Sore Throat?
Then Try Formamint
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, THUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13rs, 1918.
Sore Throat is so common in this climate that never to suffer from it, even during the worst seasoni of the year, would be an unique experience for most people. Yet this cu easily be accomplished; as an emi nent physician has proved.
I have never had a Sore Throat myself since 7 be gan to use Formamint Tablets, he writes in the "Practitioner" för Decem-

Everyone who uses Formamiat ay 'cnjoy the same immunity, not merely from Sore Throat, but also from Tonsillitis, and these grave infectious diseases like Diphtheria, Consumption; Scarlet Fever, Measles, Mutups, etc., many of which invariably begin with Sore Throut.
:
All such diseases are contracted through inhaling germs which breed rapidly in the mouth and throat. A Formamint Tablet, dis- solved in the mouth, instintly destroys these germs.

DRESS FOR THE COMING COUNTS. Now that Courts are fixed for February 7th and 21st, the milliners will be quite busy in preparing lovely gowns in spring- like schemes of colour. The new brocades for this season are more beautiful even than those of last year. One of these is in heliotrope and pals crocus-yellow, shot with gold. It is to compose & Court
Kown to:bo worn on the 7th. The skirt is almost impossible to describe, as it consists of three different lengths, folding over each other in a clever fashion, and each ending in a point at the fret Much diamanté gold tulle is draped about the neck and arms, and also fernus a long, straight breadth in front, caught in at the waist with one of the jewelled butterflies that are so popular just now. The train to be worn with this is made entirely of pale crocus-coloured sinon embroidered with diamanté, and lined with the very softest silk in the sanie tmb of gold ay in the brocale. A great sheaf of lilac, white and coloured, is to be laid on one point of this train, the flowers made in the very lightest materials so as not to injure the delicnte fabric of the train itself. Ainethysts and diamonds are the jewels to be worn.

OF COATS AND TAILOR SUITS.. One of the most fashionable material this spring is brocaded velvet, used for both coats and tailored suits. Being at the tip-top of the mode it is rather expen sive, but there is small doubt that less costly imitations will shortly, be on the market. More attention is being paid just now to the everyday knock-about hardwear suits in tweeds or frieze or rating Invariably these have quite short skirts, tight round the kips, but sometimes provided with a panel at the back, like those of last autumn. Elderly women insist their skirts being made fuller than those favoured by young folk, and. tailors have all express models for the wear of women who have reached or passed middle age. They do not say this. to their customers, as nowadays, when everyone is supposed to continue young even up to sixty or seventy, there is great delicacy felt about even mentioning the words middle-aged or elderly, whereas the courteous man of cloth never dreains uttering the word cld. So very sensi- tite are we nowadays..

WHERE IS THE VANISHED WAIKT? Whore are women's waists! One has to go to the very tip-top stratum of society the Queen and the Royal family-or, to such lower grades as that to which the parlour-maid, the shop assistant, the Jaundury-woman belong, in order to see a normal feminine waist.. In all other classes it is hidden by the shapeless gown which Fashion forces upon the world just now. Just a few women of the well- dressed section of society wear their waists where Nature places them, and in view of the admiration they excite it is difficult to imagine why others do not follow their example. It is whispered in Paris that a change will shortly occur in this matter, well-known but on the other band a French house in Londen is making gowns more meagre and exiguous than ever, so much so that the skirts haye to be drawn on over the feet, there not being sufficient width in them to pass the shoulderd. And what about the hips? someone may ask. But hips have long disappeared from the fashionable world. How it was managed it would be very difficult to say, but cer- tain it is that they have been pruned away in the most miraculous manner. One is reminded of the American girl who, on being asked how she managed to reduce the dimensions of her frame in this par- "A woman must be a ticular, replied: fool if she can't think away superabua- dant flesh. This plan would require great concentration of thought and will, and even they might be ineffectual with out the aid of rigorous self-denial in food and total abstinence from the candy beloved of our American cousins; the chocolate crean so freely indulged in by our girls at home.

EVENING GOWN.
It has been noticed by visitors to the Royal Academy that the Greek and Egyp tian dresses shown in Alma-Tadema's pictures have a very strong resemblance to the evening dress of our own day. It is true that in many of these latter the classir ideal is aimed at, and the corset. referred to in last Thursday's Globe favours this resemblance;
of even- tight sleeve. As for the; also the plain, ing gowns, the majority are made of satin almost invariably veiled with ninon in often and. some contrasting colour, trimmed with bugies, beads and fringes of the same. Many of them are finished at the waist with a large and beautifully made rose, the petals consisting of deli cately-coloured satin folded eleverly into the shape of the queen of flowers. Some of the evening gowns are caught in below the knees, and. it has heen found possible to dance, and dance very cleverly, in one of these. One cannot imagine how this. is managed, but what will not girls man- age who are enthusiastic tu live up to the
