Another pretty gown was of blue
foulard. The underskirt was entirely
of white with a deep flounce of ecru

I'D IARRITz shows nothing pret-
IN tier than the hats one sees IA all
LIZ times. Like the gowns of the
season they are in infinite variety and
every one seems pretty. One of the
features in hats is the ones with
strings. But few of these were worn
in Paris before the opening of the sea-
son, but here one sees them everywhere.
In materials and trimmings cream
lace, chiffon and tulle with large white
or black ostrich feathers and large
punches of red roses with black velvet
or white muslin strings, with numerous
paste buckles or those of brilliants are
the features of many of them.
OF the newer shapes the boat shape is
prominent. 1t is made usually in fine
cream straw, and trimmed with twists
ard loop bows of white chiffon, with
large gold buckles and group of white
wings.
One of the beautiful hats is of light
green braid. 1t is turned n little at one
side, with white roses resting on. the
hair. large frill pompon of black
chiffon edged with tiny ruching of
white chiffon. This pompon has a gold
buckle in the center that is edged with
brilliants. A lovely black ostrich
feather falls over the hat at each side.
Black chiffon strings caught at one
side in n coquettish bow with long
floating ends.
A pretty fawn hat has a crown that
is almost hidden with green leaves and
shaded pink roses. The brim is soft
ened with silk gauze and chiffon in
tones of pink and fawn.
One is in white straw, somewhat of a
mushroom shade, with the brim upheld
on one side by rosettes of black velvet,
and carried to the back. where long ends
are left for strings. A black velvet bow
with a pearl buckle, and very large
bunch of roses in front and at one side.

If the prince of Wales were not reso-
Lutte, unfiinchingly energetic, and the
essence of punctuality, he could not
possibly get through all he does every
day of his life. He is an early riser,
though he goes TO bed very late, and
even should daylight find him still busy
with his arrears of private correspond
ence he will be ready to get up when
called at eight o'clock. Practically the
only time his royal highness has to him
self is before the simple breakfast, of
which he pdrtakes alone about nine
o'clock, and the short time he has TO
snatch from public affairs after that
meal A breath of fresh morning air in
the pretty grounds of Marlborough
house braces him to face the enormous
piles Of letters that await his attention

There are so many mark down sales
about this season of the year. Every
one trying to see who can make the
greatest mark down. Did It ever occur
to you how high these same goods
must have been marked? IL isn't pos
sible that business can be conducted
without a great deal of expense, there
fore very high prices must be charged
on some goods to make up for the loss
entailed by such deep cuts. We make
it a rule to buy right and sell low all

T the goods in season and when others
are making desperate efforts to get rid
of the past seasons accumulations,
we have new seasonable goods at even
