The Sea Captain's Shop has a very great deal to say when it comes to suggestions for parting presents. Its lingerie is, of course, divine, and here there is a special night-dress of absolutely new sign and cut with the most exceptional cunning. Mrs. Tornroth made me promise not to divulge the name that they have given to it in Paris, whence it hails!
The wonder of the a Cuptain's shop its prices. Go and see the long redingotes in gorgeous old Chinese brocades, scarlets and greens. Ask the price of them and feel faint Then there are the Chinese exquisite modern evening gowns—what a present for a graceful woman, and they begin at $18! The loveliest jewell and bags are here too. See the' babies' first rompers and Ada Lum's exclusive-design patchwork beach cushions with their wonderfully drawn Chinese figures—100 adorable, and the price is a flick of the Angers.
As becomes a Sea Captain's shop, men are provided for. There are wonderfully practical Shantung coats with properly cut and set-in sleeves—they could be used for motoring in òn a hot day. Sets of Shantung pyjamas are good. Brocaded silks are lovelier—and specially noteworthy is the 8-horses design for anyone sportingly inclined. But if you want to definitely add to the joy of life, give him a coloured brocaded silk and wool tuxedo (anglice dinner jacket) designed by Sulka of Paris, London and New York—the men's Paquin. Beau Brummel—we are here!
