Be you tall or small, plain or exotle, a well tailored two piece suit is flattering to the figure. No wonun, citirer the housewite or gal with a career, should be minus such an outfit in each season's wardrobe. Lane Crawford has a satisfying selection of such suits in flannel and light weight wor- steds. The coats are well cut and nicely lined. The skirts vary in style of kick-pleats and box pleats or side suts. Grey appears to be their outstanding cour, to date. And when this sult is worn with a colourful tailored or dressmaker blouse and a wild coloured hat with the correct bag and gloves. nothing along the avenue could be smarter. Various changes of blouse and hat with this type suit pro- duces new and effective costumes.
There are a few dressler two piece suits in this shop which can be worn during the morning and inte informal afternoon occasions. They are well tailored, the collar. and self-trim with the general cut of the garment removes them from the strictly tailored fashion Spring Straws
Due to distance the fashion cen- ters' latest thrills are several weeks old when they arrive in Hongkong, but. Mayos in the Arcade have taken this fact into consideration and are making up for time by designing their own spring crea- tions. Studying the advanced fashions in millinery they have put their fingers to straws and pre- sent the public with models now being shown äbroad.
Natural and coloured straws are made into chapeaux, which are copied from
the smartest mil- lifery houses. Rough straw seems to hold first place in early spring models. While sailors, pull-boxes and medium brimmed creations are outstanding in designs.
