| THE CHARM OF THE LARGE HAT
All women, from Eliza Hig- gins" the flower girl to the highest in the land, have a hankering for large hats Convention demands that we bow down to the dictates of madame la mode. It is only Eliza and her sisters who dare to wear their highats winter and summer, year in and year out, and they too are getting eo sophistic ated that they are giving them up in favour of the cloche and the beret.

It is no wonder that we all like big hats for flower girl, merry widow or duchess, we nearly all look our best in them, especially when they are soft in line end colour, and simple in trimming That explains the continued triumph of the big erin hat which came so suddenly into favour last zumner at a period when small close fitting ahapes seemed to have firmly established themselves. This summer the crins take all sorts of shapes. Sometimes the big brim is allowed to droop softly at the sides, sometimes it is turned back and stands up in front like a Russian headdress or the petals of a flower, "again it may be draped and twisted, wide one side and narrow the other. ...
The Dolly Vardon Hat Shop stood sponsor for the first crins last year, and nearly every woman "fell for them," as they say across the Pacific. This season the same shop is showing them again in their most exquisite and fascinating form.

There are all sorts of fascinating. pyjama sets now to be found, at the Pioneer Silk Store. The newest are called "Novelty," and consist of pyjama suit, morning gown and handkerchief, packed in 2 nent little bag. All are made of satin crêpe and embroidered with sprays of flowers Put up in a bag in this way, one of these sets would make a most welcome present for a friend at Honie or one who is going on a journey. I liked parti- cularly a black set embroidered with burnt orange, and blue with embroidery in cyclamen pinks.
