STYLISH .cCYNrRIcITIEs.
A short time since. . well dressed lady
came toward me, but she seemed to have
forgotten her bonnet. Not . trace Of 1t
was visible. Regarding her therefore with
attention, observed a she passed that =
small something hung on the back OF her
head. 1t was her hat. The same day I
saw another and yet another lady wearing
| 4 hat suspended In like manner, which 50
far as front vision went, served In no.
wise the legitimate purpose OF n hat. OF
course there were NO strings, for that
would have transformed these decidedly
useless sppendsRes into bonnets. At pres
eut the sight Is no longer rare one. Now
aud then may be seen what 10 Ill propriety
may be termed . winged hat. Specimens
OF this species are made entirely Of wings.
Quite small ones are used and you may
imagine the lumber required. The turbsn
shape Is preferred for . display Of these
| remarkable efforts OF millinery skill and
the wings project out Ia every direction
like 80 many thorus on . brisr bush. A
finishing touch 10 given by . bird (some-
times quite large ose) end tbs wings are
OF every possible and impossible color put
together. Yet such hat does not attract
any very great attention. One does not
turn to look st is, for our eyes have grown
used to anything in the way Of birds and
birds plumage- The other evening lady
appeared wearing . costume sdorned with
At lessttwo dozen differently colored bisds;
most Of them quite large and not . few
with wings extended. Bus some were quite
small; notably on the corsags where two
humminE birds were placed on one side,
against one larger bird on the other. A
little bird was psrched on each sleeve at
the elbow (whers the sleeve ended) and
one Was st the back Of the neck. 10
JEwxLRY,
the latest thing 10 the kerchief pin. which
owes Its origin, rise and progress to the silk
'kerchief craze which has overtaken us this
winter. Almos, every lady you meet wears
silk 'kerchief tucked In around her neck.
and now the seekers after novelties are su-
peraddlng an ornamental pin, just such
pin as gentlemen have for long time worn
In their neck tles-that 10 SO Tar - the fun

satisfied with all sorts OF heads making wry
faces At you, skulls and cross bones, or II
they ventured away from these things,
contented themselves with tobacco pipes,

bouquets OF howerets, minute and fairy fern
leaves, frosted bells and fifty other such
pretty notions.
PROPHECY or SPRING.
Cashmere ideas will lead next summer.
"Cashmere" thus used. has nothing TO do
with that highly respectable material 30
called and which Is generally understood
to belong to the family OF merinos. The
derived from the vale Of Cashmere 10 India
and Is used to signify Oriental ideas iu
many Offering varieties, but bearing gen
eral rssemblsnces which we Immediately
recognize. Cashmere materials have been
among the most elegant used this winter,
both In millinery and costume and now the
latest agony 10 cashmere stockings. All
this IL excellent. The western people stand
hrst where sewing machines, pianos and
such like are concerned, and We electr,fy
the world with our electric lights. but for
much that Is beautiful. We must scknowl-
edge the OrentAls as our svpersors and
therefore We do we'll I. copy after them.
Speaking Of pianos, reminds me Of the fact
that some Of the most elegant New Years
gifts made here were Hsines Bros. pianos.
All their instruments are excellent and OF
superior workmanship, but = special de-

rights which not only swbo1y ell the latest
and best ideas but have special features Of
their own. An important one ID that their
uPriahts have three strings. while those Of
other makers have only two. Their num-

NEW DEPARrCRE.
Among original devices the publishers Of
that well known periodical. Ehrich's FASH
Ion Quarterly, hsve hit upon the idea Of
Offering their magazine free to oil who may
subscribe to other magazines through their

pincott, the Atlantic Monthly, ETC., who
desires to renew bis subscription has only
TO forward the usual price OF the periodical

At the disposal Of every family free Of
