MADAME R. SARRAULT,
10, ICE HOUSE STREET, HONG KONG.
An interesting new collection of dresses. has just arrived chez Paneln. Most of them are of the smart afternoon type designed for the races, others are dinner or dagce frocks.

The lever use of reversible satin. insertions, antique jewellery and enriously eut drapery gives them charm and destination, and though at first sight the new models do not look very different from those created for last year, there are very wide differences when you see them side by side. Cut is everything, or nearly everything. to-day; and the apparently simple models are, when your come to examine then, put to gether like a jig saw puzzles. There was one little dance dres in. Grep claret shade of georgette, for instance. plain in cut but for the wing draperies and side flares. But thosi draperies are designed on the bias each one a different and quite indescribable shape when laid out Hat. The one which falls from the right shoulder is fastened behind ¦ the art hole and is very roughly! triangular in shape, its pair comes from the front exction of the left arm hole and is almost circular: ' The skirt airs reverse this process in a modified form.
Picture Frocks.

A simple model on the hecoming" picture lines has a talle skirt, mande in layers rather than frills, toning from pearl beige to dull" feuille mort attached to a pearl beige satio hodice. The skirt is cut very falt and rather as though it were in. Tended to cover a sun shade except that it is loager at the sides than nt "the back and front. A stronger note of colour is introduced, by a Bower in "pricòt and colours. A very short full picture frock of leaf green taffetas ia. Jengibened by na underdress of green and gold tissue, the effect is almost that of panniers. Round the waist is a girdle of smalt lowers made of the taffetas with gold centres. Pink georgette makes a very charming youthful frock with
long akira which is a
TASS of tiny frills, and silver ribbon girdlų, Satin And Lace In The Afternoon.
Among his very lovely dressos which Pamgia has already received for the race season there are several which show a clever combination of satin and lace. A smart model in which both sides of black satin are used with great effect has a panel of Paris-shade lace which runs up from the hem and is inserted about half-way down the bodice, below the surplice coliar. A very charm ing antique brilliant brooch fastens the waist.
CLOAKS, HATS AND
'FLOWERS.
The interest in danes frocks will soon be waning in favour of toilettes for the races: already the shop windows are blossoming out with bats, dresses, flowers and lovely cloaks on which we hope the sun will shine in Happy Valley. Mast of these delightful things are still on their long journey over the seas, but a few have arrived and look as flesh and uncrumpled as if Paris were in the New Territories.
Powell's have a few hats and coats which give one a glimpse of what is coming. The hats have, most of them, fairly wide and graceful brims ef lace or georgette and are trimmed with a large droop ing flower rather like those we wear on the hips of our dance, frocks.

Green georgette has a brim of gold lace and a large flower; fine black straw is completed with a black lace brim which is cut quite
close to the nape of the neck at the bark and has a suggestion of the poke bonnet in front. A very smart model in bois de rose straw is trimmed with a fat posy of pink and mauve flowers on either side of the gracefully drooping brim. A memory of several years ago in awakened by a green and beige georgette bait which has a long inating scuff of the green materini which can be wound round the neck or left to hang frea as you plense.
Satin Coats,
Another frock of brown satin hae a paste brooch set low down on the bodice. The material is trimmed with cleverly inserted pieces of the reverse side of the matin, and georgette and silk lore of a lighter tone are combined with it.

There is nothing fussy about it, nothing crude, and yet it is exceedingly smart.
A Complicated Skirt, Pearl beige, atin.is combined in another smart race dress with beige georgette of a slightly pinky tone, and silk lace which emphasises rather the yellow tones of the beige: a very clever combination which given warmth of tone which is lacking in so many beige gowna. The frock is of satin, the skirt being mostly lace but made in two thick. nesses, so that the upper ince van. dyke does not fall exactly over the under one. The under dress which shows in the front and at places through the luce is of pinky beige. A big brooch of gaid Toledo work puts a finishing touch at the waist. The effect of the skirt is unusually pretty, in some pinces the antin shows through tlus lace in others the georgette.

Siik organdi and ribbon, with all jewelled centres or a splash of metal paint on one or two petals, have been used to make the most attractive blossoms, Meat of them are very large single flowers, but there are among them some of those delightful flat posier in a ribbon basket which are meant to be applied on the picture dresses, and a few more natural
