MILLINERY
shows a few changes for August worth
mentioning. Fancy feathers have again
been brought out in a great variety of
styles. Wings are mounted with small
palm breasts, and single or double birds
heads at the base. \ favOrite bird is the
Dronze-head turtle dove. Metallic effects
gold, steel. lead-cOlor and fancy froStings.
are used more extensively than before.
New frosted feather-leayes and oreilles

among the newest specimens Extensive
asSortments of ornamental metallic fancies,
such as springs, clasps and aigrette sprays,

Among the temptations to buy new bon
nets are poke shades of br2ids formed
of whole straw and the narrow beading
braid OF years ago. The effect Is something
like the basket-braiding seen in the straw
hats of two summers back, and ii is exceed
ingly pleasing. The latest fancy is to fin
ism these bonnets without facing of any
sort. Among the latest in both bonnets
and hats are trimmings of scrim scarfs or
ribbons. Pretty shade hats are of imported

most frequently TO order. and in many cases
to match costume for the specified occa-

courses. In reference to the millinery of
the autumn l am not prepared to speak
very definitely, as the importers upon whom
l depend for hints of early styles are them
selves still in doubt. However. we NAV
expect the reign of the faneiful in millinery
to continue, while lot of imported frames
for hats and bonnets show that the French
designers have been eXertlng their ingenuity
again in the production of the unique and
surprising. The hat of steeple or pointed
crown proves precursor of certain shapes
that will appear in the early weeks
OF the autumn. Among other shapes in
hats are those of very tall oval and of
square-peaked crowns with the brim narrow
at the back and broadening out and curled

A CURIOUS COUPLE
caught my eye down at Ocean Grove the
other day, and just about the same time the
parents Of the feminine member caught
them. They were standing on the shore of
Wesley lake, which is a little sheet of water
separating the great Methodist resort from
Asbury Park. 1t was evening. An avn
ing screened them from casual observation.
The music of waltz came across the
moonlit lake from ball that was going on
at an Asbury hotel. The young mans
right arm encircled the maiden's waist anu
his left hand clasped her hand. while their
faces were close together enough to touch.
if they didn't.
Hi, there. Sophy," said the father.
But they didn't let go.
''Ho, there, Sophy," said the mother.
Still they remained entwined.
Were doing no harm" coOlly explained
the girl. This is a still waltz. The law
of Ocean Grove forbids dancing. but il
doesn't say that couple sha'nt assume the
attitude of walters and stand motionlesS
to the music across the lake"
