YARDLEY
POWDER
The one perfect powder.
for a flawless English skin.
Clear and cool and gardenia-smooth, the English woman's complexion is like some pink-and-ivory-petaled flower, exquisite and. mre. And she cares for it as she would her most precious possessions. She will use only the finest preparations that the world afforda.
- That is why Yardley made. Fragrance Powder.
It will give you more than you had ever hoped for from a powder. It is so light, it will cling for hours: so luxuriously fine, like delicate, tinted mist; so subtly shaded that only the touch of your fingers and the richer, softer finish of your skin will reveal. that you have used a powder at all. Truly a miracle!

EVE
As the name implies, this shop stands for everything that is nice and beautiful, and while on the Subject of beauty, I must tell you about the new hats that have just arrived at this store. Or I'd bet- ter not tell you about them, for It will spoil half the pleasure t you hear about them first and then go and look at them. They are real beauties, though, and as nearly all Hong Kong will be at the Races with one on Saturday- it's the last meeting for the first half of the year-you'd better go to Eve's quickly before all the best ones are taken up. They are all in the latest styles and de- signs.

This popular store receives a new stack of goods every · week " and out of the latest lot, are some very smart models amongst which are some delicious "volle and silk evening and afternoon dresses."
One specially striking model was of white washing silk with a swag- ger coat to match-this complete with the neck effect, finishing off with the latest rusched collar.
MAYO'S
Walking to Mayo's, I found them as busy as ever with their orders. Truly this is the place to get your hats. They have just received a new stock of the latest straws some of which are the last word in style. As for your old hats, do not discard them-Mayo's W remodel and re-shape them for you, making them look ex- actly like new. Remember Alladin and the Wonderful lamp? . Well then, Mayo is just the same with -old hats.
LANE CRAWFORD'S
Do you remember the last bridge
party you went to? There was such an array of beautiful dresses" and it was such a pleasant gather, ing, wasn't it? Well, the next party can be even more pleasant and as I feel sure all the people who were at the last one will at- tend, you will no doubt want to
go all the more, wont you?
Under the circumstances, you cannot do better than pay a visit to Lane, Crawford's Ladies Salon where they have on view a new consignment of American dresses. They are just the thing for morn- ing wear, and so reasonable too, that you can afford to take two or three away, only be sure to go early and avoid disappointment.

and skirt In black or riavy wool fabric should certainly have a place in every woman's wardrobe; nothing is better for the street, and such styles also have a way of looking exactly right for the weekend country visit.
With the dark sult always fresh and pleasing are the accessories of white vogue, For town wear too much white may be extravag ant, so it is best to reserve the pique only for an extra collar in- side a matching blouse of crepe or taffeta, or else place bands of bique on the outside wide coat- collar, with the sleeves treated likewise. For the country the white pique waistcoat or lingerie blouse can be a dainty. extra.
There are this season all sorts of variety in the buttonhole or spray of white or coloured organ- ', which also provides extrá smart touches, the white note be- ing repeated in handbags and shoes. These new ways give chic to the black, brown or navy spring street suits. As the west- her gets warmer the same tailor- ed idea can be extended to the new linen tweeds, fine wool mix- tures and thick washing silks, and so on, for there are all sorts of thin summery stuffs that nowadays all come under the fal- lor's iron.
For smart and semi-smart day wear we can put taffeta and cer- tain makes of the old-world fall-" les first on the fashion list, I either like these old silks severely tailored or treated in a very fri volous manner. One of the most successful afternoon London en- sembles 3 have noticed' is a black frock either in faille-gorgette" or" stiffened chiffon, made on slim and simple lines, and over this style comes the bright-coloured" taffeta coat loose with the new wide aleeves, reaching just to the hips, where it flies out in all directions.
Simplicity
Flamingo colour or apple-green looks lovely worn with black, with a shady Japanese hat of the two colours. Also very chic was a dark yellow crepe warn silk coa- tee, this time slightly basqued, with a belt of sea shells picking up the colours. An ornament of the same was the sole decoration for a wide sallor hat of coarne brown straw.

Elastic Lace..
Elastic lace is now available as ati accessory to slimming, British lacemakers have experimented so successfully with lastex yarri in conjunction with cotton or rayon that they are convinced it has come to stay...
Until experience opens the way to further developments, the new lace will be used mainly for un- derwear, where its main advan tages are that it clings to the figure, gives freedom of move- ment, and is unshrinkable.

For London the less ceremonial treatment is more suited to the lives we lead. Also, we prefer sof- ter, woolly, crepe fabrics, even for our afternoon outfits.
The new kimona fashions,
which I think will gain in popú- larity, are graceful when carried out in the more clinging mater- ials. A soft crepe de Chine in 'black, made with "loose coat and long, well-seamed tight · skirt, looks delightful worn with a gally patternéd floral blouse of Eastern style. Nothing is more attractive. and comfortable for the summery ensemble than these Oriental effects sparingly and skilfully in- troduced with the semi-tailored loose afternoon coat and smartly cut skirt.
