A BALL DRESS AT HONG KONG Plight of an Anjcrican Girl Who Had to Get One in a Hurry. Dressmaking in ' I long Kong is not one of the industries for which the city 1st famous, but that it is possible to get a gown there under pressure was shown by the experience of an American gin last spring. She was making a tour of the world with lief family and the woman had discarded evening dress after leaving San Fran cisco. satisfied that they would Iiave no need of any such garments In the Orient. With the idea of reducing the amount of the luggage the trunks containing their evening gowns wert shijMMl back from San Francisco ami they proceeded without them. But. no more than a few hours af ter f bey had reached Hong Kong an evening gown !egan to seem a sharp, 'nimliato necessity to the young woman or the party. She had met by chance an old friend, who came: across the American family as it was gronied in the centre of the baggage In lite corridor of the hotel. They were intimate enough not to recrard the abruptness of this meeting as em-. ba missing. An the other band, the- young .woman and her American friend were immediately In such close conversation that she had to be no tified twice that the rest of the party nau moveti on to tne suite set aside. ror them. Tm American was also makiog a tour of the world, traveling easily from place to place and linger ing just at that time in I long Kong He was enjoying life there ami want ...i . i . . . i . . ... m w' .iiirnrau Riri, especially us she was a particularly attractive iiee- imen or her Kind, to see the same phase of existence there that was in teresfing him. ITiat she was certain to d I him credit hat! its effect in increasing his desire to Introduce her. .There was to le a cotillon that night at the Eng Usli club. He had told her. of it al ntot as soon as their first greetings were over and he wanted tier-, to go with him. He would have card- sent to her and her mother ami one of the Lngbyh women, who was to act as a chaperon. Would call on her during-the day. All questions of eti quette were thus" satisfactorily set tled. , But the evening gown was lack ing and there seemed no way to "over come that obstacle. That discourag ing announcement marked the end of the meeting, but they were soon to -see each other again, and the young American settled himself for calm de iilerat'ou of the subject after he had written the letters which- were to se em e the - Invitations ami the visit from the chaperon. ' The young iuan advised her to go In any gown she happened to have He was perfectly certain that she would look all right in a travelling dress, that everylwxly would understand bow she happened to I plahilv drcKSf-d, and he addctl that he bad perfect confidence in her looking I tet ter than any other girl there, what ever she happened to wear. And then he assured her that there were a great many attractive girls to be there. He even went so far as to sng get that she mfght decorate herself in something Chinese, If she couldn't find anything else. This last suggestion led to the thought that there might after all be an evening dress of European mode for sale In Hong Kong. That Idea had not occurred to either of them .before. It was noon when they reached It. To find an evening gown, by that Dight seemed an Impossibility. But they had youth and determina tion on their side. Inquiry at the hotel brought out the encouraging news that there was a French woman in the city who imported gowns. It was not five minute after this newa that the girL her mother and the American cavalier were looking for the shop. They found it after a while, and the young man cooled his heel at the door, after seeing that the two were talking to a little dark eyed, gray-haired French woman, who spoke very little English - and relied on the services of her British hus band as interpreter, rather than trust to the French of her visitors.- Yes. she j had gowns. Tra veUing gowns, of , course, she- supposed the ladies f wanted. No? .Why, then, it must le a light silk or an organdie for a garden party. A luall dress, was It, that the two wanted? She, had some, only two or three, but for which of the ladies was it? For niaxla me, whose figure was beautiful, but somewhat heavier than made moiselle's, or for mademoiselle her self? She was afraid that most of her small stock was rather the size for madame than for her slender', graceful daughter. Most of the Wives of the officers stationed at Hong Kong were a little bit stout, but she would show what she had. i Then were produced lialf a dozen Pari ball 1 gowns, stamped with names of well-known makers. They were not more than a season liehind the styles and were not bad spec- linens of the model dress of commerce that is sent out from Paris over the civilized and half-civilized, world. But only one of them was anything like an approximate fit for the slin American girL Tlie dressmaker had told the truth. They were all very much lntter suited to her mother than to her. 'One gown only was possible in any way. It was of pale blue satin and the skirt , might have Iieen made I for her while none of the oth er came within six inches of the ground. But the waist was as little suited to her as the other had leeu. The heroine "of this episode did not projiose to !o baffled at this Lite hour. She proposed; to, the dresmaker that a new waisC; te made immediately. The woman gasjied, said something about tho rapidity of Americans, and then threw the burden of the conver-. satfou on her husband's shoulders. He was called upon to explain that tr-ore was no more of the material in the place. . I The explanation that white lace would do just as well had to be translated to the modist. She produced lace which was exactly suited to the purpose. Before five minutes had passed the woman was taking the -girl's, measure.: Then her two associates, a French woman ami a native sewing girl, were called In. Both looked astonished when they heard what the terrible' American ex7 pecteil. But half aa hour later they were at work. Three times during tbei afternoon thfr girl returned. At she left her maid there to help put on the finish ing touches, ax sue called In -per- son, accompanied by the cavalier, to carry home the dress. They had to .ously wounded at the battle of Mala waits for nearly an hour. But when boa., Mr. Jones ?ems to be prosper they started back to the hotel the 'Jng In his new home In Seattle, where three were carrying the white laeche has an excellent position with the waist with them.
