"I am entirely my own now and use the material I obtain for the purpose of my lecture tours."

Mr. Holmes was for several years entirely responsible for the production of Paramount's week- ly news film and it is only lately that he gave that up in favour of his own work.. In the course of his hunts for film copy he came to Hongkong as early as 1899 and created a great deal of interest in that he was the first man to take a cinematograph film here. He was very proud of this achieve-.. ment, particularly in that the film was very much in the nature

there were also a few "creations"" in red-hats, not dresses-which resembled rosebuds against a drab background.
However, the majority of the ladies scorned Dr. Cantlie's height-giving advice. They preferred hata with crowns, with softening brims, extending' po further than the tip of a petite nose, and with gorgeous colour- ings. Others wore lettuce and lily-leaf shades which made the tennis stand resemble an animat- ed garden.
Dresses, on the whole were not inclined to be long, but their cut invariably, set out graceful figures. when the folds were fondled by the wind. Sleeves varied between the short and the no sleeve at all.
A few of the ladies carried Japanese sunshades or dainty parasols which when opened add- ed to the kaleidoscopic effect and, from a more practical point of view, served as a compromise between accepting or refusing Sir| James Cantlie's advice.

She claims that the OO bobbed-hair craze started in the Model Settlement and that when she arrived there two years ago, every other woman was wearing a shingle or a King Tut
Miss Holden, is also quoted by "the "China Fress" as having given credit to the European ladies of Shanghai for being the leaders of fashion and elegance, rather than their Chinese sisters, but she suggests: the Western women get their inspiration from the age old styles of the Orient and adapt them to Occidental ideas.
"In 'time Chinese girls will dis- card trousers for European dress," Miss Holden predicts, but! it has been obvious even to Hong- kong that China's young woman- hood has adopted the skirt for years and that the trousers have almost entirely lost favour with the younger set.
To Shanghai, however, belongs the honour of having set the lead in Chinese fashions at least since the Revolution.
