ranung. q trouser-lik skirt, the end
Of which passes between the legs and
is looped at the waist in the back.
The Royal Household has changed
the panung into a pahsinh. or straight
line skirt, most becoming to the d.
munitive Queen. With the eye Of an
artist, she chooses gay colors for her
SiameSe costumes that enhance the
beauty of her luminous black eyes
and golden skin.
Four Years In France
In spite Of the fact that she wears
Siamese costumes exclusively in
Bangkok, selecting Paris models is q
pleasant task with which Queen
Rambaibarni Is thoroughly familiar,
for she lived in France four years be-
fore her marriage.
However, instead Of going to Paris
to shop, Paris In a fashion came to
Bangkok for the Queen of Siam. Her
Majesty permitted Paris to dictate
the general lines of her frocks and
gowns, but each model was fashioned
for her exclusively and could not be
reproduced. The burden of this al
most impossible demand fell on the
slender shoulders OF q real Partisan
nlodiste living here in Siam, Mile.
Sabine Rosenberg. who made the
shopping tripx to Paris.
Such a diverse wardrobe Is the
little Queen needed! Leaving trop-
ical Bangkok, the royal party went
to Singapore. almost at the Equator,
thence to Hong Kong and Shanghai,
where they knew they would over
take bitter winter. Thence to Japan
to visit the Emperor, just a little too
early to see the cherry blossoms. The
trip over from Japan to Vancouver
called for farm .furs, and many of
them, as did plans for crossing the
Canadian Rockies, but by the time
they reach Washington to be greeted
by President Hoover, spring will be In
the air and lightweight clothes in Or
Ger.

terials. filmy as lace itself. Each
gown she has has its own slippers,
hosiery, gloves, and even its own

are as varied as will be the occasions
which call for them, some for simple

has one formal gown Of exquisite or
child chiffon lame, with silver threads
