Or, if sackcloth and window cord- ing is too drab for you, there is oil- cloth. Among the gowns that must have been inspired by insects are sports suits of wasp striped in mus tard and brown, with tight-fitting waistcoats of black lacquered ribbed silk.
There are evening gowns of cire net and chiffon in iridescent blues and greens which owe their inspira- tion to tropical insects.

Chile Goes Off Petrol
All Vehicles To
Use Gas.
Chile has gone off petrol and is now on gas, says Reuter's correspon- dent at Santiago de Chile. On all hands private and public vehicles are being equipped with the gaso- gene apparatus, ugly and cumber-| some but practical, which enables cars to run on gas derived from charcoal fuel.
The change has been brought about by the inability to obtain] patrol. The foreign oll companies | refused to give further credit, the Government insisted that foreign exchange must be used for vital pur- chases, and a petrol rationing. ByB-| tem failed.
Legislation has been drafted by the Government to ensure the sys- tematic transformation of the coun- try's motor transport to gas power. It is stated that the average trans- formation costs £15, and that · ruri- ning costs are lower than those of a petrol engine, but that high speed is difficult to obtain...
A British factory has been started Santiago which copes with a dozen "conversions" daily. Gas is already being largely used for motor-lorries and it is a familiar sight to sea lorries on the hilly highways with their huge fuel receptacle on top or at the rear and an emergency asck of charcoal by the driver's seat.
The changeover of buses to the new system will be expedited by a |law obliging the Installation of gaso- genes on twenty 'buses a week. All Interests are at the moment coD- centrating on an improved installa tion for private cars to overcome the private owner's resentment to the change.
