Question.

"What will I wear to-night?" is the universally feminine question after sundown.

A large wardrobe does not settle the problem, according to Lillian Roth, appearing in Para- mount productions.

"Discretion is the hatter part of fashion," states Migs Roth, "and of limited wardrobe the woman who knows what to wear and where to wear it gains in chic ever her sisters of greater clothes range but with meagre knowledge

The answer is definitely Fashion travels on swift wings and already the magic names of Patou, Chanel, Lanvin, and half a dozen others have materialized; and al- most simultaneously with Paris, Shanghai is showing the actual models of these wizards of fashion. The society women of London and Faria, who, having returned from the Idle luxury of sun-bathing at Le Touquet, Deauville or Juan-les- Pins, discard their beach pyjamas and backless bathing suits and plunge, with the thrill of a new discovery, into an even more ex- hilarating tide of fashion-what would be their surprise to knowIE that in Far Cathay we are doing exactly the same thing? What matter if our Deauville ba only Tsingtao or Wel-hai-wel? We also return with the requlaite amount of sunburn and with the Autumin race meeting in view rejoice that' there are
