THE NEW COURT BULES,
THE HONGKONG DAILY ARESE, THURSDAY APRIL 115, 1914
The new regulations for the Courts show that the Queen is far from favouring the eccentricities of dress in which some of the smart folk have recently indulged. "It seems at last year's Courts Her Majesty was scandalised by the shortness and tightness of the "petticoat," otherwise dress, in which some of the débutantes,

The train proper is also shortened and widened by these regula tions. Influence from headquarters is therefore apparently on the side of com- moneense and at the same time against dowdiness.

Very smart, indeed, were some of the costumes seen at last Saturday's private views at picture galleries One little lady wore a sheath gown of black satin and a Victorian coal scuttle hat of the same material covered with alternate rows of gathered white Valenciennes and black feather trimming.

The immense cerise straw hat was lined with black velvet, and turned sharp- ly up in front, the rest of the trimming consisting of cerise and black feathers. A short coat in sealskin, or one of its clever imitatione, opened in front. to show a cerise silk vest trimmed with ballons to the number of possibly two hundred, and fastened down the front with larger black ones.
ROCENTRICITY IN HATS, AN More eccentric than ever are the shapes of hats, but, one is pleased to record, they are much more becoming, being caught up into curves to auit the characteristics of the wearer. Nor is the hair entirely hidden as it was in the case of many of the huge hats of a year ago. An extremely charming example is one made of canvas in pale khaki colour lined with black natin. The brita is turned up exactly in the centre of the front, again sideways at the back, while it forms a deep curve downwards over the left ear. The crown is almost covered with dog:roses and, violets. Coloured straws are used in tints more artistic than have ever been aecn before. A Dunstable in deep violet is so flexible that the curves can easily be made at the will of the purchaser, when she gets the hat home,
