CORRESPONDENCE,

To the Editor of the "Hangkang

The Question of Compensation.

Sir-With regard to the SUZ- gested compensation for the relatives of those killed and in- jured in the Shatin shooting affair. I have not yet heard of] any compensation being paid to the relatives of Chief Officer Nicholson, 9.9. Shai On. 10 in- nocent man (not a lawbreaker) abot dead by Chinese pirates, or to the relatives of Chief Officer Evans, .8. Tai On, who was also killed by pirates, or to the master of A river steamer who is still without an ey- You said at the time that the Officers": Guild did their utmost to g compensation for the last-named,; but that China was in such a state of chaos that nothing could be had of its Government.

There have been scores of other British and foreign lives taken by Chinese brigands and pirates, and before compensation is paid to lawbreakers. the Government! should ask for and demand it :) Chins for the above and other cases.

Yours etc. MASTER MABINER. Hongkong, March 24, 1929.

BY MARIAN HALE After a period of drapings which have concealed lines, good and bad, there is a strong tendency toward return of the well-defined

waist line.

Sashes, like the one shown on this trock, are rarely made of material similar to that of the dress itself. This is ninon rashed

with indestructible voile and

beaded at the edge to give it weight.

Chiffon is being used much for sashes and one finds that instead

of hemming it, it is simply cut and allowed to frag at will! Chiffon thus treated is an ad- mirable sash medium and is used

a frocks for day wear as well as evening.
