Mere men always tell me that there are no "interesting fashions in Hongkong that there is nothing new and that the only fashionable dresses are worn by tourists or passengers of the boats. There may be a grain of truth in this statement but I saw last week an outst that certainly belongs to the latest fashion stage. It is the long jacket or coat that comes down to one's knees and

The famous gingham, at one time used only for kitchen aprons and housedresses, is a very suitable material for children's clothes. It can easily be embroidered with a few cross-stitches that take little time and have a splendid effect. Dresses of this material lock always fresh and are excellent for play:
Another excellent material. although there seems to be little in the Colony just now, is voile. It hardly shows wrinkles and does not show dust as other material does. It is easily washed in lukewarm water after being soaked for a while,

Rouges and Colour Schemes.
We have all probably noticed that more rouge and lipstick are required with cer tair colours than with others.

Blue and white require very little; the brown,
When yellow and orchid "shades more. Wearing a rose-red frock, orange rouge should not be used. A rose lipstick with hanna will look purple.
Green requires less rouge than any other colour. With white the make-up should be very subtle. If natural colour is unbecomingly lacking in the skin it may be supplied by a healthy glow of rouge, suggested rather than" too insistently de fined.
Make-up around the eyes does not look well in the day-time. It is too artificial. There may be exceptions of course bus it is usually beneficial to do without mascars or the eye pencil until evening. Hair Treatment,

COOKING RECIPE.
Seef Stew.
Two pounds of beef is put on to boil in cold water. Season with salt and pepper. One hour before meal put into kettle three potatoes, two onions, two carrots pus ir pieces. Make dumplings-one cup of water, one teaspoonful of salt, four to make stiff batter with a teaspoonful of baking powder to each cup 'cf four. Two cups should make the batter stiff enough. Heinove meat from kettle to, make more room and drop batter Mem spoon into stew. Boil steadily for ten or twelve minutes according to size of dum- plings.
Marks on Ivory Dressing-Table Sets.
The best way to remove marks on dress-, jag table sets is to rub them with a little furniture cream on a clean rng, and polish with a dry duster. When washing ivory- backed brushes, always use a cool lather and never dry by a hot fire or pipes, aš over-heating causes the ivory to crack To Polish Tortoise-Shell.
Use soft green soap and Frenca chalk, rubbing vigorously and firmly for some time. If you do not get a good result at odice, repeat the process.

Sprinkle flowers of sulphur on shelves or in cupboards where ants are trouble- some and they will disappear.
