WOMEN "AT BRIDGE.
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS.
The Bridge Club has altered the course of the mollern woman'a life. Some years ago Woman, ever ready to be emancipated, took to card playing with all the ap- plleation and earnestness which sho had hitherto bestowed on painting doyleys and embroidering afternoon tea-cloths. She found herself developing an extraordin nry card sense, and oncy she had persuaded her husband, brother, father or some ma friend to teach her the rudiments of the game she very often left her teacher far behind. In fact, nowa, days a good woman player is far above the average" man player.
The love of gambling inherent in most women is a potent factor in bride-playing. For how many ather inducements but a game of

Why Bridge has such a Hold on
Woman,
I think the attraction is based on varioúa motives. Primarily, this love of a game of chance, secondly, the knowledge that one can com- pletely forget one's petty-or even serious--worries while playing, thirdly because on six days" out of seven there is little of interest for
FUR FLOWERS.
FOR EVENING WRAPS...
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1927.

Chiffon wraps of the same variety are beautified with huge flowers, often cut out of taffeta, which is used for a binding.
Far flowers especially in tinted ermine, are also seen, the fur be- inx aed for the edging. Apart from the conventional Spanish shawl, there are squares of un- adorned material decorated with aweeping fringe, often three feet in length.

Stifling Lamentation.
I have often been asked if wo- meh nre gooit losers, and I un- hesitatingly say "Yes," always providing for the rule-providing exception. A bad loser becomes so unpopular that in time even it' inwardly highly aggrieved, she learns to control her lamentations. and becomes ashamed of them. I once heard a player, who was los- ing heavily, say that she did not see why the others should have a pleasant game if she were unable to enjoy it! The day came, how- ever, when no one would sit down with her, and she had to join an- uther club, where, it is to be hoped, she mended her ways.
Tell-tale Facial Expression.
It is more difficult; I think, for a woman to control her facial ex- pression than it is for d man to do so. men having been brought up to keep always a stiff upper lip. Consequently, some women occa- sionally give their game away by showing elation when they have a

Long earrings, as most of us know, are not usually worn in the daytime at present, but some that are very effective appear at night. Also some that aro. grotesque, oither because their wearer has chosen bad lines, cheap imitations or the wrong coiffure. Others are neither effective nor grotesque, but rather unfortunate since, though. the earrings are good and so is the face, the two do not belong to- gether.
