An Act of Homage.
Looking at certain Paris collections, you realise how differently the mode is interpreted by each designer.
One expresses his personality by means of novel lines, another in perfect proportion and harmony of detail.
A model dress has “
personality."
It has been created as an act of homage to the loveliness of woman.

IN THE FELIX HAT SHOP.
The Felix Hat Shop are showing this week a delightful collection of crin straws. Most of them are made with those wide dropping brims which are now sa fashionable, and universally becoming. I noticed that there was a wide selection of | beige and off-brown tones, from the

FLOWERED-NINON FROCKS FROM PAMELA.
Pamela is now showing some exquisite frocks of flowered ninon for afternoon or evening wear, They are generally cut with longish skirts with the new rhythmic back- ward movement. Panele of every shape flutter from cunning curved hip lines sometimes so arranged, that except when the wearer is moving, you would not know that! the skirt was not cut all in one] piece.
One lovely dress which I s yesterday is arried out in very pale pink ninan printed with large tea roses in tones of misty blue and orange. Worn over a pink geor gette slip, the tones of the ninon become wonderfully soft and fragile looking.
The skirt is composed of long circular panels which are so arrang ed at the hip line that they fall with a ruffied edge. The hem of the under slip is bordered with the same ninon, so that when in repose the effect is that of a circular skirt. The neckline is interesting. The slip has a yoke of the minun also, and is cut with a circular neck edged with a narrow binding of orange. The neck of the dress follows the same line, but is cut ont fairly deep back and front, so that you get the effect of a double neckline.

Flowers are worn all the year 'round now, but they take an added importance during the months, and an added beauty. With tailor mades and coats the peat little button hole, often made of leather or felt, seems the most appropriate, but when the sun shines and we appear in organdica and voiles, Boating flower-like frocks of thin materials, the larger silken blossoms come to their own.
A delightful collection of flowers has just been received by the Felix Hat Shep. They are nearly all in pastel shades, and the lovely pinky gold and orchid tones are certain- ly the most prominent.

This is really a note for men. Many men here prefer to wear wash ing cotton ties in the summer but it has not been possible, previously, I believe, to get washing bow ties. They can now be found at WHITE- AWAY, LAIDLAW's in several nice de- signs of stripes and checks, and cost 75 cents each. They are of the May- fair Thistle pattern.
