PARIS USES FUR FELT AND FINE LACE STRAWS.

I enjoyed seeing a collection of French millinery, which has just been received in Lane, Crawford's Ladies' Salon. There is something About Parisian millinery styles which is destinctive and charming although it must be admitted that the more original creations do not us a general rule suit English wear ers. This collection, however, bus been well chesed and all the bats are destinetly. wearable."

First I saw a lot of white fur felts. These are mostly largish shapes with soft drooping brims. They are very simply trimmed with a band of ribbon-in one ease the band was of pale lemon linen; in another of rude braided with silver-in a fairly bright colour. Some of them have small insertions of very fine silk straw which really looks like lacé. One has three little bands of this inserted in the i briin, another, a smaller shape, has similar insertions on the crown. The effect ia as though real lace insertion had been let into, the felt.

These are a change from printed and patterned materials, and the em- broidery designs are many of them new and very attractive. Suits like this are a great comfort for negligée wear in the summer, and the graceful coat quite does away with the underwear look which some women do not like.

years! This spring they are to be seen again, and no one will wish them away for they are generally becoming. There are several scarlet hats which merit attention among the new spring collection at the Felix Hat Shop. One folded turban of tagel straw is interesting because what looks at first sight like the front with the decorative pin is really the back! Another large shape has a very attractive folded brim which droops at the sides. And is trimmed with a "ribbon" of the same straw.

Some more of those popular little bridge coats which many women have found so useful to refurbish an old dress, have come in, in new designs and colourings, also Kayser and Hole proof silk stockings with clocs.

SPRING TIME FROCKS.

GAY WITH COLOUR, AND AMUSING” IN CUT.

Never have frocks been so gay as these who have just ar rived for our spring wear. They are made of brightly patterned broadclothe and prints which vie with a garden bed of annuale for their delightful mélange of clear, bright colour." And in addition to their gaiety they are subtly and beautifully cut. Many of them look simple enough as they hang on the peg, but their simplicity is like the apparent unsophistication of the young people they are destined to so fitly adorn. In point of fact, if you come to examine them, you will find a real complexity of cut. Queerly shaped pieces are put in in the oddest places. Strap-". pings, gungings, tiny frills and bows, all add their part to the delightful whole.

The use of plain, strong colour with a patterned fabric is most effective, and, in accordance with the general tendency to wards brightness, this plain colour is not infrequently pillar-box red, or clear apple green. Most of the little dresses in the pie ture have tiny sleeves, but there are equally attractive models which are cut well away on the shoulder. Some of them have the new gun-tan back as well.

A collection of frocks similar to those in the illustration, ar- rived about a fortnight age at the Dolly Vardon Hat Shop. Although it was really cold at the time they sold rapidly, and a fresh shipment was immediately ordered. Undoubtedly it was, in part, the extremely reasonable price, 815, which was the attraction, but the fracks, as they say, "sold them selves."

Besides the prints there are some mest attractive linens and organdies to be found in the same shop. But then one expecta delightul frocks from the home of such delightful hats!
