LOVELY WHITE AND CHERRY-COL-OURED HAT. SCARF. AND PARASOL.

A COMBINATION OF PRETTY THINGS. Dresses all white, worn with coloured millinery, a coloured scarf, and a coloured parasol, look charmingly quaint. The set depicted in this column would make a charming accompaniment to a toilette for the races, or some great garden fete in a country park. There is quite a rustic air about the dainty vandykes of white chiffon with cherry-coloured embroidered edges that overhang the brim of the hat, above a softly gauged white lining. At the top of the hat, cherrycoloured velvet mingles with small scar let cornflowers, arranged with precision quite flat upon the brim, and at the back the note of colour is again struck by a number of loops of cherry velvet. The very wide scarf that accompanies this hat is reminiscent of the early Vic-

torian period, and is intended to bo worn carelessly draped over the arms. White chiffon composes it. painted by hand, with groups of cherry-coloured and mauve flowers, and there are ruffles at the edge of soft billowing chiffon. The parasol matches the set in every detail.

A black pongee silk bathing costume, trimmed with lace and black silk braid and mother-of-pearl buckles.

A navy blue serge trimmed with cream woollen insertion.

A cloak of red molleton with large white spots with hood and high collar, fastened with red satin ribbons. Dutch cap of oilskin with red woollen rosettes.
