Handkerchiefs.
LANE, CRAWFORD's have some most delightful coloured hankics in cotton and linen to 1:30 with summer frocks. I particularly liked the linen ones in all shades trimmed with fine veining, but the printed ones are also most attractive and beyond any quick attempt at des- cription. Suffice it to say that what- ever your taste in fancy hankies may } be you can find it here.

This shop is justly famous locally for their lovely fur- nishing materials, and I hear that the latest shipment contains. some especially attractive patterns. It would bo well to go, esrly as cretonnes always sell quickly and you may find that your favourite pattern has been already bought up if you put it off too long.
Silk Rain Coats.
There are some wonderfully cheap Bilk raincents in very pretty colours in WHITEAWAY, LAIDLAW's. They run from $8.50 to about $28 and are all guaranteed to keep out heavy rain.
MANILA DRESSES.
REVIVAL OF A POPULAR FASHION...
Towards the end of last summer a number of smart women here were wearing muslin frocks smocked and embroidered in Manila. So popular and charming was this style that I was very glad to see that it is to bo fashionable again this year. Lane, Crawford's have quite a big shipment of Marils dresses and the delightful thing about them is that no two are alike. They are in a wide range of pastel shades, some with smocking others without, and the embroidery is different on each ons. It would not be possible here to describe them all, but you could hardly fail to and one you liked although it would be harder to decide which you liked the best. They cost about $25 and are made some with and others without sleeves.
