LAST, WORDS ABOUT EVENING FROCKS. THE SPINNING BLOW.
il
The materials most favoured at the moment for evening gowns are soft satins, nets, organdies, taffetas, tulles of various weaves, chiffons, plain or printed, very light-weight brocades, and embossed georgettes, Jean Patou uses a vast amount of taffeta, sometimes plain, some times patterned. Printed frocks are complemented with amusing little coats to match. The bodices are shaped, the skirts full, held in place with a narrow waistbelt of self- material.
Contrary to the general feeling where evening coats are concerned, all his frocks are, accompanied by coats of matching fabrics. He still shows the long cont brushing the ground behind, a pleasant and dig- nified change after some of the abbreviated wraps now seen:
Fantastic Necklines.
Many necklines are original in cut. Sometimes a model is given an almost high-necked effect, the corsage in Irant being cut is a deep V to the base of the throat, a strap of self-material encircling the neck. holding it in position. This is con tinued down to the waistline he- hind. The draped monk's cowl back is still shown, and necklines are frequently draped in front- though to a lesser degree--to match.
Draped and lightly-gathered hip- lines, diagonal in effect, are as new 48 they are attractive. Some, cross-over and threaded through. have something of a swashbuckling effect.
Matching Shoes.
All Patou's models are accom- panied by matching shoes, particu larly effective in the case of pat terned fabrics. Printed taffeta de- signs are shown with shoes carried out in identical material, while those of Agured chiffon are worn with shoes of corded silk, frequent- ly a combination of two of the most prominent shades in the patterning. A green and strawberry pair were most attractive, while à buttercup- yellow design was bordered round the vamp, with black and finished with a black neel.
Paton has always been a most successful exponent of the restau- rant ensemble, a type of garment barticularly in demand at this sea- son of the year.

Baku Straw is very much in favour this season and a jaunty note is struck by the unusual shape of the Black Baku model on the right. Although it is decidedly an "Off the Face" hat, it is exceedingly shady and cool-looking. The trimming is a Black and White corded ribbon, which is threaded in an intricate manner through both sides of the brim, and across the crown.

[BY A HONG KONG WOMAN:]
In England last summer I met woman in grent distress. She was only young, but she bad been dealt a blow from which she felt she would never be able to recover.
It does not help to mention what the blow waa-beyond that it was of the worst sort, the sentimental. Most of us, at some time or other, and with varied degrees of inten- sity, have suffered in the same way. And most of us have felt that same way about it too.
few weeks ago, during my travels out East I met the same woman. She looked a tríðs older, but she had a wonderfully bright amile (although she was very much sadder beneath the surface), and she was intensely more human and understanding. There was some thing much more "attractive about. ber, too. It was her new enthu- siasms and new plans about a career for her future. She was almost Evagely engaged in these new plans.
A Real Woman.
That woman is a real woman now. She has been through fire; she has spent hours and days with memories; she has been racked with despair, resentment, remorse... And now she has emerged triumphant,
with a keener appreciation of the fact that life is not all honey and
cream.
When we get to the stage that we are so sore-stricken that we can no longer hold up put, heads our friends, full of sympathy and good intentions, try to console us with," Time is a great healer," "The darkest hour proceeds the dawn," "We all get our share of troubles sooner or later in life," "There is always a silver lining," etc., etc, and we know that is all true, but I despite these kind friends and coun
sellors at such moments, the hurt will never heal if we dwell upon it. We much muster all our strength of character and will-power and thrust the past behind us and look forward once again to the future.
The Value of Trials, Tribulation is, "after" all, the lot of woman and of man, but more. Ho of the former. Those who have been through trouble and come through undaunted are all the finer for it-it is the untroubled ones who are spineless, characterless, unin- teresting. witless-intolerant and petty and without understanding.
When life has sent you'n spinning blow and, the whole world seems topsy-turvy, then is the time to show- what you are made of.
There is no virtue in smiling when we are happy-we can all da that. But to keep the sunny side" up when things are looking cloudy,— to keep one's end up when one's heart is breaking, that's something more than worth while-we'd call it courage in a.man but it is even something finer than that in a
woman.

many different styles! There is the demure locking green and white drees at $10.80; there is the very modern looking dress with its panties to match at $11.60-the saucy red print frock with its panties made all in one-the accom panying little skirt being just tied around to give a frilly apron effect at $12.50; they are all different but they have two things in common- they are made with the idea of comfort in hot weather (very few undies need be worn), and also they are chic because they are prints.
Maison Marnac is designing some delightful gowns. For formal after- noon and informal evenings I saw. some lovely models made of wispy sheer fabrics that make one's heart beat faster. The colour schemes, too, are dainty,
