HIS BLOOD REVEALED EHEUMATISM TO BE THE CAUSE OF SENHOR ROMERO'S PAING,
BUT ALL REMEDIES FAILED TO ELIMINATE
THE TROUBLE UNTIL IT
DB.
Was Dispelled Br WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS.
To the experienced eye of the skilful physician a drop of blood reveals socrets of the utmost value; in the case of Senhor Jusquin Romero, for instance, the blood test clearly brought to light the cause of the pains which had been making his life wretched for years. Sr. Romero, who holds the responsible position of Head Saperintendent in the Manila Befining Co. Manila, thus explains the circumstances,
The
origin
of the trouble dates back ton yesre, ho Buil, "for then pains in
my chest drst evinced themselves and my nervous system became impaired. Nothing I took
relief, on afforded me permanent
the contrary my joints gradually stiffened until I could hardly wove them, my flesh became awollen and inflated, and a dull throbbing pain traversed my body with an awful persistence which made life a round of misery.
After testing my blood a doctor diagnosed my case as one of sonte Rheumatism. He and that my ill-health was sololy clue to the impoverished condition of my blood, But despite may faithful perseverance with the medicine prescribed I suffered nontinually from those Rheumatics for eight years, which so incapacitated me that it wasonly during the dry
weather that I could do a little work,

FASHIONS AND PANCIES.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, MARCH 28xD, 1919
GOWNS UP-TO-DATE Paris is at this moment revelling in the Extremes of colour and style. A few early models of gowns are truly startling in effect, and are scarcely likely to appeal to the taste of Englishwomen. But it is certain that it will be a season of conspiepe ous dress, conspicuous by reason of the brilliant colours worn and their combina tions. An evening gown of black and gold brocade has a deep tunic of dead white satin, festooned from the knees to the hem with parple roses and green leaves, caught up at intervals with bunches of the roses, The dress is straight in effect, but the black and gold brocade under-dreas flows out at the feet. And that is a striking note of the newest gowns; they are fuller, and ruched or flounced at the hem. Kilting.is ubiqui tons Little old-world taffetas frocks, in delicately shot colours-mauve with pale blue, grey and pink short-waisted narrow skirted are ruched at the heal, at the elbows, and about the These are suddenly popular, but it may readily be supposed that their glory will quickly wane.
AN AFTERNOON COSTUME.
bodice.
A very charming afternoon gown, worn recently by a well-known society beauty, was of dull saxe-blue cloth, with a corselat skirt, the little blouse being of cherry- coloured satin veiled in smoke-grey ninon. The neck was collarless and finished off with a tiny turn-over kilt, cherry-colour.

were ødged with a narrow border of skunk, and the skirt had an apron effect of saxe-blue macramé lace over cherry, colour satio. There was a close row of little buttons and loops all down one side of the skirt that could be undone to dis close a peep of cherry-colour, and the back, of the dress was a panel of the blue lace over cherry-colour.
COURT TRAINS AND GOWNS.
The question of trains-in view of the coming Courts is at the moment full of interest: the tapering train, having had designs, and the eccentricities of present avogue, is likely to give place to new modes suggest gorgeous possibilities. However, Oriental promisings may finally Bise way to softer and more reasonable achievements, and lace over ninon, and broché velvet ninon, and such filmy effects, will find more favour, maybe, at the present Courts,
MILLINERY OF THE MOMENT.
Have the bewildering changes of wea. ther any connection with the modern vagaries of fashion For every mood, for every occasion, and for every sort of wen- ther, there were different shapes and ut- terly different effects. Taffetas and a perfect riot of colour are the chief fen- tures of the newest millinery. It is impos- sible to prophesy whether the large or small hat will predominate. Height is still very noticeable piled-up bows of tafletus of flowers upon the crown, and all shades of red and brilliant purple, are much used. Then also, very flat effects are achieved by a mere draping of taffetne, with no relief other than a nar row valvet brim of more or less brilliant colour. A large blue straw hat, with the brim colled up all round, had for ita nole trimming three owls' heads grouped tight- ly together, one emerald green, another. grey, and a white one, the bright brown eyes of these being very brilliant and effective.
SMALL HATS AND TOQUES.
A very small model was composed of an | emerald green linen crown, decorated in front with a design worked in yellow thread, a band of black taffetas going flatly round, and a narrow upturned brim of fine blue straw. Dainty spring flowers were massed high upon the crown of a pale blue straw hat-butter-cups, forget- ms-nota, pink rosebuds, and a tight cluster of purple pansies on the brim. Although the small turban shape, fitting tightly, and completely hiding the hair, is, in a new form, to be with us again very short- ly, it is at least a relief to know that for the present one may be completely smart in millinery that hides the hair or that turne back from the face, according to choice.
THE REVIVAL OF SPATS.
The smart woman, having run through all the variations of shoes and boots hitherto discovered, has taken to wearing spats, white champagne-colour-putty colour, and brown. In this rainy season there is much to be said for the wearing of spats. They keep the feet warm and dry But when they are themselves so delicate as to be made of white meda, it obvious that they are intended chiefly taken by leaning back in landaulettes or for the wear of people whose exercise is luxurious carriages. beneath the smart short skirt is very good. The effect of spats They have, of course, to fit very well, if they are not to make the feet look bulky, but when properly made they can even. lend slenderness to an arched instep. With the fashionable satin walking shoes dull spats of the same colour as the shoe are extremely effective.

MIXTURE OF MATERIALS,

It is curiously noticeable how fur is now mixed in with spring garh for day wear. The smartest of the new house frocks boast just a touch somewhere. bolero is by no means unknown, and in its latest styles finds itself, even though ethereal in texture, edged with fur. Fur also finishes off the short sleeve of a cloth gon, though nowhere else, seen on the costume. In other instances, with con- spicuous effect, it edges the panel at the back of one of the new shot taffetas frocks. Brocades, of the most handsome design and quality, and interwoven with gold and coloured metal threads, will go largely to create the Eastern effect that promises for the future, and, on the other hand, the simplest and softest materials will be adopted by wearers to whom thei Paritan style is more becoming Little dainty collarless frocks, with turned-over deep lace collars, are eminently smart, the Ince collars, however, striking a new note: These are no longer round, but fichur and cape-like in effect, Furniture brocade
veiled with ninon and chiffon is an old friend, but not yet despised, and fringe is another toilette asset still valuable and not yet stale.

THE COIFFURE QUESTION.
For evening wear huge tulle bows spread themselves smartly above the coif fare, or they may be worn with a jewelled, cap. These signify a return of pictur- esque head-dress, regardless of inconveni- ence to those sitting behind at opere or theatre. Then again, the nigrette or
brush," is distinctly smart worn at its now angle, that is, lying close to the ear, and standing out at the back as if on pur- pose to tickle the nose of the man walking closely behind. Among other revivals so noticeable at the moment is the old-time
collarette, Does anyone remember the collarette of years ago that had a lying- down frill, and another standing high in the neck? A model worn by an ultra- smart woman was composed of dark blue tulle kilted, over white net, with the up- standing Frill of the sams, and dividing of tiny pearls. It them, a "dog-collar is not the sort of trifle to suit the short- throated woman, but on the long and slender type it proves most becoming.— I AND Z in the Globe.
