A typical example is an evening gown which I saw "Au Petit Louvre."! This well-known shop which used to be situated under the Kowloon Hotel has now moved to a part of Ullman's shop in Chater Road. The gowns and hats, etc.. which you will find there all come from the justly famous Maison Bland of Oxford Street and Paris and represent the very latest ver- sions of la Mode,

To gown in question is of black silk net and lume. The former is used for the long full skirt. Black lame with a red and gold design is used for the straight swathed bodice (like those we were wearing in the early days of the war) supported by narrow diamanté ahoulder straps, and for the bustle bow which is set low in the small of the back. From under the bustle flows an apron og train, also. of lane, black and gold with a hern in which the red note again appears, while the lines of the bow Lara socured by a black and diamanté-

Another gown in which gold. čame plays an important part is made of exquisite gold lace, the lane being used for the slip.

The touch of the eighties is seen again in a charming semi. period dress of pale pink net and Bilk lace. The skirt is cut very full and falls in points on either side.

It sounde too good to be true but I saw some delightful evening frocks there which were propor- tionately as cheap. There was, for example, dear little French model of pink chiffon embroidered with pearl beads and pink sequins and another lovely black Let dress with pearly and silver bends which combined a certain sophistication with the lightness which is so pretty in the ball-room.

As an example of "Eve's" after- noon frocks there is, or was, suit in the nty Persiai red and black. The skirt is black and the red jumper is embroidered in a sort of Persian design in black and gold stitchery. The whole effect is extremely chic, and "good

One of the problems here, which a large number women have. to face, is whether to buy local stuff and have it made by a local tailor, or get a really well cut garment which comes from Europe, and may not be able to stand the climate. Neither is very satisfactory if you can only afford a few frocks. But if your Home side dress only costs you no more than one which is locally made. it is not so heart breaking matter if it splits, great when the frock is as charming as those Eve "wells...
