all the white man knew of New
France was the st. Lawrence to the

out to explore it.
Champlain carried his arquebus and
took with him two French argue

Hurons and Algonquins. They went
up the River Richelieu in canoes. This
river and Lake Champlain were the

on the site Of Ticonderoga and the
battle began.

While women have shown q DISPOSE

sions, and the large hat for the first
time in many seasons is conspicuously
featured, they have not waned in their
allegiance to the small close hat so
admirably adapted to the present sill

narrow brims which Reboux first in

such chic have been the inspiration for
other models carried out in felt, We
lours and velvet, which as the season
advances becomes increasingly impor-

In keeping with the vogue for small
