However you take it, this hi-annual event is unlike any other exhibition. Much more happens at it. There are so many demonstrations to be stared at, where some technician of beauty culture discusses his or her craft over some live model's mute, complacent face, hair, or hands. There was one demonstration today where the art of make-up was being illustrated on young women's backs; this never lacked a concourse.
Elsewhere there was an exhibition of wigs worn by Hollywood stars in various films. Charles Boyer's wig for the part of Napoleon in one film, "Marie Walewska," was the only male wig represented. Some of the "film fans" present seemed horrified, but the evidence was clear—their screen stars do constantly appear in false hair, even in modern reles.
Hankow's Grey Gates Then came the threat from the north and many Chinese fled to Chungking and elsewhere, Now there allis 1 OAR Ie uc mura rar are gates guarding the entrance in most of the SA.D/s and in SA.DS, which is the ex-British Concession, I believe there are as many as nine of them.
To travel from place to place in a humble rickshaw (and there are the most amazingly decrepit vehicles plying for hire—anything on wheels that will hold together is being used) is very difficult. One is continually encountering these sinister grey gates and being turned aside by stonyhearted soldiers to find another route. Many of the roads are "one-way," and they always seem to be "one way" in the opposite direction to which one wants to travel when in a rickshaw. Motor cars fare better. There are painted charts or sign boards that one can study in an attempt to locate the gates, but they usually help to make one more puzzled than ever.
The shops are half empty; some are shut, but others carry on bravely and charge enormous prices for what they have left on their shelves.
One can seldom go out for any length of time without hearing the wail of the sirens giving their grim warning of air raids. The Chinese iberi rush to their homes and to the protection of the S.A.D.'s. Steam launches hoot hoarsely and scuttle up and down the river, rushing to the pontoons like broods of ducklings swimming to safety. Many of the warnings fail to materialize, but the fear and alarm is real and there have been so many terrible raids that one cannot afford to ignore them.
Derelicts and Dancers Truly it is a depressing place to be in just now. Everyone is feeling the strain, and War is the monotonous topic of conversation. Wounded sold-jets go limping along the Bund,
