Milkmaid 
Skirts 
The Ideal Garden 
Smock 
(Continued /rum jhkjc 44) 
Many women have a considerable nura 
ber of blouses slightly the worse for wear 
yet hardly bad enough to be abandoned. 
They and very many others will acclaim the milkmaid skirt. 
This most original creation has roused an absolute furore, 
the milkers having all they can do to keep pace with orders. 
The skirt— full and very graceful — is put on to a corselet 
bodice laced across with black or some contrasting colour. 
There are no slee%'es nor indeed any top i)art, a strap going 
over cither shoulder and keeping the whole thing up. This 
fascinating model is being made in all sorts of different fabrics, 
but for summer days some most attractive thick flax linen 
is unsurpassed. In this it costs three and a half guineas and 
is? 'worth it. Another delightful medium is French cotton 
canvas, most of which boast a quaint ringed pattern, while 1 
all kinds of odd lengths of cretonnes and crepons are being j 
made up with brilliant consequences. 
The Milkmaid Skirt also appears in stockinette, checks, 
navy, black or cream serge, and it is quite charming in soft 
satin. In this last guise, worn over a little blouse of chiffon 
or georgette, it makes just the right kind. of evening frock for 
an hotel— never an easy tiling to find. ,j 
Very novel and absolutely practical is 
new kind of garden smock, though indeed \ 
to be strictly accurate it is more a cross 
between an overall and garden apron than anything else. It 
is sleeveless, but covers the rest of the bodice and most if not 
all the skirt completely. It belts neatly round the waist, and 
a great part of the front of the skirt is taken up with a very 
capacious double pocket. 
No words can tell the value of this pocket to the amateur 
gardener. In it all kinds of garden etceteras can be kept, 
and what is more never mislaid. This garden smock is 
utilitarian from beginning to end. No suspicion of fancy dress 
lurks here. It is a workmanlike garment destined for a hard 
working wearer, and a tremendous comfort it will prove to her. 
It is made" of strong jean, a remarkably durable material, 
and is kept in navy, brown, or drab. The price is 9s. iid. 
At this time of year ifght weight garments 
Featherweight ^^c metaphorically speaking worth their 
Sports Coats ^^^^^^^^ j^ ^^j^j ^^^^ ^^^^:^^^ jig|,t 
weight sports coats of alpaca lace wool well deserve praise 
not -only on account of their lightness but because they are also 
quite charming. • 
Tliey are made in white and coloured stripes, and have 
white collars, sashes and facings. Some of the colourings are 
H5Vely. A Royal blue and white appeals, so does a cherry 
and white, whilst other stripings are sky, brown and purple. 
When packed, these golf coats go practically into nothing— 
in spite of this, however, they are very fairly warm, and worn 
over a light summer frock give quite ah jidditional covering. 
Their price is 59s. 6d. and that they'^an be repeated once 
the present stock is CKhausted is problematical —anyhow at 
that figure. 
The proper choice of soap in a household 
is of first rate importance. It is essen- 
tial it should be as pure as possible, and 
this without doubt explains the immense popularity of some 
special Castile soap. The peojile selling it have had it imported 
to them from the olive oil fields in France. It is free from 
alkali or colouring matter, and has absolutely no scent— a 
point appealing with special force to many folk. 
The ingredients are such as to make it a delightful soap for 
people with sensitive skins. For this reason also it is a most 
refreshing summer time soap. 
,Thosc who once use this soap arc.channed whli it and con- 
tiniic doing so. If is i)ut up in one i)ound blocks and seven 
pound bars, and' costs elevenpnce a pound. Special prices 
are quoted for quantities of fourteea pounds, and upwards. 
Puff pots of Italian marble in exquisite 
Po-s from colours are dainty trifles worth buying 
V V*'^ while the supply lasts. These come 
fromltaly, and once those now in this "country are sold cannot' 
be repeated, their irnport being forbidden. 
A puff pot suchas anyone of these maj^ a fascmatiiig and 
also a very interesting present. Italian marble is aiascinating 
thing, as those already acquainted with it know. It is cool 
looking, very decorative, and gives a pretty note of colour 
to any dressing table. The .putf pots to be seen here arc in 
many different shapes and various colours, pale pink, golden 
amber colour, a warm shade of rose, mauve, and a particularly 
translucent tone of green may all be found. 
The price of any variety is not excessive, ranging from 
2s. up to 5s. 6d. only. Passe Partoit
