After waiting a long period, the Balcaman grew suspicious and follow- ing enquiries he made a report of the matter to the police. On Sunday, Li was arrested when she was recog- nised in the street by an employer of the Trading Company.

This morning, she was charged with obtaining goods by false pretences before Mr. K. M. A. Burnett at the Kowloon Maglatracy and was sen- tenced to five months' hard labour.

Li said that the cuse was made up by a man named Chan, to whom she handed the goods on leaving the Hotel. She had been promised $20 for her part in the trick. She did not know his present whereabouts.

Moth in the Carpet

Some one his found moth eggs i her carpet and asks what she can do about it.

The treatment for the corpel should be rather a thorough one, as the

eggs laid by the adult moth usually hatch out within

week, it

and once the larvae emerge

the

destructive work begins! The cocoon which they spin sometimes develops the adult moth in two to seven weeks, so that when there is damp, warmish weather the results of their activities can be really alarming.

I would recommend that the eggs und maggots are first dealt with by steaming the carpet thoroughly wherever the traces are found. Go over the entire surface with vacuum turn cleaner, or sweeper, and then back the carpet where the trent- ment is needed.

Lay a piece of flannel, wrung out in very hot water, over the part, and iron with a hot iron for a time, until the material is practically dry. and thus allow the steam to pene- trate well. Repeat wherever neces- penc- sary, judging by the steam trailon as to whether the treatment. is adequate. Leave the carpet turned until fully dried, then spray the floor-boards well with some suitable moth spray, and sprinkle powdered alum freely before re-laying the carpet.

be called the Summer brides- mald's fabrica-sheer materials that make up into romance frocks.

Garden Fates

If you've got a garden party or two on your date-list this pattern again would see you through with honours. Especially if you only go to one a year and consequently don't want to waste a frock when money is all too scarce. Make it up in a suitable material and you can wear it for dances well on into the autumn.

There are some lovely now designs in synthetic ninon, which you can get quite cheaply. Some have small flower motifs set in squiggly-line squares that are a solid colour against a white or pastel background. Or there are some roman stripe effects, but instead of being solid some of the stripes are made up of little squares.

For all these full-length ver- sions you will need the quanti- tics of materials I quoted for the dance frock. If, however, you want to make the calf-length version for best day-time wear

or for informal evening parties, the following lengths of 35in. fabric will do. Size 30, 3%yd.;; size 31. 3yd.; size 32, 33, 3yd.; size 34, 37%yd.; size 35, dyd.; size 36, 4yd.; size 38, 4yd.

Children should not have slimu- lants. A graph showing how much one's vitality has "gone up" after taking a stimulot will also show that the reaction is twice as great! Carrot Juice is a good beneficial tonic, very suitable for children.
