Sitting quite near Mr. and Mrs. Biggar were Major and Mrs, Duclos who enjoyed the show as much as anybody else, judging by the happy smiles they wore when they came out of the theatre.

Two very attractive young ladies who were also present were the Misses Hancock-the daughters of Mr. "Dick" Hancock. Miss Han- cock wore a blue printed crepe | SMUGGLING dress while her sister had on a brown printed georgette, and they | both looked radiant.

The above are but a few of the dresses I saw.

charming ladies? As usual, they were very much in the background in their conventional mess jackets.
