lHs new and superatively seductive
drink called oil of roses. A cordial
in name only. it has none of the sticky,
sirupy components Of the other insipid
cordials, but has a peculiar almost
biting taste that appeals to the femi-

We owe the hat TO Asia, for II was In
that country that the art Of felting
wool was first known. and from the
most remote periods the art was car
ried on 10y the orieutals. In India,
China, Burma and Siam hats are
made Of straw, OF rattan, OF bamboo,
OF pith, of the leaf Of the TallpOrt
palm and Of a large variety of grasses.
The japanese made their hats Of pa
per. The modern hat can be traced
back 20 the petasurs worn by the an
cient Romans when on n journey. and
hats with brims were also used by the
earlier Greeks
II was not until after the Roman
conquest that the use OF hats began In
England A "hatte of biever," about
the middle Of the twelfth century, was
worn by one OF the mobiles Of the land.

which were worn at Edwards court
In 1910, when the Garter order was in
