THE WEST END 
((Vj/i(iniirJ Iran ftiiji: iO.) " 
Slietland wool cardigan, a scarf and cap combined protecting 
the most \ulni.'rable parts of head and neck, a pair of fleece 
wool gloves, and last, but by no means least, a pair of khaki 
wool knitted gloves. It is a convenient and quite light j)arcel 
to dispatch, and the astounding price for the whole concern 
is lOs. ()d. 
Such a chance as this does not happen every day, and 
few i)eople with friends and relations at the Front will let it 
slfj). Tlie cold weather problem is ever present with those 
left behind at home, and this set. of woollen garments will 
Iielj) many towards solving it in some degree and measure. 
For Winter 
Nights. 
Wonderful \alue is being gi\eu with 
some soft wool sleeping vests costmg 
the small sum of is. jid. No words 
can tell the comfort of these on a cold winter night when the 
temperature of a bedroom grows low. .\ great shortage of 
supply is threatened with all woollen garments as the days go 
on, and sleeping vests at this price may not be always available. 
It is a wise woman, therefore, who buys them while she can, 
and reaps full \'alue from their warm cosiness. 
There are also some real Shetland sleeping. vests, hailing 
straight from the Shetlands, and a foremost industry of the 
Isles. They are soft, fleecy, and surprisingly light and warm. 
The wool works out into a Vandyked edge and the price is 
2s. ii^d. . . •- 
In the same department are some most attractive cold 
weather nightgowns of delaine. Delaine is • an fdeal fabric 
in which to sleep, and these pretty models arc stocked in pale 
mauve, blue, blush pink or cream. They are of slip-on 
American shape with hemstitching bordering both neck and 
sleeves, and a daintily tied ribbon bow one side of the front. 
These nightgowns arc only 12s. lid., the- same charmingly 
simple model in Japanese silk costing a- shilling more, or 
19s. I id., when in crepe de chine. 
Latest Lamp 
Shades. 
Nothing could well be, prettier than the 
new lamp and candle .s'hades in one ot 
the cleverest Lamp Shade Departments 
m London. These are strikingly original and in the majority 
of cases are worked out from the firm's own designs. Novelty 
in artistic colouring and effect is the end aimed at, and this 
has been brilliantly achieved beyond any .shade of question.. 
At present attention may be drawn.to^sgme new shades 
specially designed to throw a soft, warm, becomingly rosy light 
on .table or room. Though. of rose pink tendency, they are 
a wHcome departure from that much-used hue.' Wine colour 
perhaps, better describes them than any other term. These 
lamp sliades are made iir e\ery conceivable shajjc for candle, 
oir lamp, or electric light fittings of any description. They 
are treated in many different ways with clever bead fringes 
and adroitly hand-painted borders, and are equally attractive 
in silk or parchment. 
Very original alstt are some silk " dishes " to go under 
electric light fittings from the ceilings of rooms. These are 
destined to take the place of the somewhat cold-looking 
alabaster or glass dish shades generally used for that purpose 
and are infinitely more attra.ctive. These, silk shades will be 
made to people's own requirements at very reasonable prices. 
(To he continued.) 
.- The small high hat . is already disappearing and in its 
stead has arrived the close-fitting cap with branching trimming 
of velvet or winged feather. These caps look much like an 
aeroplane in full flight, and if truth be told are particularly 
unsuited to nine English faces out of ten. It is only a very 
small minority who can stand the typically French hat well. 
Very pretty, and what is more, comparativelv ine.xpensive , 
arc the gigantic muffs of gathered velvet trimmed with narrow 
bands of fur. They generally form part of a set of three, con- 
sisting of tiny puckered collarette muff and small round hat. 
and the trio complete need not by any manner of means run 
into a ruinous figure. If the threatened shortage of furs 
occurs these velvet sets will very nearly fill their place. 
At the beginning of the season we were offered wide 
shoulder capes in this mixture of fur and \'elvct, but these 
never succeeded for a moment. Most women have fallen 
victims to the fascination of deep fur neck bands and these 
arc to be seen on dress and coat alike, so that not one inch of 
the throat is visible. Deep necklets of rich dark skunk arc, 
l)erliai)s, first favourite with those whose taste is vecogniicd.
