Many Fashionable Dresses Seen

LOVELY COLOURS

By Rosette

Enjoyable things always have an aftermath. So it was with the Charity Ball at the Hong- kung Hotel on Friday nighi, for recuperation from the ef- fects (hertof prevented us go.. ing down to the Races on Saturday, thereby missing, so we are told, some really beautl- fal dresses.

There were not very many peo- ple at the Course, however, and in that respect we did not miss much : still, it would have been interest- ing to have seen how Mrs. Eu Tong-sen, Mrs. Raymond Pin, Mrs. Alice Kwok, Mrs. Mol Hng-wing, } @ Mrs. Frank Grose and Miss Phyllis Grose, amongst others, looked.

The second day of the Race meeting yesterday found many: more people present, the sun was out, the riding very good, and, as usual, Dame Fortune eluded us. We were "compensated somewhat in our admiration of the beauty and colour everywhere, both of faces" and of clothes.
