By the kindness of the Madame Kate Glace, of 73 Ebury Street, S.W., Tam enabled to supply your lady readers with sane notes on the toilettes displayed at the salon on varnishing day. 'The general effect was very sombre, in consi quence of the cold weather, the salon Jia month earlier' than usual, the exhibition. Many people were obliged to cover their light frocks with long flowing cloaks and furs. The tendency in dresses seemed to be toward: mauve and pastel-coloured cloths, pli skirts and bodices, the bolero bein indisponsible. A few smart people came in foulards, which wou'd appear to he as popular as ever. Hats hada tendency to flatness and to turn up at one side, but they were lighter than the dresses. They were mostly of lace straw over chiffon or tulle, with large bunches of gauze flowers or fancy wings. 'They were worn tilted over arranged lower at the back. Sequins still the nose, and the hair was consequent held their own on toques. One of the prettiest dresses was in white crepe de ne, with ecru lace guipures, the bodice made' with a bolero from the. neck-band—oue of the few distinctly new features. A white chiffon scarf tied in a bow between the shoulders and coming down to the waist in front formed a pretty finish toa chie toilette. Another notice able one was a pale blue embroidered bolers over a black dress. Two girls, one cloth skirts and boleros. stitched all over, in white and one in pale blue, wore pastel
with hats in chiffon to match. A very smart dress was in black and white shepherd's plaid, trimmed with narrow black velvet, which formed vandykes on each of the shaped flounces on the skirt and also outlined the revers. With this were worn a white chiffon cravat and a coquelicot tulle hat, very much turned up at one side, with a large poppy nestling in a big dip in front. One of the prettiest hats was in deep fawn straw, lined with pale blue chiffon, with a pale blue quill coming out from under each of the three brims.
