4 Gossip We Must

LAST SATURDAY NIGHT

There was so much to tell you about last time that my usual Saturday night at the Hong Kong Hotel feature had to be carried over. I am afraid I must have forgotten quite a number of frocks in the meantime, but bere are a few that have stuck in by memory as exceptionally at- tractive.

THE POPULARITY OF VELVET -

Now that it is really beginning to feel like winter a number of velvet dresses are making their appearance, both for day and evening. Mrs. Hunter, for in~ stance, was wearing a most in- teresting sult and matching hat of night blue velvet, Mrs. Kemble wore the new uncrushable kind with a feather boa, and Mrs. Hugh Jones. (looking very well after her spell of home leave) was in deep purple, with a high-in-front neck. (A delight-- ful fashion, this, to look at, but

not so comfortable to wear, for it leaves a most chilly patch across one's shoulders at the back!).- BLACK VERSUS COLOURS

This is the first time for several years that colours have so en- tirely outnumbered blacks. Miss Hay-Eadle was in black, and so was Mrs. Barry, but the latter had added one of those delight- ful little silver sequin' capes.. As for colours... Mrs. Croucher wore scarlet, Mrs. Alexander a most intriguing red and white check, Mrs. Buyers pink, with a pink and black ruching round the low neckline; Miss Mildred Lane wore blue, and Miss Hop- kins green. Mrs.. Younghusband also wore -pink, and Mrs. Beck was in .white with" -a deep berthe. I was badly placed for noting the spectators. but I remember seeing Mrs. Booth, in an afternoon frock of small-patterned blue and white crepe de chine, chatting to several friends,

MISS FEARON.

AT THE SAILORS & SOLDIERS

HOME

We went to the usual fort- nightly dance last Monday and enjoyed it immensely. Mr. Ronnie True, and the Cheero' Band were in marvellous form, and gave us all the tunes from '42nd Street with tremendous gusto. «It seem-

ed an absolute tragedy to have to stop at eleven-I could have

BY STELLA'

MAJOR H. 8. L. DOWBIGGIN AND DAUGHTER

Mrs. True in a spotted design of orange and brown, and Miss Minna Withamina autumnal browns and reds on a black background. The Commodore and Mrs. Ellott came for half an hour or so; she was also in flowered chiffon. Mrs. Comptori wore a backless frock of black lace, Mrs Platt was in bisek georgette with a white Japanese coat, and Miss Ann Dodwell in black with a delightful short coatee of rose yelvet. Mrs. Mellor was there, wearing royal blue lace, and Miss Susun Potter In green, with frilled sleeves and sash of net. (I hear her flance, Mr. Mossop is to be allowed out of hospital in time to eat his Christmas dinner!). Two others

of the younger set were Miss Mary Witham in almond green and Miss Shella Johnson in orange," with a brown velvet coat. KEEN GOLFERS.

I was surprised to find so many people playing golf at Deep Water Bay on Tuesday. Fanling is sucti an attraction.

Mrs. Waddington was looking. very smart in a brown and belge suit,-while her partner Mrs. -An- durBori," was "wearing one of those new brown, and white check skirts.

Mrs. Tod in black and white." was having a good game with Mrs. Mackenzie who was very wise, to be wearing a thin dress. They were joined later by Mrs. Burton, and Mrs. Wilde the latter having just returned from home.

Mrs. Shannon and Mrs. Fiddes- Wilson were also enjoying a game, while Mra. Raymond and friends were spending a quiet afternoon, enjoying the scenery. DATES TO REMEMBER.

Don't forget the Naval Review In the Happy Valley this morn- ing-it sholld be well worth

.watching. Then to-night and to-morrow we are to have the Nativity Play in the Cathedral. Saturday I expect we shall all spend in a feverish last-minute hunt for all the presents we have -forgotten to buy, and on Sunday we have Christmas Eve and the Christmas tree to decorate. That reminds me--I must set to work and paint my fr cones. The children have been busy collect- "Ing them for weeks, and there is a little row of brightly coloured' enamels waiting in the store cup- board-gold and silver, yellow and scarlet and royal blue. You wily be able to recognise me till well after Christmas by the paint on my hands]

SOME OF THE DRESSES *

Frinted georgettes and chiffons, were in most favour. Mrs, Tinson wore red and white, Mrs. Holmes red and grey; her sister. Mias "Nicholls, was in orange and white. Then there was Mrs Emithers in green and white,
