FELIX ON HATS.

THE MORE DECORATIVE AUTUMN MODE.

of MADASIE LA MUDE for some time.. Parisiennes too, are taking the same line, but with a different aspect. Hats are quite definitely to be trimmed of that there is no.

more valuable, it may have left the silversmith's hands but yes- terday in all its gleaming beauty, and you vow that craftsmanship is as good to-day as it was when Cellini worked at his bench..

But you may say that every one clse gives silver, that the young couple do not want to be snowed under by ten spoons. You are first wrong and then right. Nearly every one thinks that every one else will give silver, but for that very reason many people do not, and as for tea spoons there is an infinite choice beyond these useful articles. Take a walk with me round Lane, Crawford's and widen your horizon.

In LANE, CRAWFORD's perfume department I saw some charming manicure sets, They are prettily housed in decorative boxes and the instruments backed with enamel in various colours. I saw that they also had some charming boxes of fancy handkies for the children, and one or two chic and inexpensive bags for their mammes. I think the dearest was only $12.

The modern week-end bag is to be found at the DoLLY VARDON HAT SKOP. It is called the "Daisy de Luxe Bag." and is made of a special fabric with an alligator or lizard grain, which is water proof and dust proof. In shape like round bat box, one of these bags will carry 2 or 3 bats, an evening frock, or two, slippers, toilet articles, etc., suficient for a week-end. The bag is very light indeed, is nicely lined with convenient pockets in- side, and closes with a zipper Fastening. The bag can be carried over the arm thus leaving both hands free, and even when packed is very light.

Many people here have been getting these bags for bathing. or shopping, as they are very chic in appearance and of a convenient size.

PAMELA is holding the finale of ber sale next week when there will be very special bargains to be had. Sore most exciting new goods have arrived including afternoon" and evening dresses and chic hats for all occasions.
