YEE SANG FAT CO,

This new and charming spring model for street wear is hobbled to an extent that would have been fashionable in 1910;

THE LATEST VEILS,

Veils are very froakieh this season, both in the matter of shape anddesign. The latest valiation is round like a lamhape or table centre, and it is arranged on a hat so that the back falls shorter than the front; it is bunched up at each side, and finished with a fancy jin. The new veils have a very wide mesh. When woven of fine silk, the general effect created is rather that of a kind of fancy work made by boping strands of the finest silk tape together, than of an ordinary machine made fabric. The mesh, as a rule, is circular or curved, although many aftrictivo varieties show a guara mesh in imitation ₫ the coarse filet nets of the fisherfolk.

Fringes and ancy- trimming are no longer used. The latest vel is quite plaio, and plies entirely on the originality of its mesh for efect. Against the face, hese out-sizes in meshes and designs look most orignal andamart. They are rately seen in any aber shade but blask.:

The "jockey" hat is one of the latest whims. The shape shows a front. brim that bends over the face, slopes off at the sides to anch an extent that the edge of the crown is exposed, and rests on the coil of hair at the back. Some- times the brim is slit at the sides, and turned upwards at a sharp angle that vaguely suggests the effect of a Spanish comb. This back piece is invariably trimmed in some way or other-feather quilla, a fan of heron's feathers that look like sprays of seaweed carefully dried and prepared.

Another original model which is far easier to wear is a marquis shape, made about two sizes larger than the traditional size of such hats. This is more after the style of the hat worn by the courtiers in the days of Louis XVL, and it has an elegant cock. ade of feathers at the side.

A USE FOR OLD VELVET.

When frocks and blouses of velvet or velveteen become past wearing, they can be put to an- other use.

Velvet is the ideal polishing cloth, and will outshine chamois leather-or linen. It works like magic on brass, silver, shoes, furniture and floors.

A good plan is to cut up the parts of old garments into pieces about half a yard square-for polishing cloth and the small parts, such as sleeves, into.little pieces for making pads. The latter can be stuffed with cuttings of linings or old cotton garments, previously washed.

Smart vanity cases are word. now about the wrist. They some in black enamel, jewelled or plain, and fuished about the wrist with a cord from which bangs a long black tassel. 一番

The combination of jade and diamonds is a pleasing one when it occurs in a pair of sar-rings. The carved jade drop suspends from a double chain of tiny: diamonds.

The newest bracelets are worn as near the shoulder as possible. They are jewelled or enamelled so that they give an effect of bar- baris colour.

QUAINT NOVELTIES,

There is an amusing umbrella that has a short, koobby stick with just a stomp of a tail to it, and when it opens out it looks like a cross between Japanese umbrells and s lamp-shade.

The latest pencil casa. is somewhat in the nature of a surprise packet; it has
