My Lady in London

N original dance frock seen recently shows how charming and distinctive a combination of grass green and black can be. The dress was composed of grass green chiffon with insertions of the same material in black, the wide hem of black terminating in a full ankle-length skirt. On the bodice was an arrangement of black chiffon applique to the green in a design of flowers and leaves, and embroidered with tiny green and black shot sequins. A°loose wrap of green with black flowers treated in the same way made a charming toilette for evening wear. a tt a HE square brocade wraps which have replaced evening cloaks or coats for late summer functions are no longer left entirely without trimming, but may have beads or sequins as decoration. A square of blue and silver brocade, with a geometrical pattern in darker blue, has the edges

of the figures outlined by a wide border of blue and silver beads. Another model with deep pink roses on a black and gold background has little groups of gold sequins in the centre of each flower. ok 7 * ELTS for woollen jumpers grow more and more elaborate, and fine beadwork is the latest medium for these attractive accessories. The most effective bead belts are made from tiny iridescent beads, worked in straight lines with a border and buckle of large stones to match, and these are worn with spun silk or fine wool sweaters. More practical belts for sports wear are made in closely knitted silk of several colours, the buckles being of plain steel. % BS * A LUXURIOUS bag for evening use is made from links of platinum set with small pearls, with a chain of pearls and platinum to form the handle. This has a mount of the same metal set with diamonds and pearls in a leaf design, and the lining is of supple white and silver brocade. A REVOLVING coffee table, complete with cups and coffee pots, is a useful addition to the household comforts, especially in flats where the service is limited. The silver tray is round and has a wooden pedestal, and the coffee pots and cream jugs are square, to match the little white cups and saucers, while the sugar basin, in silver, like the rest of the service, is also square.
