4 Gossip We Must

If

I wonder why it is that a re«! porter will always describe the women's clothes and never the men'at Yet they take just as much trouble as we do, if not more. A man takes hours to choose a tier. goes into terrible trouble to find a pair of socks which will match hladley or the shirt which will match his socks. I was at Mac- kintosh's the other day, ordering pyjamas for my busband, and was watching a young Naval Officer I know, choosing a hat. I think he tried on about a hundred. With every single one of them he look- ed at himself in the mirror, walk- ed towards it, turned-back, lifted the hat up, put it on again, turn-`' ed it up at the back, then turned it down. inspected his profle, and' so on. I was terribly amused, and don't see why all these effortą should be totally ignored and und observed. I don't see why we should'nt describe men's clothes, I don't see why I would'nt say, for instance, that at the Races" last Saturday Captain Arthur Allan and Commander. Bockett-Pugh looked very smart and wintery in dark blue suits, that Captain Mac- Lean was just as smart in light Palm Beach, that Squadron Lea- der, P. C. Wood's cap was worn, at the very correct angle, that Mr D. D. McKay" in white fannel trousers and thick brown coat had that particular American chic, and it Mr. Jack Jordan was wearing his brown felt hat as all men ought to wear theirs..

Mrs. R. H. Charles snapped at the Races.

But I had better not continue this description; it will bore wo- men and men will only laugh and tease the ones whose names I've mentioned. I think, therefore, that, six victims are enough, and let me describe the ladies instead. Gosh! they were lovely! Mrs, G. L. Hi all in green, with that lovely com- plexdon of hers, looked like a dresden China gure, Mrs. D. D. McKay, another very smart Ame rican young lady, was in navy, blue and white. Mrs. Robin Gor- don was also in blue and white,
