The charming custom that ladies must return to their seats round the walls. after each dance was rigidly adhered to, with the result that the brilliant colours of many lovely dresses turned the room into a veritable flower-garden!

Madame Miranda herself looked wonderful in a graceful gown of white satin veiled with black lace delicately threaded with white. and with a shoulder-spray of white and black roses.

Madame Angelina Santos (wife of the Private secretary, Dr. Rocha Santos) wore a dress of dead-black which threw up her fair skin to perfection?

Mrs. Clara Garcias looked dazz- ling in a dress of carnation colours, with a deep border of tiny velvet flowers studied with diamante which entranced her piquante beauty. Another lovely gown Was worn by Miss Coneta Kunes-of smoke-gray Crepe-de-Chine with neck-ruffle and a tiny muft of parma-violets and a violet slippers to match.

It will not be out of place to recall some of the events connect- ed with the proclamation of the Portuguese Republic and the deve- lopment of the Nations, economi- cally and politically since the 5th of October, 1810, '

The confusion that followed the change of the political regime in Portugal in 1910, the uncertainty in those days of the future of the Infant Republic, and the political situation in Europe at the time, when the proclamation of a new Republic was not looked upon with by the monarchical sympathy governments of the time, contri-

Credit was limited, social and political difficulties were created by ideas Then of an advanced character.

guided by a strong impulse of patriotism, the military movement of May 28, 1927, saved the 'nation from chaos and ruin..

Reviewing the history of the Portuguese Republic we can not but pay tribute to President Car- mona, the man who has contrl- buted so much to the success of the present political regime of Portugal, and also to Dr. Oliveira Salazar the Prime Minister of Portugal, whose management of the national finances. has enabled Portugal to enjoy an enviable financial position among nations of the present-day.
