Fashion Notes

Fashion Notes.

Shoes in blues—charming! Whether of glace, smartly stitched for wear with a suit, or something sturdy of the tyrolean or ghillie variety. One pair in blue suede, sensibly heeled and toed, sported flapping fringed tongues. I fell in love with them—but not for golf, as advertised. The removal of mud would be too terrible a task. We shall have to keep our shoes in blues for town occasions.

In the matter of making undies—usually one of our spring tasks—the shops seem better stocked than usual. Charming silks and lingerie fabrics in all prices are enticing. So are the laces. Nightie-tops in filmy grey or coffee-coloured lace, tops for slips with the lace dipping in a curve or point at the front, silks and satins appliqued on fine double net and looking like the most delicate of hand work, marvellous laces combined with silk with vandyked or scalloped edges, narrow silk lace in charming patterns for edgings. Choose your pattern, buy a wisp of silk and a length of lace and—hey, presto! here is your French handmade lingerie, or so it seems.

And at the lace counter you will perhaps see the new stiffened veils. They are charming, worn with a straw cloche for cocktail teas. I was fascinated by a round veil in fine black net threaded in a simple design of black and gold.
