PARIs, March 91st. At this particularly awkward time of the year, known as a half season, hats, far more than dresses, are inclined to change and bear the brunt of the hundred and one whims that pass through de signers' heads. The main reason for this is that one season is waning and the com ing one not sufficiently at hand to war- rant the launching of any definite type or material. Designers are marking timo, as it were, and their fair clients are consoling themselves by buying hats and more hats and thus exciting modistes to ever fresh creative efforts.

In 1914 Castellaut treated the first case of kala azar by this means in Ceylon. The treatment was also carried out by Rogers and others in India. When it realized that this disease killed some 10 per cent. of it-victims before the treatment waS introduced, and that the treatment is elained to cure in the vast majority of cases, the enormous value of this dis covery can be realized. There are Ame- renn, Indian, and Mediterranean forms of this group of diseases. Antimony seems potent to cure them all, though it is still too soon to say that it is an absolute remedy.
The plainer type or morning hat will bo in leather, duvetyn or velvet, and will be piped with white or a contrasting colour; while a plain bag, usually made of-similar agterial, will be carried with it.
