there in the land of sunshine noticed that several OF

Partisan milners Then, quite suddenly, it was with US
And that will remain is quite certain, Tor these "'oe
trimmed hats are almost universally becoming.
Apropos of hats, 1 must record charming novelty
which made its debut at the last Aueu race meeung-
little veil of cobweb net which was decorated with
little violet made of ribbon These voets take the place
of the black velvet patches which have lately been SO

Another Partisan novelty at the same function
took the form of very high boots made of supple patent
leather These boots were laced at the side invisbly
and the leather soft that 1t moulded the 1901 DIS

This is strange fashion, especially so, coming as 1t
does at time when hip draperes are arranged in gen.

be seen at the back of certain sensational models
Slowly but very surely the trouser-skrt is taking Its
place in the front row. 1t is terrible garment but

It is understood that If future
demands point to the need for larger
subscriptions the committee or tho

present ruling.
