood out: Firstly, whether frocks be long or short, as far as the slim girl is concerned, all smart gowns for the stout figure reach at least four inches below the knee. Not one displayed was knee length. Secondly, that tailored coats and skirts, worn with jumper blouses, will command a foremost place during the late autumn and winter months. And thirdly, that evening wraps, mostly of gleaming velvets, will put shawls in the second place of popularity. Majesty of Black There was no denying the majesty of black and silver evening gowns, and the ultra smartness of the black and White day ensembles. One frock, displayed perfectly by a tall, Eton-cropped girl, was of clinging draped chiffon, finished at the waist with a wide girdle of diamente, and splashed with brilliants on the bodice. This frock was made for the slim girl. Stout Ones Smiled One afternoon frock of beige crepede chine showed the value of a long flowing collar to the stout woman. Stout women in the audience smiled with delight as the large mannequins representing the “out-sizer” showed that dignity, grace in clothes, and smartness are by no means limited to the woman who doesn’t turn the scales beyond eight stone. THE VERY LATEST IN COLLARS THE BUTTERFLY AND HUGE BOLSTER A great deal depends upon a collar to give either a frock or coat a smart finish. Attention for a long time has been directed on hem-lines, the much-dis-cussed waist, and the shape of sleeves. But never collars until now. The latest is the “butterfly" collar, which stands out on the shoulder like two wings, representing its namesake. This collar is best suited for a frock relying on severe lines for effect, and made with some stiff, silky material, such as taffeta. One model frock, featuring the “butterfly,” made of black taffeta, edged with mauve, is directed to be worn with one long ear-ring on the ear opposite the bow. The big bolster collar is made bigger than ever, particularly on evening wraps. One of beige pink velvet, to be bought for quite a small fortune, displays j baggy sleeves, made quite plainly. But the collar certainly makes up for that. The bolster of mink fur falls like a flare on to the hem-line, and is caught half-way with a long cluster of sparkling jewels.
