THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH, 1910,
CERATION OF WONDER. The details of this remarkable dress must not be given. They are Mme. Lusile's secret for the abile, but something may be said of the general impression the gown created. It was, It as a matter of fact, all in bits and pleoss. was hung on to the model who wore it by pins and stray stiteles, and yet the general effect rabbed one of one's breath,
suited to a quaint pisos. Parls heard that I had designed them, and many people coins over from Paris to see them, with the result that there was placed on the streets what was only intended for a theatre.
"And here let me say that a really beautiful gown should be only worn by really beautiful people.

It has been decreed that women of fashion are to be attired in naw garb. Women with real sonis for drsus are to be clothed as was Ashoo, who looked out of her lattice on Jelum River, or that mysterious Thon who sang boside the amorous Omar in the Persian wilderness. Lucile has decreed it.

She was passing through the Japanese Exhibi- tion when she happened on a litile shop which was stocked with Eastern robes and Eastern carpets. She paused and there ross-bofors her a vision of the East a vision in which thers passed to and fro wowen, graceful and molest and womanly.
In her vision Mme. Lucile behold woon who were clad with simplicity-that was in itself an
the street in plain purple cloth. Bhe wore, to all intents and purposes, what was a coat and a skirt, Eat the seat and skirt combined con reyed the impression that she had simply been swathed in some soft and delicate rabe.
A little touch of Mme. Lucile's hand and the whole of the outer garment fell away, and the girl then stood forth in a purple garment which might have been the shroud of some mummy, lightened by all the grace of Greece and all the chic of Paris.
Thon Mme Lucile restored the cost and skirt, which were out like a coat and skirt, and yet seemed to be but a wrapping. Round the collar of the coat, and as a chomisette, was embroidery, worked in the startting, almost crude colours which one can see alone in Moscow, which is the border Bao between East and West.
"You see the idea?" asked Mme. Lucile, as

And the paradoxical part of it is that you can be quite beautiful even though you are plain so long as you are slim. Stont people and middle-aged people should give up the hopeless task of attempting to compete with women who are really beautiful.
*Stout and middle-aged women should never be dressed in the boight of fashion. They should ercate fashions of their own which suit them selves. Then they can be always attractive and charming. For myself, I always work along
there lines,"
Bat, oh, oried Madame, throwing wide her arms in au ecstasy, what a delight it is to be able to dress a really perfect creature. Then one can do anything. No dress can make a akin to her nature and her features and her really beautiful woman ugly, and a dress that is lines can double her beauty."
Mine, Lucile turned away and thoughtfully picked up some stray odds and ends of chiffon and silk. And in five minutes--quite lost to the world in her dreams of dross-she had
