Some of us will recall the musical comedy, Miss Hook of Holland, and remember the song which ran:
"I've a pretty pink patti from Peter, And a pretty blue patti from John, And one blue and yellow from some other fellow, And one that I haven't got on, 1 have one made of lovely red flannel Which came from an Amsterdam store, But the point that I'm at. mun The point that we are at is, ladies, that you will soon have to wear pettieoats. again, lots and lots of them, almost as many as Miss Hook, or such is the prediction of one Shanghai stylist. She showed us one already made up which had taken eleven yards of Chinese taffeta. Apparently we are going to "rustle" as we walk. The Swish-swish of silken skirts will again be heard in the land; frou frou modes are coming in and the question is, shall we submit? If Dame Fashion really sets down her foot and points the way in this direction it is likely that we shall. We may ignore the little word "obey"
