LONDON

Londoners axes debt of gratitude to Fashion, and the dress artists who be. tween them, are bent on making this Empire Exhibition yearns bright as possible, says a home paper,.

Pillar-bog tresses "have already been mentioned, and now we have the sunset frock, or the rainboy frock, or the mid night sun frock each will unme it ne cording to her own view of the matter

For the woman who likes to be original all kinds but-of-the-way dresses are provided. One of the most striking was of vivid green, and gold and entoured brocade patterned with "Chinese gurd ant landscapes and hung with swinging green tassel.

LONG SLEEVES FASHION, LONGCHAMS DECREE

No more bare arms is the latest dietate cf the Paris fashion world, which has come to the conclusion that bare, arms, must be strictly reserved for evening frocks. This was clearly to be soon at Longchang, whers in glorious sunshine the oyning meeting was the occasion for a glorious display of summer: frocks.
