What winter has done with its tea and cakes and irresistible thick soups is your own secret under the comfortable shelter of fur coat and house jacket. It will remain your secret when you have to stand alone in the tailleurs of Spring if you visit Maison Arcus in Hamilton House and choose your Vassarette. They are showing the most excellent styles—one made for the figure which needs holding in, has special non-stretch areas. These areas will only stretch lengthways, thus holding rigidly in just the necessary places, the rest of the garment being softly pliable. Brassieres for the full figure of entirely new and most ingenious construction are waiting to give pleasure and a new appearance to their wearers. There are girdle pants with detachable suspenders, and for the warmer weather a new girdle with unrollable top, the material of which is practically transparent.

New bags mean new gloves and these are here too—washable for all their exiuéde softness, and in colours.
