Mary Grace chooses THE RIGHT HAT..

VERY season the fashion- mongers shake us out of a com- placent mood, and send us rushing helter skelter through - our wardrobe wondering why our clothes seem wrong. This time hats and winter coats are causing the trouble, especially coats.

The uniform shawl-like, snug fitting collars of the last few years have dis- appeared. Fur collars have flattened out. Kevers are shoulder wide maybe, but the as a collar, has narrowed off to

antly nothing at the back.

It is only luxurious fox fur that enables us to snuggle down into the enveloping

depths of cont, collar.

As we have lost those face-traming collars, hats, will have to be considered from

different angle.

You'll admire the silver fox, lovely silver tips enhanced by the black density of the darker parts of the pelt. Velvet. is its com- plement, eo, in the hats now to be acen in the shops, we find soft pull-on beret or cap shapes in this attractive fabric that it closely to the head.

No air spaces, mark you, otherwise your collar will tip your hat forward or side- ways. It's the angle that counts, and the upward slant of the high front must not be spoilt.

There is an Eskimo touch about millin- ery trimmed with fox talls. The newest why is to wear then round the edge of a flat turban shape.

After town come country coats with their loose casual lines, belted or unbelted to sult individual tastes. Widespread revers, but collars narrow off towards the back and pull up closely into the neckline. Here, again, a style brimless at back is most comfortable.

All-round brims are allowed with flat or low, close fitting necks and collarless de- signs. Many of these no-collar modela sport a tiny edging of a favourite pelt. The star turn of the season is Persian tamb un black cloth and felt, and in the third illustration is shown a small flat collar with a hat designed to give the necessary width and height to the top part of the figure,

A fur so soft and supple as Persian lamb is particularly amenable to hat trimming. and many spiral shapes wind upwards with felt and this favoured fur cunningly worked together.

Block up their holes, too, with large corks dipped in water and cayenne pepper. That is more than a gentle hint. Subterfuge comes next. A mouse will risk anything for bacon rind, raw meat, tallow and fat of any kind, Tresh and toasted cheese. These tasty bits will attract them and lure them into the trap.

As far as possible handle traps with sticks, so that they carry no human scent. Before resetting scald with boiling water.

Ten to twenty mice can be caught in a night with a trap that stands twelve inches high. Appetising food is placed behind iron bars and the front door left open.
