THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, MARCH 8th, 1929.

WOMAN'S PAGE.

ON A FAVOURITE SUBJECT.

HATS LARGE AND SMALL, FLOWER TRIMMED FELTS, SCARVES USED ON LARGE SUMMER SHAPES.

It is always a pleasure to write about hats, but perhaps, more de lightful' this spring than it has been For a long time because there is such a variety in the styles. Some years ago the cloche threatened to be as universal for women as the Homburgh for men. No one dared to wear a brim unless sky was lovely enough to brave fashion, and it was

considered rather eccentric for an English woman to swathe her hend in a turban although a Parisienne

would sometimes venture to do so. But we have won through to free dom. To-day, you can chose s shape with a wide sweeping brim, a cloche, a turban, or even a hat with a brim of moderata proper tions and have no fear of not being in the fashion. This freedom means that bats are now being made to suit individual types, and although it makes the choice more bewilder ing, it ensures that every woman, if she chooses can wear a hat which accentuates her good points.

The Dolly Vardon Hat Shop is an excellent place in which to choose a hat if you are not quite sure which style is the kindest to your particular type, because so wide a choice is offered. I saw yesterday big picture hate of crin straw with the crowns tied., with

SUMMER EVENING

FROCKS.

LACE, TULLE AND TAFFETAS

1.5

Eve. has a collection of inexpen- sive evening frocks which should find great favour here, because they are cut on simple lines which make them cool to wear, and that is, perhaps, even more important, make the wearer look cool. They might, many of them; also be worn afternoon frocks in the summer, which is a consideration for those whose purse is not as clastic se they would like it to be. There are a series of little dresses, in various colours, made of artificial silk lace, which is guaranteed to wash. They are simply but prettily cut and have a slip of the same coloured rayon.

Taffetas and net makes two more important looking evening dresses. One, of midnight blue tulle, has three rows of taffetas ruffles set in vandyke points round the hem of the skirt, which is quito long and full. The other has a long, closo fitting bodice of taffetas, with the new basque, and a net skirt,- trim. med with rows of narrow velvet ribbon. Sea green net with a silver lace bodice makes a very charming picture frock with an ankle length skirt. Another green tulla frock has rows of narrow silver ribbon on the skirt.

The first voile frocks have also come, in, some of them are priced as low as $9.50, others more elaborate in cut, or of finer voile are rather more expensive.

There are some very attractive. little frocks 'in' cotton - georgette, which could be worn for afternoon or informal evening wear during the summer'; and I saw a number of very well cut linen frocks running from $14.50.

PEARL BEIGE AND TABAC.

SOME MORE JUMPER SUITS.

printed georgette scarves. Recalling a gracious fashion of many years ago, a fashion which seems parti cularly suited to the type of Eng- lish beauty which is admired the world over.

Other erin straws with drooping brims are trimmed with a large exotic flower on one side, a more- formal style demanding a smart dress, while yet others have fat clusters of flower heads and a band

of valves:ribbon.

In direct opposition are the nest. est possible little shapes of fine silk canvas straw, folded and trimmed with severe little bows of their own material. These for the woman who likes a tailored appearance even in her summer frocks. Fancy weaves and trimmings of fat flowers or gaily coloured braidings, give a summery and less formal look to (other small kats, and what promises to be a very favourite fashion for the spring is a light weight felt trimmed with relvet flower heads.

I can not go into any descrip- tion of individual hate this week, and indeed I should hardly know where to begin for those I saw in the Dolly Varden were so many and so charming, that it would be hard to pick out any for particular men tion. But if you cannot find just the hat you have been looking for among them it will be because you have not looked properly!

MARMET PRAMS.

The Marmet Praia, the aristo crat of baby carriages,” is a subject I am always happy to talk about.. I've had a Marmet and I am duly grateful! The 1929 models which have just arrived in WHITRAWAY, LAIDLAW's enbody all the newest ideas for baby comfort, together with the excellent designing and craftsmanship for which Marmets are justly famous.

Worthy to stand beside them is a very well designed "Alwyn" folder. It is so beautifully sprung, it is quite fit for a tiny baby so the seat let down to make a full length bed. An excellent point is that the hood is joined at the bottom to the body of the pram, instead of just resting on it, thus preventing a draught from blowing in between

the two.

STRAW HATS FOR LATE SPRING.

There is a very nice collection of straw hats for late spring or early summer wear now in LANE, CHAW- FORD's. They are mostly semi- trimmed and have medium sized. brims, though there are a certain number of emall cloche or turban shapes. One of the former, in scarlet tagel, has an amusing trim- ming of a vobweb embroidered in red and grey silk braid. I also saw a showcase full of very attrac tive white felt hats trimmed with corded or satin ribbon.

MOIRE AND POMPADOUR TAFETTAS.

The interest in both these dresses is concentrated on the left hip. That on the right intended for pompadour taffetas in silver and green has a true busile, bow, and an amusing bow of satin ribbon in a deeper tone green on the opposite shoulder. The other' frock carried out in honey coloured moiré, kas an extremely grace- ful cascade arrangement and should be necampanied by topas or red amber jewellery.
