THE STUDIO “THE STUDIO” SERVICE WITH the object of increasing its service to its readers at home and abroad, THE STUDIO is inaugurating a shopping service department, of which it has appointed Miss Marion Reynolds, the Manageress. Month by month it will illustrate in these pages articles in constant demand. Any of these articles, or of those illustrated in the advertisement columns, Miss Reynolds will be pleased to buy for subscribers, without extra charge, on receipt of money order and full name and address. Money orders should include cost of postage, and insurance, if the latter is desired. Cheques and money orders should be made payable to The Studio Limited. (Above) An example of the popular “shawl coat.” It is light, warm and soft, and made in delightful colourings. The one illustrated is named “Humming Bird,” and is carried out in lovely shades of blue, green and mauve. Price 7 guineas. (Right) Soft leather slippers of Indian red, lined with cosy white fleece. Sizes for all ages; prices from 4s. 11d. to 8s. 11d. They are ideal for travelling, and take a long time to wear out. Below are three attractive gifts, either for one’s friends or oneself. the Swedish bowl is 5s. 6d.—the striped jar for chocolates can also be used as a powder box, and costs 6s. 6d.—and the painted glass jar is for bath salts, price 7s. 6d. (Above) A new portable gramophone, light in weight, and covered in black leather waterproof cloth. Six records can be carried in the lid, and there is also a special needle container and other “gadgets.” The price is £6 10s. Above is a suède leather tobacco pouch, with an ingenious but simple opening; one pull and it opens, another pull and it shuts. Price 14s. 6d. postage 6d. I can highly recommend both these baskets; the plate basket on the left is made of split white cane and lined green baize, price 9s.; and the shopping basket on the right is a new shape so as to be easier for carrying, price 3s. 6d. Both are exceptionally strong and are made by blind workers. Several other sizes of each can be had. AD. VIII

THE STUDIO (Below) A Japanese dwarf tree looks delightful in almost any interior, and is a great help to a room in winter, when flowers are dear and not always to be got. Price of this one 15 guineas; others from £3 15s. The razor illustrated above solves the eternal problem of a useful present for male belongings. Among its other advantages is the fact that it has a permanent hollow-ground blade, guaranteed for five years, and is self-stopping and honing. Always ready for use, and packs up conveniently. The price is 30s. postage 6d. A self-filling fountain pen of black vulcanite, with a gold nib; this would be a welcome present to any boy or girl returning to school after the summer holidays. The one I have is that rare thing, a really satisfactory pen, and the price is only 3s., postage 1½d. (Above) For the reasonable price of 2 guineas (special finish), 32s. 6d. (ordinary finish), this Windsor chair is a fine reproduction, in birch wood, of an old pattern. The footsooel, covered with hard-wearing material in lovely colourings, is 15s. With the approach of Autumn every woman must have a new felt hat, and most of us an umbrella as well. The illustration shows a becoming light felt hat, which is made in many good colours and several sizes, 25s. 9d., postage 6d. The stump umbrella is silk, with an attractive tassel, and in addition etc being fashionable can be packed in one's suit case. (Above) Three gold-tooled spectacle cases, capable of holding the largest of modern tortoiseshell glasses, price 10s. each, postage 6d. Smaller ones for eye-glasses can also be had. (Above) A solid silver engine turned cigarette case, made to hold six cigarettes, and attached to a silk cord for wearing on the wrist (or with a longer one for wearing round the neck). This solves the cigarette case difficulty for the pocketless, and is becoming as well as practical. Price 1 guinea, postage 6d., or the same thing in gold, 5 guineas. (Above) A charming example of porcelain under-glaze is this figure of a fox terrier, gin. long. The price is 4 guineas.
