NEVER UNTIDY.
PRAISE OF CHINESE WOMEN. “Only one race of women are never untidy, never fused or bothered in appearance, always perfeeetly dressed, immaculate in face, hands and hair, have perfect carriage, and charming, modest manners. They are the Chinese.” This is the view of Miss Helen M. Davis, a Singapore fashion expert. “The Chinese women are the best dressed women in the world to-day,” she said, “and the Shanghai dress is the loveliest style yet invented. Not all the dressmakers of London, Paris and New York have evolved a more useful or more .flattering frock.” Miss Davis, an Englishwoman, said that British and French women “cut their clothes in odd pieces, vary the natural waist and disguise the beauty of their bodies with bulky material.”
