They are usually a little darker in ton; than the chiffon. BARBARIC JEWELRY Barbaric bracelets are in vogue and may be worn in great numbers.

Inci- dentally, it may be used 10 a dessert with sugar and cream. SUMMER CEREALS In summertime cooked cereals_are much more interesting com 1fne:1 with fresh fruit or berries than without.

WALLACE BEERY IN DAYLIGHT COMEDY Wallace Beery, enactor of scores of ehara iter and comedy roles, and Raymond Hatton, will appear in "We're in the Navy Now," which ar- rives at the Grand on Friday. Beery and Hatton are sea.n as a couple of greenhorne who enter the navy much against their vile In fact, they were entirely •oblivious of the fact that they had bee nor: sail- ors until they tried to leave the nav- al training camp. Then they were informed via the verse nbov,a that "they were in the' navy now:!" Not taking it at all serion:.c, the boys had asked where food was Le- ine distributed. A long line outside one of"tho buildings was poielge cut. They joined it, but instead of gottime nourishment ---got haircuts, vaeeinn tions, and awful fitting uln'ormr, Still in pursuit of lunch th t' then joined another line only • to di;ceeer that the start of it was leered on an army transport which was about to leave for France. That's enough fun for an ordinary •comedy but we are informed that there's nothing the least hit ordin- ary about "We're In the Navy Now.'' What you have just. read is merely a record of the events in the fins: few reels. The picture ie pac;ce.•d wi,n laugh -getting gags of the type which made "Behind the Front" :och :t bit. "The White Empresses of the Pacific" Astriking note of interest comes in one of the first announcements -for 1927 from the office of the Chair- man of the Canadian Pacific Steam- ships, Mr. E. W. Beatty. "The White Empresses of the Pacific" will again be the connecting transporta- t ton link between Canada att n the Orient. The company's att palatial pys p i t al fleet of monster steamships on the Pacific ocean will assume its former glory of being garbed in white. The Empress of Asia will arrive in Vancouver on Jan. 24, and will be the first to arrive in Canadian waters epic an' span in white paint. Accord- ing to the official order, the white paint will be topped off by a suitable shade of Pacific blue around the sheer line streak of the vessels; Tide wad used When the three -funnel fleet was :formerly painted white, and the effect acclaimed the ships among the Most attractive in world commerce. On Feb. 18 the blue-ribbon ship of the Pacific, the 21 600 ton Empress of Canada, will arripe in Vancouver clad in white. , Holding the Pacific seed record p of fifteendYa s, twenty- one ono hours from Hongkong to Van- couver and from Yokohama to the Canadian port in eight days, ten hours and fifty-three minutes the blue line from stem to stern Will be a fitting tribute to the flagship's power and to Canada's enterprising trade relations with the Far East.

Their service is augmented by being the important link between Europe and the Orient by one transportation system, the largest in the world, the Canadian Pacific. Sailing in both directions every three weeks, these ships, which are the last word in floating architecture, have attained great popularity with the worlda ll tr ve erg They have carried to the markets of the world the treasures of Oriental merchandise as well.ar vast s a c saes of such com- modities as tea and rice. In the world war these Empresses played no small part in the protection of the Allied. interests on the Pacific. In eonsequenco the announcement from the chief executive of the company to the effect that the fleet is, again to be known as "The White Empresses of the Pacific" meets with; popular favor.
