Three ostrich tips, mounted very high, with
velvet bands held by buckles, enoircing the
crown, is a popular mode OF trimming English
walking hats. Some Of the new hats have the

Bangs.
The dressing of the hair has much to do with
the choice Of a bonnet It has been mooted
question for some months whether the "bang'
shall be or not be, and tn sc who have returned
from watering places report that it is singular
and surprising to see how many women, maids,
and matrons appear On the strand aud at the
hops with smooth hair, plainly divided in the
CENTER guitiess alike Of bang, wave or frIzzing.
Perhaps there is a solid fact at the bottom Of
| t!is, to wit: that sea air is lamentably deficient
in it's appreciation of bangs and frzzes and uses
successfully every effor N Its power to reduce
their beauty to ugiiness If, however, We may
be allowed to quote again from the sam5
source as above will give the 70 lowing an
ecdote as 81 better and more striking accsuua-

Girls Who Copy Lanstry.
There is an easily detected tendency on the
part of certain of the more progressive of the
| fair sex assembled here, says a Narragansett
| letter to the Providence Press, to
get themselves up as near like unto
Mrs. Langtry as possible. There
is a familiar one at hotel hops, in the vicinity
| Of the rocks, and on the bathing beach.
| So closely does she resemble the guileless
! Langtry in face, dress, and bearing. that an
| involuntary exclamation of surprise arose from
| the lips Of well-known theatrical manager,
| with whom your correspondent was convers-
| ing as she passed She is truly second edi-
! ton of the famous English woman, when su-
perfcially viewed, and possibly it might not be
! regarded as horrid libel if the assertion were
| made that the resemblance is the result of a
carefully studied toilet, with the photograp hs
of the Jersey actress as o model A few days
