HOLIDAY CLOTHES.
Pretty clothes, good weather, congenial company, are the essen tials for a successful holiday, writes a correspondent.
And, of course, the greatest of these is Clothes.

HATS BECOMING TO
EVERY FACE.
This year a picturesque trend in midsummer mortes appears that has not been so well deined in a de- ende. It presents types 'greatly varied as to silhouette, their inter- pretation in matters of fabric, colour and detail offering a wido choice and uncommonly ingenious idons and contrast. Hats have carried forward the pictorial theme in no uncertain manner as a com- pleting costume hote wherein colour churm and fabric diversity havo inspired the utmost variation of contour as well. The unppy re- sults of so expert a co-ordination between costume and millinery groups are now on view in exclu- sive, moderate, and popular price shops.
The development of fine straws of unfamiliar construction, light in weight end of a supple, fabric-like draping quality, has also brought forward fabrics for brim hats, fol lowing upon their great spring attccess in turban and beret styles. Increased acceptance of fine cottons for formal wear is reflected in the disposal of leading modisten to adopt such materials as organdie, eyelet-embroidered batiste and the many amartly designed newer cotton Inces recently brought out in the dress field,
Handled in the most approved ensemble manner, hata may now be found in each of these increasingly successful cottons in the better shops. Each of them also finds sponsors who prefer to combine them with the decoratively beauti- ful atraws of the mid-senson and with the mesh effects.
