Prim little sailors with circumspect bows and neat little nosegays of buds perched right- in front will be favourites. And the jutting forward hats and the off-the-face models complete the distinct types, so everyone can find a hat to flat- ter.

Straight brima are out of date. It you want to be up-to-the- minute you bend the hat-brim over four nose and give it a good carve above the right ear, show- ing plenty of hair in the process. Small hats often have lace veils floating of the back like Second Empire hunting hats. No more

Both very interesting and woz- thy specimens, to be sure, and un- doubtedly deserving of a line in any standard dictionary. What we are about to consider, however, is a refinement of the above: The Species Extraordinary or Variety Beautiful, in short that rara avis. the Eligible Bachelor.

The phrase "eligible bachelor” in popular parlance implies an EI- married man blessed with social position and independent and plen- tiful means. The social graces are ̈ his birthright.

Perhaps the reason he survives, even in limited number, is less to his own credit than to the down- right stapidity of his hunters. Al- though the eligible bachelor is the the only rare specimen on which there is a year-round seaso no profound study of his habits and habitats has ever yet been made, Look what's been done with the
