MILLINERY HYGIENE.

SECRETS OP THE TKADE BEVEALED. Secrets that have long been hidden from the trusting public were recently revealed to a representative of The Press, when recommendation led him up a short flight of stairs, at 81 Man- ' Chester street (above McPhail and Fisher's shop), into the showroom and factory of the "Paragon" Millinery Manufacturing Company. The proprietor, Mr Thos. H. Undrill, very kindly showed the writer over the factory, where fast running machinery, and powerful hydraulic presses operated by experts, fashioned silk, cotton, straw, and other materials into shapes and modes of the very latest style and finish. Every model is matie and fitted under the most hygienic conditions, for few people realise the dangers of infection caused by unlimited numbers "trying on" the same hat, and if intending buyers would only stop to think before indiscriminately placing hats on their heads, the risk of infection would be greatly minimised. A London expert in the production of millinery, modes, and fashions, whose services have been secured by the "Paragon" Millinery Company is at the service of customers, and when a particular model is decided upon, the head fitting measurements are taken and the shaping and blocking are then done "while you wait." This process entirely eliminates all danger of infection, and at the same time the model can be bought for little more than the actual cos*; of material and manufacture. "We are out to supply the public direct," said Mr Undrill, "and there are no high priced hats here, yet the quality of the finished article more than favourably compares with the highestpriced imported models that are being retailed elsewhere." It is evident, however, that this means of saving pounds in the direct buying of millinery has already found public favour, for during the Pressman's short visit attendants were kept busy and buyers left with an air of satisfaction and contentment hard to find amongst the buyers from retail shops. —1 Good health, in children is impossible with worms.
