Making Up to Wine
URGUNDY shades are being worn a lot just now. Some of them are rich and glowing, like ne red winca; others have a more light-hearted air and a few are quite pale-like wine diluted with water.
They are becoming shades and useful for cheering up dark winter outfita. A black dress worn with a bright bur- gundy scarf and hat takes on quite a springlike air on a sunny day.
Make-up for these shades needs care.

IEW FRENCH REMEDY.
Colours
Powders which have an ochre effect should be avoided, and lipsticks in *** either vivid scarlet or orange tones will not walk happlly with wine shades.
Choose a light, but warm, peach powder or, if you are fair, a "natural" powder is good. Lipsticks and rouges which have slightly raspberry touch will go well with these colours.
Remember that the red of the lip- stick must have a "blue" hint in it, which will pick up the blue that is these wine coloum Always aim at shades that will not clash" with whatever frock you are wearing.
Cyclamen Nails
Skins at this time of year are paler than usin), as winter days steal the healthy glow from our cheeks, no uso, lighter powder and, in the evening, an extra touch of rouge.
Nail varnishes. by the way, aro restrained, so choose soft shades. Deep rose is even a lot or, if you want to be dashing with a black or white evening dress, wear a pale cyclamen. Keep i mind that flower shades are on the way and make-up will take on th "sweet innocent' aira strong con- trast to the brilliant colours which were worn earlier this winter.

I find it is a very good plan to set aside one even- ing regularly each week: for what I call my odd pieces of sewing. A nightle or a slip can be left for daya if necessary, and does not require intense concentration as to t like a dress or blouse.
Lingerie is pleasant sewing. You can pick it up for an odd half-hour here and there, chat pleasantly while working, and there is the ad- vantage of a new nightic or petti- cont to hand should you go away for a few days' holiday unex- pretedly.

The writer of the article which I am justifiably attacking, asserts that women cannot think for them- selves. This statement is, of course, a typical example of masculine egotism. I would like to know how men can think for them- Many selves?
The present chaotic condition of a world ruled by men reveals the fact that very few males can think at all!
The writer, who has cloaked his Identity in a num-de-plume, declares that women only attend musical or enter- dramatic performances for ¡tainment. The average man, we have to presume, goes to n play craving for cdmention. The idea is too palpably ridiculous to merit further comment.
"Onlooker," as he calls himself, also asserts that women only read books for entertainment. Men, on the other hand, read only to in- crease their fund of knowledge. That is why, I suppose, thrillers and detective fiction are so popular with man!
Only two things can excuse "On- looker" for expressing such ridicul- ous sentiments in his article. Either he is very young and inexperienced, or he is remarkably unobservant.

Canton, Mar. 7.
A public funeral for Chan Chi-wei and Young Shu-kong Chinese avia- tors who died in the aerial battle in the Nanyung area on February 24, was held at the Yuet Kwong under- taking parlour yesterday morning.

Ning Ming-kal, who commanded the Chinese air squadron in the Nanyung battle, was at the funeral service, and newsmen got from him a vivid account of the engagement. Three Japanese planes had closed in on Yeung, and Chan cut across to take on his assailants.
Still another plane swung over to give battle to Chan, and a machine- gun bullet struck his machine-gun, so he could not Bro, it, and he had to come down fast, being killed by the shock of a hard landing.— Our Own Correspondent.
