In Egypt a woman’s paper, “Egyptienne,” is endeavouring to restore the old status of women, when as in the time of the Pharaohs their position was one of equality. Historians deduce that once married the Egyptian women of old times enjoyed both personal freedom and respect. To-day, the position is otherwise, but modernists are endeavouring to “bring back yesterday.” Among them is Madame Cheniya Hanen Riaz, who was instrumental in passing the law to protect girls from early marriage. • f • Beaded corselets on chiffon evening dresses are new. A rose pink chiffon frock made with a flounced skirt and a low cut, straight bodice, has a short, supple corselet of pink and silver beads worked on net; it hangs from the shoulders by narrow beaded straps. Another evening ornament is the big tulle chou which may be attached to a tuule band around the throat or be part of a scarf. On a black tulle and satin dress there is a scarf like this. The chou falls over the nape of the neck or under the right ear, and it may have a small diamond brooch or a coloured flower in it. Feather boas are worn in the evening; they are short and full. The colour of the feathers is chosen to go with the dress.
