for you IL you are considering making
your own dress hat this year. The
first Is simple cuffed turban, with
nothing more than veil to garnish 1t.
Just fold sufficient brocade over the
right shape Of buckram foundation,
tack It here and there--not too many
tacks, remember. for that means I'M
beautiful stlffness-and drape the
whole with a fine meshe5 veil edged
with dainty bit of soutaching.
If you are small of Stature and you
would create the Illusion of increased
height, by all means select turban
like this one after the Russian. The
brocade idea Is tremendously effective
on just such Il hat. And u large, grace.
fully draped veil with dainty shadow
lace border and huge chenille dots does
a deal In the way Of setting things Off.

Toys for the Riddles.

Great Britain Is now exporting to
all parts of the world toys to the
annual value of 100000. Her ex.
ports to Argentine consist of most
expensive scientific toys. French toys,
made by disabled French soldiers. are
very popular in Argentine. They are
for the most part caricatures of not
able personages. The Swiss send musi-
cal boxes. the japanese cheap cloth
dolls, and the United States hand.
power vehicles. Mechanical toys are
the fayorites-

along each edge.
At the right hat Of deep blue satin
Is made with rows of blue braid stitch
ed on the upper brlm and crown. The
blue Is vivid, somewhat lighter than
sapphire, and makes just the right
background for the odd japanese
leaves and berries that form u wreath
about the crown. II Is hard to describe
anything so unlike the usual millinery
flowers. The cOlOrs are odd, grayish
green and yellows and white. Only the
Japs know what these queer leaves
are made of and after they have ex-
planned the inqulsitlve fashion writer
knows no more than she did before.
Anyway they appear to have found just
the right back ground, In the clear blue
of the hat and the wreath makes way
for bow of velvet In the same blue
