ONE HUNDRED HATS.
"One hundred hats at 83," doesn't it sound tempting, especially when the hats come from the Dally Varden Hat Shop! One hundred hats, black, white, blue, red, green and yellow; large hate, small bats, saucy hata and simple hats, one hundred chic hats, each one of which I should like to buy. "And as if that was not enough there are fifty hats at 87.50.
But when buying hats it is not quite a question of you pays your money and you takes your choice The choice of a hat is more serious
than that, your headgear can make
DI' mar your ensemble, and do "wonderful and fearful" things to your, face. No, hate must not be chosen frivolously, you should have on the dress which you intend to wear with the hat when you try it on, for a chic ensemble depends not only on the colour, but on line and the general motive of your clothes. It is folly to go and try on a hat on one of those "off days" from which even great beauties suffer at times, or when your hair badly needs a shampoo or waving.
Choose a 7 good" day, review your wardrobe, and then go along to the Dolly Vardon Hat Shop, and secure one of these wonderful bar- gains, and the next day you will probably go again in a different frock for another hat.
SENSIBLE-AND
SMART.
Men are fond of being witty at the expense of feminine footwear, but if one of thess jesters had ne companied me when I paid a visit to Lane, Crawford's' Ladies' Salon the other day to look at shoes his jeats would have been silenced in envy. Of course, he would have got at me in,, another way for no woman could resist those fascinat ing rows of abces set out for the Bale at such very reasonable prices, and, though I went to look at brogues, I bought two pairs of after- noon slippers which could hardly be termed sensible" though they are perfectly delightful!

That is by the way, it's the brogues I want to talk about here. First there are the famous Cotton- Oxford's, new design with a special storm weited sole. They are made of velvet soft leather and the special ankle tie gives them & perfect fit. Cotton-Oxford shoes are. absolutely water proof and give splendid wear. There are other brogues-a single strap model which can be bad with either leather or crépe soles, and is as smart as it is practical. An interesting item of information is that "Monk" shape shoes are once more fashionable and a consignment is expected within a few days They were worn you will remember about 1920, and are most becoming with the long point- ed front piece which runs up over the instep under a buckle or strap.
PIONEER NEWS.
The new summer weight haori coats at the Pioneer Silk Store are quito delightful. Some are made of unlined georgette lightly printed with a design in one colour, white with a pattern of ostrich feathers in blue outline very much pleased me. Others are lined and made of thin crêpe de chine. Of these I noticed one in-sealing wax red, lined with white and with a white outline design which was most at- tractive.
SEMI-TAILORED FROCKS.
The semi-tailored silk frock is the favourite wear of many Smart women for morning and early after.. noon because it always looks trim and chic. It has an added attrac tion in this climate. A dress of some thin material, voile or minon, needs a fairly substantial petticoat, or two thin onès, underneath it, if it is to look well, whereas a dress of closely woven silk can be worn over well eut knickers of the same material.

ATTENTION TO EYES.
Increase
your Bourility
tally deficient or at least below par Often children are adjudged men- because their eyes, usually through poor vision, make their progress in school low. In a large percentage of cases of this type the outlook is completely changed, when the eye condition, is properly treated and corrected.
Wrong posture, holding books and other cbjects close to the eyes, or sitting with the bead bent far for- ward when school materials are lying on top of the desk is almost asure, sign of poor vision of one type or another. Occasionally one sees a child with his head tilted to one side. Although the eyes may look perfectly normal, this is a pretty good indication that two or more at the eye muscles are not normally balanced and thereby cause him to see double when he tries to hold his head straight.
Among the conditions pointing
to the need of attention to the eyes are nervousness, manifested by blinking, frowning, inability to con centrate, restlessness and St. Vitus dance.
Styes are the most frequent dis- ease of the lids of the eyes. They are really boils and are easily re- cognized by the inflamed tender swelling near the edge of the lid that develop a yellow center after two or three days. Frequently there is a tender lump in front of the eat on the same side. If left untreated they rupture spontaneous- ly and discharge yellow pus and a thick core.
"At the first sign of a style, treat- ment should be started in order to prevent its bursting and discharg- ing, because the pus will start new atres and a whole crop may follow with more serious, complications.
Very often ones sees inflamma- tion and scaling or crusting on the edges of the lids with more or less. congestion of the lining of the lids. and perhaps also the covering of the eyeball. This 'trouble is quite chronic and may be due to eye- strain, run down condition of the patient, or to certain skin diseases.
This should receive rather strenu ous treatment. and the general health of the patient should be cared for.
