PAPER HATS FOR LONG WEAR. CAN BE MADE AT HOME. The idea that a paper hat is only suitable for summer wear, and thaf it will not withstand rain, is quite erroneous.. A well-made paper hat is very durable, and no more subject to spoiling by rain than hats of other materials. In fact, it is very easy to make a paper hat waterproof, though as a rule, this is not necessary. Just at present, Christchurch women are fortunate in being able to obtain free lessons from an expert at Whitcombe and Tombs, Ltd., which firm is holding daily demonstrations in crepe paper work of all kinds and sealing-wax craft. Kiddies' hats are especially attractive when crocheted with Dennison Crepe—and when made in light colours, can be cleaned in benzine as easily as if they were of silk. Those who learnt Flower making and crepe rope weaving last year, will be interested to know that a new range of flowers has been added to the course, and fresh novelties may be made both in crepe paper rope and Dennison crepe. Moulding with sealing wax is a new craft that has justly sprung into popular favour. It opens the way to personal artistic expression in Hie making of a hundred and one "articles d'art"—from coloured beads and buttons, to jewel boxes and vases. Free instruction in sealing wax craft is also being given at Whitcombe's, and a few minutes spent watching the demonstrations will do more to explain the new field opened for women, than a column of print. AYhiteombe's are holding this free demonstration continuously from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. every day, and the lunch hour can be utilised by all who desire to do so. —6 An Tlxbridge resident, who has secured the tenancy of a house after a very, long wait, has named it Atlast.
