A large number of people wore entertained at a mannequin parado held at Moser Sincere Co, last evening...
The gorgeous gowns were wore in both Chinese and European stylos, the material being solely from the celebrated Mayar Silk Milla in Shanghai,

The Parade.
The dream display opened with a chess model in a multi-ecloured floral design, the tight Chinese top having a skirt cut on flared lines. The combination of European and Chinese atyles gave it most fae- cinating effect. Ablue-mist " georgette model was probably the outstanding creation displayed; but on slimming lines, the wide skirt.
