Palais de Danse. The dance held by the Palais de Danse management on the evening of the King’s Birthday holiday a great success and most enjoyable for the patrons who attended.

Goulsbro, Miss Poad and Mr. Roloff., Spot fox trot, Miss Spooner and Mr J T. Bowen. Shop Window Ladies. Fashions change quickly in shop window dress show figures that it is difficult to keep pace with it. The old order of simpering and usually slightly hectic wax figures disappear 'd long ago. They have long since been supplanted by what looks like plasticine ones. And the latest of these are rather Cubist in form and negative in colouring. The latest styles in showwindow mannequins have rather remarkable hair and coiffures. The hair is dyed; one figure showing a canaryyellow head of hair, another emerald green and a third dead cotton white. Weldon’s Ladies’ Journal.

Felt Leaves For Hats. Felt, leaves, now popular as a hat trimming, are easily and quickly made from an old hat, and will modernise a newer one. Procure real leaves of the shape wanted—ivy, laurel and rhododendron are suitable. Press them under a weight or with a cool iron and lay them on the old hat, using the crown for those intended for a curved surface. Mark their positions roughly, cut the hat into convenient pieces, lay on the leaves again, pencil or chalk round them, leaving space for the short stems. Embroider in long or short stitch or crew-el outline the midribs with thick thread in either a lighter or a darker shade than the felt, and the veins with thinner thread. The stitches must not reach to the leaf edge. If liked half a leaf may be shaded by machining it up and down, but a conventional effect is necessary. Cut out the leaves to the pencil lines and press them face downwards under a cloth.
