A curved black patent leather belt about three inches wide that makes a most flattering line at the waist of your summer dresses. $29.95. Lilly Dache, 78 East 56th.

From Portugal, a white china bowl with green and brown stripes, about eight inches deep and shaped like a folding leaf. $12.50. Alice Marks, 9 West 57th.

A zippered black rayon moire case, lined with rubber, with fake tortoise fittings: a comb, a brush and a hand mirror that magnifies on one side. $4.50* Bergdorf Goodman.

For a modern table setting, a saltcellar and spoon in white porcelain. By Harold Sitterle (who has designed a matching-pepper mill), $3.00. Mayhew, 603 Madison Avenue. 


BAZAAR...

For men, the parent of all the modern moccasins, handmade by Norwegian craftsmen over American lasts, in fine leather with walrus soles and heels. $22.00. F. R. Tripler, 336 Madison Avenue.

From Italy, a white china bowl copied from the old wineglass coolers (the stems rested in the little slots along the rim). $10.00 Bergdorf Goodman.

Rolled English leather shoelaces-the only really appropriate laces for a good English walking shoe, but until now very hard to find. 25 cents a pair. Abercrombie and Fitch.

In clear Dutch glass, a tall, plump vase that can be used for long-stemmed flowers or to house a pair of goldfish. $16.00. Ovington’s, 666 Fifth Avenue.
