- SNEAHING SKUFF SEEN IN ENGLAND Even Society People Do It— Fashion Notes Two new colors are being featured in Mayfair, and its neighbors, the Royal Borough of Kensington. One iIs “caviare” which {s exactly the gray-black its name suggests, and the other is *cassis,” a purplish black currant shade. Tortoise Shell Accessories The Queen of Spain appeared at a party smoking slender cigarettes held in a tortoise shell holder. In a | few days the vogue was copied by many English soclety women. fact, there is quite a rage for tor- tolse shell accessories for milady, dressing table sets to small orna- ments for the clothing. Sneaking Their Snuff Snuft taking is again popular in English society, although it has not yet reached the open-and-above- board stage.” “Persons of a high so- clal standing are now our most regular customers,” said the man- ager of a West End snuff manufac- turing firm. “They are still shy of performing in public but very soon some strong-minded person of note will flaunt his snuff box in his club.” Seen in London Soclety The Princess Beatrice at a wed- ding wearing deep violet with a chinchilla collar ‘and barrel muff— At a reception, Lady Lansdowne wearing pale gray with violets in her hat—In a theater audience, Mrs. Godfrey Tearle, wife of the actor, wearing a lovely ivory brocade cloak trimmed with white fox — Miss Myrtle Atherly, a bride, wearing an old English gown of white and silver brocade, with very wide sleeves trimmed with diamente. Elizabethan Frills The Elizabethan influence on modern English fashions is empha- sized by Pierrot frills on the new winter frocks. Short haid is believed responsible for the vogue for neck ornamentation. It is exemplified by high collars finished with bows or by collars made of strings around the neck. The tulle bow has come in again on a gigantic scale. With light dresses a black velvet band is worn around the neck and s finsh- cd off at the side-back by an im- mense bow of tulle. The black band must fit closely around the neck in Increasing Power: Last year Grant Buyers were supplying only eighty-some stores. This year over one hun- dred stores are distribut- ing Grant Values. This increase in buying power, running into hun- dreds of thousands of dollars, means even greater values for Grant cuséomers.
