My Lady in London

OVEL necklaces are always sought by women who prefer unusual jewellery, and trinkets answering to this description are composed of small pieces of glass cut to resemble leaves or flowers and strung at intervals on heayy silk cords. One necklace is made of Lalique glass in a dark sea green, cut to resemble ivy leaves, and strung: on silk to match. This glass can be made into necklets and bracelets of flowers and leaves, to suit any particular toilette. e * * Black chiffon dinner frocks, which are suitable for so many informai occasions, are being made with swathed beits, which have the ends weighted with embroidery in brightly-coloured wools. The wool flowers are worked on to a background of white Angora wool, which is brushed to its fluffiest state, and the same decoration appears on the triangular scarf, which is still a fashionable accompaniment to semieyening gowns.

BLACK satin is used to make a smart hat suitable for afternoon wear. The crown is made from strips of the satin sewn to give a latticed effect, and the brim is cut in an original manner, very narrow at one side, with a deep point at the other, giving the wearer a rather rakish appearance. x * ote "HOSE who are tired of floral buttonholes may follow a new fashion by wearing a tassel in silk or wool, or strands of material, in the lapel of their coat or jumper. ‘The tassel is designed to match the ensemble it accompanies, and, if the toilette is of silk, the tassel is made of small strips of silk bound with material to match. * x * A QUAMARINE blue promises to be one of the most popular colours for next autumn’s evening gowns. The Queen’s gown for the Royal Garden Party was made in this lovely subtle shade, and probably this has something to do with its sudden popularity. The newest silk curtains have also appeared in this unusual bluegreen tone, and look particularly well in a heavy silk, with a slub weave. A belt which holds a pouched sweater, or blouse, firmly in position, and is never likely to slip out of place, is made from thin gold discs, closely sewn, like the scales of a fish, to the background of thick elastic. As the pelt stretches, the scales move farther apart. and the elastie ensures a perfect fit. The buckle is of beaten gold, and the belt makes a practical finish to many toilettes.
