And the story of the lovely Kocho is the basis of 1 famous play. Briefly, Kocho kills herself because of false accusations. Her lover seeks to discover the cause of ber death. Eventually a treasured hair ornament belonging to the dead girl turns into a butterfly and leads him to the hiding-place of the villain who had sought to separate them.

The quilted taffetas are especial- ly interesting. They fall in heavy. sculptural folds, without being cumbersome. Soze are visibly gailted im outline embroidery stitch to give them an irregularly ruffled surface. Others are em~. bossed in regular diamond-stud designs. The frock of one spe cessful evening ensembles is bout- fant and in palest water-lly pink quilted taffeta.

It is in accessories that the most starting colours are noted. "Yellows clamour for attention in hats, Scarves and even gloves.. Here and there is a touch of lavender. Pink is also →in frequent evidence in hats and
neckwear.
And now that the sweet smell of budding trees and shrubs is in the air, golf clubs and tennis racquets need looking over, and the urre for sports togs must be satisfied.
There is something fresh as paint in golf dresses-a dress built at the dictates of a famous golf star with the sleeves 30 con- structed that the arms have M fine freedom of action, with. 10 under-the-arm seams to bind them.
