Just think of an owls head-not a
little one ther-being perched on a
bonnet-the great eyes staring at
you. Yet this is what have seen
ut more than one fashionable milli-.
ner's. As for bugs, if were to tell
you the number I saw on one bonnet
you would never believe me. Who
could believe that more than one
hundred were gathered together; old
and young, big and little. But there
they were, not only large as lite, but
quite as natural, inasmucn as they
were real genuine Brazilian bugs
Among young ladies there ia such
rage for the Derby hat, that it is re.
