I felt a terrible desire this week to be greedy, and to keep all these delightful “* Anda " to myself," but when I realised the many hearts these delightful things. would gladden I decided to share my "neway bits" on dress.

LANE CRAWFORDS have most wonderful show of hats. They are refreshingly new in inspiration and design. I memorised the de- tails of a few of the models that made me very envious:-
A beige creation with a crown of Bakua straw and a georgette-over ed brim. Felt flowers with mark. ings of poker "work encircled the crown.
Avery shady hat of black mohair straw, the brim covered with red and grey printed georgette.
