TO USHER IN THE SPRING
Presumably there are people to whom the differences in the sea- sons just don't make any differ- ence at all, so far as the visual effects of their clothes are con- cerned. It is very odd that this should be so, but it must be, or you would not see the things you dc see among people who could quite obviously afford otherwise.
Let us hope that the stimulus of Jubilee year and the early Courts and all the day and night festivities we are promised. will be powerful enough to stir up.... even the sartorially laziest." -
Clothes to-day can be so much more than just clothes. Each en- semble, if wisely assembled, can be a beauty treatment in self; and when made by one of those dictatorial conturiers who will dress no woman unless she has her figure under proper control it' may easily be the means of an increased zest for living and a longer life as well,
There are some springs when everything worth looking at in the daytime dress line is black and white, and for wearing in Landon, or any other big city, the well-dressed woman almost invariably considers her wardrobe incomplète without at least one; and probably several, examples of this sombre colouring.
This year it is different. You can have. black or black and white, and you probably will-in silk or in linen, in tauleta or in moire, in ordinary foulard or the new satin foulard, in tie sk, the But finest wool or wool lace. there are so many other lovely things to choose, and gay or fan- tastic, subtle or surprising colour games to play.
BOLERO OR SWINGING CAPÉ Your coat can be a short, snug bolero, so snug. Indeed, that it will not even button any lower than your collar bone, and sq short in the sleeves that several inches of the cuffs of your blouse show above your wrists. Or it may be a wide, swinging cape, clinging nowhere except on the carefully fitted shoulders, and just covering your finger tips should you ever stand with your arms hanging down by your sides. Between these two there is the capo jacket, straight and box-like at the back, belted in front, and with slits through which to thrust the sleeves of your crisp white blouse,
Different from any of these is the full length cost in tweed, Ane wool or heavy silk, with its waist- ed silhouette and tiny, espes on the shoulders, after the Scarlet Pimpernel or the most romantic of highwaymen--certainly a long -way after, but none the less at-

ROUND THE SHOPS
„LANE CRAWFORD
Raincoats and capes, are some of the things that popular estab- lishment, Lane Crawford's 'Ladies Saloon, have to offer you this weekt and as the rainy season is about due (I am not certain if May is not the time for It); the best advice. I. can offer my readers this week is to take a trip to Larie Crawford's and get a really snappy mackintosh before they are all taken up. The capes. In rubber, are in various shades and besides being light and useful they are also very reason- able, being priced from $4.75 up- wards. The other line, with the extra cape, are only from $8.75 while the famous Milwata Rain- costs are also to be had at the same figure. These are in dream. shade lined with red rubber whlie there are some that are lined with blue. There are also a lot in plain - blues, torquoise, green and just plain white.
The one thing that is sure to bring joy to the heart of the horse- woman is their famous Miwata point-to-point riding coats with the extra fulness of the skirt as they have the double pleat at the back. The special "Storm" models inakes one think of the typhoons that are so prevalent here in the summer months and they too are so nice.
EVE'S OFFERINGS Calling at Eve's I found that she bad something new to offer this week and if I were to tell you ali about it, I am sure you'll want to visit that store as well.

HATS, BEAUTIFUL HATS Mayo's, the home of beautiful hats, tells me that they are taking · orders for hats and that each order will be executed immediately and "guaranteed to please." They will make you a hat in any shape or / style that you may desire.
THE FLOWER SHOP It must be very pleasant to be able to feel that here in Hong Kong we have a florist upon whom we can depend entirely to carry out even the most difficult, of- orders. 'The Clover Flower, Shop have earned for themselves the name of the leading RoHst in town and they live up to it too!
They are simply being inundated with orders for the Garden Party and as there is bound to be such a last-minute rus (which is typical 01 Hong Kong), I advise you to place your orders early in order to avoid disappointment. Their flow- ers come from their own Nursery in Little Hong Kong and they are always so fresh and sweet.

WHAT SMART WOMEN ARE WEARING
Dark Suits-Gay Millinery
There seems very little differ- ence nowadays between the well- dressed English
French and woman. A glance round any fashionable luncheon haunt in London or Paris proves this. English women have learnt how ta complete their clothes." They are not content to buy a new suit, but ate as particular as the Par- isienne in their manner of wear- ing it, and in collecting correct accessories.
At the Inchebu keur in the crowded restaurants one is struck with the chic of the darker ultra- simple sults or ensembles crowned by dressy hais. One notices other smart accessories of Importance." such as shoes, gloves and handbag. Black taffeta is responsible for some of the smartest creations. It can be worn from early morning onwards, for the neat trim tailleurs, the full and frilly robe-; de style, or the more picturesque frock,
