A BOX OF HATS.
FELT, SATIN, AND VELVET.
When I paid my weekly visit to the Dolly Vardon Hat Shep a big box of hata which had just arrived was opened for my delection. It was particularly interest as it con- tained so many different expres alons of the millinery mode of this SCASOD

The jumper is made rather like a coat and opens aver a vest of gay and pretty and novel in design. and it is really a delightful game to lift off the lid and see what will be inside. A game which is prob- ably more enjoyed by the parchaser than the render, but they were very kind about it and let ine play as long as I liked!

For The Afternoon
Then for the afternoon. Perhaps my first favourite is a very chic dress of navy georgette, which is ent rather like a jumper suit although actually in one piece. pleated jabot falls from the nent white collar, and the same effect is "arranged in the front of the skirt. The little turn back cuffs are also white.
Another navy dresa, this time in crêpe de chine has a series of broad tucks round the bips to give it linge, with a simple damauté buckle as its ornament."
For Evening Wear.
For evening wear I fell in love with an all black frock of crépe de chine and lace which was very simple and elegant, and a pretty little lemon yellow frock trimmed with a panel and skirt of knife plenting.
