Aprou fronts are sometimes mude to the on over slim fitting skirts, so that the frock can be worn with or

Kowloon Offence

When L. Gibson appeared on re- mand before Mr. Q. A. A. Macfadyen i at the Kowloon Magistracy on Satur- day he was convicted on a charge of driving his motor-cycle at a speed dangerous to the pubile at the junc- tion of Prince Edward Road and Waterloo Road on May 6.

It was previously maintained by Sgt. Rothwell that Gibson overtook a car too near the road Junction and took the corner at n speed faster than was usual.

The case was brought following a collision with a Chinese pedestrian at the junction of the two Ronds, and which caused Gibson and a lady pillion passenger to be thrown off the motor-cycle.

On Saturday, Mr. A. E. E. Jestries, who was called by the defence, sald he had been 80 yards away. He did not pay particular attention to the cycle until he noticed it wobbling; at the same time a dark form fell to the ground to the right of the cycle.

Gibson was also summoned for failing to notify the Police of his change of address. He stated that be obtained his licenco through

the Volunteers and had reported the change of address to that quarter. Gibson was cautioned on this sum- mons, and fined $25 on the other.

Photos Requirod

Notes For The Needlewoman

WHEN tablecloths are badly worn,

'applique some motifs of lace on the right Bido and carefully cut away the worn pari behind. A ba- lanced design should, of course, be almed at, each insertion being placed so that a ring, square or triangle is formed. The lace effect is charming and much more pleasing to the eye than a damn.

Choose closely woven patterns of a knitted shawl or coat for the young baby. Small fingers become easily entangled in wide stitches.

Material for binding must be cut on the true blas. Fold the cloth so that the wrap or lengthways threads are parallel to the welt or crossways threads, and cut along this fold.

When embroidering with wool leave the stitches very sinck to allow for shrinkage In washing; again, use wool- n silk thread for the seams in len garment. The elasticity of the silk will prevent it, snapping like a cotton thread when the scams are pressed open.

A plain Haen tea or luncheon get gains distinction with simple tower applique, the blossoms or spraya bu ing cut from oddments of chiniz, cre- tonne, or broende.

In one charming set of cream linen seen recently, a circle of shaded cre- tonno roses had been appliqued to the centre of the teacloth, while on each corner of the mail napkins nestled rosebud and leat, each flower being of a faintly different strade.

YOUTHFUL FROCKS

for Summer

ALL kinds of feminine detail are used to em-

phasise the youthfulness and gaiety of our new frocks, which, with their simple bodices. and swing skirts, are more pretty and becoming than they have been for several seasons.

I like so much the frocks with skirt, and bodice- in a contrasting shade, and a bolero to match the skirt, These frocks and boleros make ensembles which are not only practical but pretty, because they don't look too dressed up for ordinary dates nor yet too dull for gala ones.

This is the type of frock which will do duty atl through the summer, not only for holidays and short week-ends but for ordinary work-a-day occasions.
