I The King's stock of uniforms is to receive yet another addition, tho kilt of the Black Watch, of which regiment his Majesty has just become honorary coloncj (states "The Queen" of April 19). A special envoy was sent up from tlio regiment (now quartered at Aldershot) on this important occasion, and to lum tiie King- granted nil intorvicwi 60 that thero might be no mistake in the measurements of t'his latest addition to his Majesty s already extensive military wardrobe, Troubles for Madame Melba. Madame Jlelba has had n trying time during her' "rest," states the "British Australasian" of April 17. At the end of a triumphant provincial tour, she went to her Paris flat in the Avenue Henri Martin, the beautiful furnishing and fitting of which she spent much time and thought over.

Futurist Gowns Already. It is no longer a secret what we are to wear and how wo are to wear it, writes a London correspondent of April 17. ■ At Lucilo's wonderful show on Tuesday, it was revealed to us that draperies are to bo narrow at the feet, ample at tho hips, with the waist in tho natural position, but high in front, and slightly overhung by Hie bodice at the back. Coats aro to bo bolted, and wo must show a triangle of neck. Lucile, who is Lady Duff-Gordon, gives'her gowns pretty names; if things to eat are called by enticing names, why not things to wear also, thus we had "The First Kiss"—a calling suit in pink oharmeuse. "My Best Girl" was a bluo tussore, and "Tho Maiden's Blush,' an evening dress in rofes petnlsatin. "Hitchy ICoo" was a pale blue serge outdoor dress. As for the evening gowns, they were dreams, magnificent dreams. Needless to say very slight, light dreams as regarded the corsage; in fact, a dream is a littlo too substantial a word to use in connection with them. They might be describe cd as tho "corsage that never' was on land or sea." In most cases they were of chiffon, and one know there were sleeves, for diamante embroidery, or jewels in many cases, glistened somewhere on tho shoulder, or near the elbow of tho delightful pink and white dimpled, perfectly modelled mannequins showing them off. Ono gown that attracted much notice, and will certainly Iks widely copied, was cf whito satiil, with a high black velvet belL from which depended a long black velvet end, which formed the train. Another gown, a splendid creation, was a Futurist theatre gown called "Folles Gresses." It was of blue chiffon over green net, oinbroidered with grape ' clusters in largo pearls. FeiJding Notes.
