The Annual Race Meeting means very much to the women of Hong Kong what Ascot and Auteuil do to women til over the world. Our race senson is not of such importance but it does mean the launching of the new fashions for the Spring and up since.
There is a truly delightful collee tion of race frocks and hats now on show in the Ladies Salon of Lane, Crawford's, and I was glad to see besides the real thin race frocks, some lovely gowns in warmer materials more suitable for the wea ther which was are at present enjoy. ing or enduring according to our temperamenta.
One of these warmer frocks is in cocos crêpe de chine and satin. It is cut in the new princess style with a high fitting waist and long gored skirt developing into full fares at the sides. The crêpe de chiné has a widely spaced deck introduced by means of tiny beads. The satin is used for the side flares, being let in high under the arms, the sleeves, trimming, neck band and the row of buttons from neck to hem down the back. A most delightful en- semble is made up of a sleeveless frock of thick white ottoman crêpe. The high waist is marked by a series of horizontal tucks and e narrow stitched belt of rust colour. ed crêpes The vest is trimmed with wool embroidery in rast and black.

A well written and informative book, it sets out to put the teaching in clear language, and is divided of Christ and of the early fathers into sections dealing with various problems of life. Though there is those who are already Christians, nothing new in the teaching for these is much that is new and in which that teaching is applied thought provoking in the manner to our modern life. It is a book which mothers and fathers and school teachers would be, well advis- led to study.
The excellent selection of child-I ren's books which are now marked at sale price has considerably diminished since I brought the sale. to your attention last week, but are still a good many books, and. kindergarten appliances such a sewing cards and cut out dolls-to be had at less than cost. The mother who is going on leave soon with young children should certainly have a look at these, for she will find it's very great help to be able to produce something new at in- tervals during the voyage to keep her restless little ones still för, a short time.
PIONEER NEWS,
NEW PRINTED SILKS FOR SPRING WEAR,
I saw on Wednesday a delightful collection of printed silks in the new season's designs which bad just been unpacked at the Pioneer Silk Store. The Spring 1830 da signs are nearly all small and for malised. As might be expected beiges, wine shades, cocoa browns and the new blue, are much in evidence. The pastel shales which will almost certainly be worn in summer have not yet made their appearance. One of the most attractive of these printed silks was in bright navy with a close design of tiny flowers in pink and brown, Very pretty too, is a check and spot pattern which I saw in black with white, grey and beige, in navy with red and white, and in cocoa brown, with orange and beige.
Among the new goods are haori. coats, some of which are printed outside with ostrich feathers in fairly deep tones; printed scarves; spun radium crepe in double width, and talletas, both in a lovely colour range. There are too; some Indian silk rugs and prayer mats which are very reasonable in price. The rugs are certainly most attractive, while the prayer mata being bright in colour would need useing carefully.
