AND CHIFFON,

THREE PIECE SUITS FOR THE RACES.

Eve had all sorts of delightful things to show me this week.

First of all bags. These companion- able and indespensible articles are near every woman's heart, and it secins almost impossible to have enough of them--quite impossible to have too many.

THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 25th, 1929.

It is quite the most exquisite thing of its sort I have seen for a very long time, and perhapa not- the least appealing part of it is, is that it, and its fellows, were made by disabled soldiers. So that on buying one you are not only getting yourself or your friend a very charming article, but also helping the men who sacrificed so much for

BETTY AND SUE.

HATS, BAGS "AND .

ASHTRAYS.

"Betty" greeted me when I went into the Felix Hat Shop. She has a mop of golden curls, big blue eyes, a piquante little face. and Wears drees of yellow telt'; "Sue" is dressed in brown. They are, as you will have guessed, twins, and stand about two feet high in their amart little shoes. Designed, I suppose for a boudoir, they would delight the heart of any little girl who wants a really big doll. They are made of unbreakable material and are really well modelled. They cost #12 each,

New Hats.

Hard as it was to forget the charms of these two little ladies for while, I turned to a box of new French hats. They are very attrac- tive and hold the hint of Spring which is correct just now. Several of them are cleverly draped turban abapos in silk, with a small diamanté pin to ornament them. One is in speckled grey and navy, this speckled effect is quite new and very anart at present. Another is of black felt with a band of shiny silk straw which runs up in front and becomes a small brim on the right hand side. An interesting point is the pleating of the brim just over the right car to give .width.

DEMURE DANCE FROCK.

This demure little dance frock in georgette has been created for the debutante. The slender "June" bodice and gracefully Huttering skirt are most becom ing to the youthful figure. De- fientely tinted hand-made flowrin· ndd a charmaig note.

THE RACES.

WHAT WELL-DRESSED WOMEN ARE CHOOSING.

Now that the big balls are over the interest of Madame la Mode And those who serve her, is centred, here in the Calony, as in France and England, on the Races,

Everywhere the well dressed women, who are the leaders of fashion, are asking themselves, "What shall I wear to the Races 7"* The answer, of course, depends to a large extent on the weather, and we are luckier here than they are at Home because we can foretell the temperature fairly accurately.

WOMAN'S CROWNING

GLORY.

AN ARTIST HAIRDRESSER.

"Woman's crowning glory," is ber hair which even in these days s short locks cap do more to make or mar her general appearance than the smartest frock.

It used to be considered, a couple of generations ago, wrong and ex- travagent to go to a hair dresser, But every woman had specially family receipies for shampooing the hair, and it must not be forgotten- that most ladies had a maid to dress their locks for them, and even then the barber was called, in for special occasions. But now that we don't all have maids we all, or near- ly all, go to a professional for the beauty culture of our hair.

Short Hair Needs Special Care. Short hair needs much more care than long tresses, it must be per fectly cut and perfectly groomed, and the shorter it is worn tho greater perfection is essential in these two matters

The cutting. shampooing and curling of hair is an art and a science which has to be carefully studied, and the woman who wishes to look her best is careful to go to a hairdresser who has had the proper training and has a fair for knowing what styles are becoming to each particular type of face.

SOME SUGGESTIONS FROM WHITEAWAY, LAIDLAW'S.

Brass Bedsteads..

A visit to Whiteaway, Laidlaw's and pale blue flowers. will always suggest (unfortunate ly) any number of things you need, and quite a number which you feel you really must have. If this is so at ordinary times, it is Cven more noticable when there is a salo in progress, as at present, for there are so many articles which are marked a really bargain prices.

The next thing I noticed were brass bedsteads, both single and double, which were handsome and well designed.

The pro gramme was made up of the works of modern French composers, De bussy, Saint-Saens, Cesar Franck, etc. Mrs, Hargreaves Brown herself took quite a large share, playing piano solos and a duct, piano and violin, with Captain MacNair. An other French lady, Madame Bonen- fant played the accompaniments for the songs given by Mrs. Bowes Smith
