BRONCHITIS

IT is an awful feeling to be conscious of bronchitis

tightening its grip on your chest, and the breathing becoming more and more obstructed by the "accumulation of phlegm and mucus in the windpipe and throat.

Coughing can't be kept up long without injury to the tissues. Cough you must, though your eyes feel bursting by the racking exertion, your head aches, and your chest is painful at the back, front and sides.

The first symptom of the acute form is tightness or sore. ness of the chest right behind the upper part of the breast bone, with a little hoarseness and tickling at the back of the throat, and with this is a very annoying hacking. dry cough which sets up inflammation.

POWERFUL MEDICINAL FUMES.

Bronchitis gets more distressing as winter approaches unless the sufferer adopts the proper treatment, which is supplied by Peps, the wonderful breathe-able remedy.

When the handy little. Peps tablet is stripped of its silver jacket and placed in the mouth, powerful medicinal fumes are given off which impregnate the air we breathe with all the chest-strengthening virtues of the pine forest, and as- this medicinal air is breathed down the windpipe (where liquid medicine cannot pass), the cure is at once begun.

The obstructive phlegm is loosened and expectorated from the bronchial tubes: breathing is made easy; and an end is quickly put to the chest-racking cough. Peps completely banish all the terrors of bronchitis.

PEPS are obtainable in sealed glass bottles of Chemists and Dispensaries everywhere. Direct from Agents:-Messrs. Wakefield & Co. (China), Ltd, Szechnen Road, Shanghai.

PARIS FASHION NOTES.

[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, ISABEL RAMSAT]

PRINCE AND WEMBLEY,

"E1,000 TO HELP TO MEET LOSS.

SHARING QUARANTURS' BURDENS

£1,000 towards the cost of liquidating the The Prince of Wales has contributed

paymenta *

PARIS, November 29th, 1995 "Miss C Lowry, and of the bevy of clever overseas buyers that come over tBritish Empire Exhibition in connection Europe every year, passed through with the loss on which the guarantors Paris this week, on her way to Brussels, have been called upon to make heavy and eventually London. During a chat I had with Miss Lowry, she told me of all the beautiful things she has been buying during the three months that aho has been busy in these parts, and also revealed to me her impressions of pre- sent-day fashions, as they strike her after an absence from Europa of two years.

THE TWO-PIECE COSTUME.

First, and most important of all," she began, "I must say that the charac. teristic about the present fashious which impressed me most is the part the two- piece costume, and easetable effects, generally, are playing. Why, tailor- mades are as dead as the crinoline, to such an extent has their place been taken by two-piece models. In fact, I grew quite tired looking at two-picco costumes, for. they predominate in every big collection. Usually, the dress is made of some soft material such as crêpe de Chine, crêpe Georgette or Romain or printed chiffon, and the cont is made of a heavier material, but always lined with material similar to that of the dress. This last is a mest rigid rule.

Then, there are, the two-piece models' for evening wear, quite the smartest things I have seen. The skirt is made of lamé, satin or crêpe Georgette, fitted with godets or pleats so as to dare out very much, and the jumper top is made of lame, chiffon, crêpe Georgette or c broidered or beaded material, but always a material different to that of the skirt is choaca. Endless changes may be rung in with such a costume, for with one skirt, any number of jumper tops can

be worn The circular note is still in evi- dence in most of the skirts and nearly all the lighter type of frocks I have seen show full flowing lines. Ninon crêpe Georgette and crêpe de Chine, are still favourites for afternoon and evening dresses.

"Kasha is still good, both plain and printed, although I noticed a tendency to use kasha more as a trimming now, rather than as a material in itself. Ia the field of sports wear, for example, i have seen endless models in jersey do laine trimmed with bands of kasha. Others, lighter in texture, were made of crêpe de Chine, and this, also was trim med with bands of kasha in a darker shade, or else in a different colour to match. Other models showed a skirt made of kasha and a jumper of jersey trimmed with kasha the same as that of the skirt. Others, again, showed the skirt of plain kasha, or kasha in one colour, and the jumper in a 5gured kasha to match. Sports wear, by the way, has undergone a change, since my last visit and, in place of the knitted sports gar ment that was all the rage a little while ago, there are now chiefy two-piece suits, featuring a skirt, usually very short and pleated, and a loose jumper top To wear with such a suit, there is always the inevitable little pull an felt hat.

EVENING WEAR. ··

Mr. J. H Thomas, M.P., who is chair. man of the committee which is winding up the affairs of the exhibition, received the Prince's cheque accompanied by the following letter:--

DEAR ME. THOMAS,

For many months past I have been very much concerned about the finan- cis results of the British Empire Ex- hibition. As the first president of the exhibition, I took the shair at the before I left for India in 1991. meeting held at the Mansion House

Knowing that a sum of at least £1,000,000 had to be produced to enable. these preliminary works of the ex. hibition to be started, I personally appealed to the public to guarantee that sum.

In response to my appeal a number of public spirited firma and individuals came forward. Sufficient guarantees wore forthcoming, and as a result it was possible to hold the exhibition and to make it the great success from an Imperial point of view. which it un doubtedly was.

By their timely support the guaran. cors earned the gratitude of the whole of our Commonwealth of Nations. The Exhibition has, however, resulted in a considerable financial loss, the greater part of which must be borne by the guarantors.

They are..I know, fulfilling their pro- mises in the same generous spirit in which they gave them, and I now write to ask you, to express to them my sincere appreciation of the part they. have played.

is my desire to share, in some small degree, the burden they have to I therefore enclose my shoulder. cheque for £1,000-Believe me, Yours sincerely.

Mr. Thomas, in an interview when be

"This is a magnificent and spontane. ous act, The Prince, is not a guaran tor, and is. therefore, under no ob ligation. But he made an appeal to others to become guarantors, and this is his method of showing that he does not want to escape responsibility him- self.

On behalf of the liquidators I am thanking him for it.

FASHION.IBLE COLOURS.'

if I were to start naming them, I would never finish. All the greens are good.. likewise the browns, and this means that endless range of shades from champagne Bordeaux and beige to fete de negre, and burgundy are shades that are much in evidence now, and by these, I mean a shade that is more like the estour of beetroot than anything else. THE LATEST IN HATS.

As to bats, the little pull-or shape The paly change I have noted is in the matter. of material. Whereas, there was nothing but felt to be seen a little while ago, there is now any amount of velvet shapes about, particularly stitched and fancy velvets. Generally there is no other trimming beyond that afforded by the material itself or the stitchery worked on it, than ornainent stuck through in front or at the side at a smart angle. Little And quaint little Animals,

figures, fashioned of tiny brilliants or of mar quisette are still the rage for trimming simple millinery of this type." THE RETURN OF TAFFETAS.

"One important detail I noticed was the return of taffetas. Everywhere, I have seen, dresses of taFetas, reversible taffetas for the most part, made with very full skirts. In fact, there is a rage just at present for this material for evening, wear, and for this type of full-

For evening wear, beaded dresses are still considered smart, except that there is a big difference in the type of beads used for this purpose.
