For Evening Wear! Among the new evening frocks which have arrived during the last week are several useful block models. A black evening dress is a standby that no woman can afford to be without. It can, if it is not of the very stately and extremely décolleté order,.very often be worn in the afternoon or for a tes dance as well as in the evening, and the addition of a different flower, neck- lace or scarf can work a wonderful metamorphosis in an old favourite.
The first of these Black frocks is, of course, quite definitely for even- ing. It is made of black chiffon with a pretty rain drop effect of diamente," the skirt being out very long on one side. In an extra large frock of black silk lace size is and net over a good satin founda- tion. Another lace drew is out on very becoming lines for a slender woman with its long straight bodice and full futtering skirt.
I saw, too, some very attractive afternoon and evening frocks in colours, and a splendid collection of woollen jumper suits and cardigans which are very reasonable indeed during the sale

PYJAMÁŠ, SILKS & UNDIES
FROM THE PIONEER.
Rainbow colours indeed and in addition some wonderful shades created by the ingenuity of man. Soft silver greens like the under- side of spring leaves, deep glowing claret reds, and all the range of tones inspired by the sandhills, you can find them all among the silks at the Pioneer Silk Store.
Two enses were unpacked before me on Wednesday. One held soft tins in about 20 different shades."

Next I was shown some three plece pyjamas suita, trousers, sleeve: Iess jumper and three-quarter length cont in printed crêpe de chine. They are very pleasing and in good contrasts and combinations of colour. Some of the suits had the trousere made of material with a broad black stripe, the same stripe being used in combination with flowers, on the coat. The jumper was plain.
Soms very pretty printed chiffon scarves also clsized my attention.
There are some new embroidered pyjama two-piece waits also in new combinations of colour which will appeal to European women. One, for example, is in groy and lemon yellow crepe de chine. The trou- sers are yellow, and the grey jumper has a yellow dragon embroidered on
it.
I saw, too, some new silk undies of crêpe de chine trimmed with drawn thread work and a little em- broidery in pastel shades. Other

AN EXCELLENT TONIC.
NEW SPRING MILLINERY.
Men never tire of making jokes about women and a favourite of judicial humorista is the prerennial joke about the tonis effeota of a new hat.
That joke is justified except that it is no joke but truth and no- thing but the truth." Nothing is o reviving to the spirits and the looks than the possession of new and becoming headgear, and if the learned judge will forgive me, men seem to find exactly the same tonic effect in a visit to the hatter !
But surely of all millinery tonies: the first. Spring hat, is the most Potent Spring at home is so ex quisite, so lovely after the dreary. winter ( mean, of course, the gquine spring not that according to the calendar) that one feels that the first sunny day must be cele brated by a new hat. And winter is so long and so depressing that the tonic of a now hat, when, the first month of the new year is passed is really a necessity.
Happily we are more lucky here. But even in Hong Kong, when the grey and rainy days arrive, the tonic is needed, and the woman's fancy turns very strongly' to thoughts of hata, be she young or old. Her feet following her thoughts often turn in the direction of the Dolly Vardon. Hat Shop.
I told you something about the new spring hats in the Dolly Vardon Shop last week and I am not going to describe any of them again to-day. But in ense you did not see last week'a paper, let me assure you that they are & most desirable collection and have been selling like the proverbial "hot cakes" There are now light weight felts, mostly trimming of narrow braids of silk in light colours with interesting straw in black or dark brown. Taffetas and straw, is another very good combination, and there are a number of taffetas, or corded silk models, which are trimmed with flat
appliqué flowers. Crowne are a little higher and brims of stitched silk, even on straw shapes, are one of the newest fashions.
This is a representative collection of the new spring millinery, and the shapes, colours, and trimmings, are very pretty and becoming. It will be hard indeed if you can not find the tonic you need to give your heart fresh courage, and your eyes an added brightness, at the Dolly Vardon Hat Shop just now.

Hangman's House" is a film to see: It is based on the famous novel of that name by Donn Byrne but is hardly as good an interpreta tion of his work as an earlier pic- ture, The Ring," which was based on a single "chapter! That is per haps inevitable since so much of the charm of Doen Byas's work lies in his use of words and his method of telling the story, a Aston Villa method which is utterly foreign to Blackburn the screen. The "Black and Tane" Bury are surprisingly white washed in Hollywood, But after all the in- terest of a film is pictorial rather than literary, and there is little to quarrel with in the pictorial aspect of this picture.
