JAPANESE SILKS PROVE THEIR WORTH
British women can obtain French frocks and French materials in Burma —“but at a price,” said Mrs. J. M. Thorburu, who is at present in Sydney. “The French crepe dc chcncs and gcorgctlns do not stand the elimato as well as Japanese, and I well remember ono night, when I thought I looked very ehio in a lovely French creation. Suddenly I felt a little more breeziness than there should have been, and, looking down, I found, to my horror, that half the dress had fallen away—just like a gas mantle when you touch it;, since then I’ve pinned my faith to Eastern silks.”
