addressed se follows:

Invitations for such an opening are sought after as keenly as are invitations to a first night performance on one of the boulevard theatres, all the more as these are strictly limited to the Press, to the big overseas bayers and Paris com- missionaries with perhaps, a sprink ling of personalities in the fashion world, such as, for example, Rodier, that wizard of the loom, and Drian, and Jean Gabriel Domergue, the two artists whose delicate brush portrays woman in all the fastidiousness of her modern mood and whose genius is generally sought for the decoration of the gilt-edged invitations that prelude a big dress show, "!

On the eventful night, masses of costly flowers decorate the minature stage and the room where the models will be shown off on beautiful mannequins, and cham. pagne and deligete ices with perfamed cigarettes for the women and fragrant smelling cigars for the men present are served throughout the performance. This generally lasts for Frota two to three hours, according to the number of models in the collection." and all the while

kind of religious silence is prve whilst keen eyes and busy pencils note the details of line, colour and material that are destined to influence the fashious throughout the world.

The opening at Lucien Lelong's, was one of the most brilliant receptions of its kind of the season, for, not only had this famous designer chosen a stately ansion and decorated it in layish fashion for the displaying of his models, but these, also, were a veritable tour de force of elegance and gorgeous!IPSN-

Cne of the most noticeable features was the extraordinary extent to which 3. Lelong had employed spangles and sequins 13 menos of trimming. Day dresses of woollen materials, just as well as evening gowns were trimmed with bright shining spangles, some of these being quite as big as a shilling.. The effect was apt to strike one as being a trifle theatrical, perhaps, and even out of place in the case of day frocks, but strik ing and original, nevertheless. Some of the so angled evening dresses were parti- cularly handsome.

HONGKONG AND OPIUM. (Continued frim Pone 4.) CAPITALISTS WHO FINANCE SMUGGLERS. 16-The Hongkong Government bas been urged to supplement ordinary pre- ventive measures by concentration on the detection of the capitalists who finance the smugglers. This Government has fur years pas been doing its utmost in this direction, with results comparable to the baling of water with a sieve. For many years large quantities of opium were smuggled into Hongkong from England where there was no control of export. and, except for occasional seizures, the Hongkong Government was powerless to In 1916 Mesars deal with the matter. Alfred Holt and Company presented &

Afred Holt and Company would therefore urge upon.
