his means of travel very much and
didn't hesitate to criticize. Santa

MODES OF THE MOMENT

For the semi-dres occasion the

vet or brocaded ribbon is usurping the
place of the beaded gown. A long
lined black charmeuse has wide bands
of electric blue velvet ribbon extend
ing from the dropped shoulder to below
the elbow where the charmeuse begins
again. White beads in tiny design
almost entirely cover the velvet. No
other trimming is used.
Many of the velvel mats have revers-

and embroidered effects of metallic
cloth on the other. This treatment

Crepe weaves continue to reign for

Ronubuk Monastery in Tibet.

The Rongbuk monastery is one of
the holiest in all Tibet, the lama HIM
self being an incarnation of the god
Chenraylay. This god, although i'm
portant, holds Il minor place in the 0i-
vine hierarchy. He has the eXtraor-
dinary capacity of being able contin-
ually to change his face.
This wonderfully situated monastery
lies at the head of the Rongbuk val
ley, in full view of Everest. and is
probably the highest in Tibet. 1t is
visited annually by large numbers of
Buddhist deyotees. No animals are
allowed to be killed in the valley, and
all sheep that are required for the
consumption of the expeditions have
to be killed as far down rs the vii
lage of Chobu, which must be mt least
10 miles from the base camp.
