Dame fashion takes liberties when she suggests that one may wear a Chinese mandarin’s skirt as an evening coat. Nevertheless it is being done a great deal by artistic people. The Wayside Studio, 113 Molesworth Street, have an interesting and valuable collection of Chinese embroideries. Mandarin dresses (skirt and coat) are exquisitely hand-embroidered and stiff with gold and silver. Chinese rosecolour ovster and blue, also scarlet are the colourings. Strips of embroidery for framed panels and unframed pieces are very decorative. Other pieces are stocked in various shapes and sizes to be psed for many different purposes, and several handsome cushions are featured.—Advt.
