BANKOK AND SILK.

HATS THAT ARE "DIFFERENT."

The spring millinery is at first sight so simple in line and trimming that one wonders how any hats. can be diferent. But it is just when styles are simple that real artistry tells and there is so strik- ing a difference between the mass production article and that which is the creation of an artist.

The hats which you will find on the shelves of the Dolly Vardon Hat Shop come under this second category. They are all hand made, and designed for particular facial types. A consignment of hats ar rives every ten days from America. the lateat lot in are mostly bankoks and small hats of stitched silk, there are also some tagels and new fancy

straws.

Among the bankoks is a charming hat of true apple green. The brim, of fairly big proportions, is prettily pleated. A pale apple green bankok takes modified poke bonnet lines. There are several black bankoks which are extremely smart with their tailored appearance. One of them has the brim folded up con- certina--wise, in front and secured there with a pin. The brim of an- other is turned flat back against the crown in front and trimmed with a narrow edging of gros grain.

The hats of stitched silk are light and pretty. Some of them are trimmed with straw as, for example. one of blue crêpe de chine, pattern, ed with oyster and a touch of red. Two "quills" of blue straw are crossed in front. Brown and white patterned silk makes another" neat little hat with a small brim, and
