able shapes are those in shapes rising to a
peaked crown, which crown is a peculiar
feature in this seasons bOnnetS. not only in
the shapes which rise in the crown to an
acute point, but in the style of trimming
which gives the peaked effect. The brim in
front is small, pointed poke, or it forms in
front switch, which is bent up i'll point.
Round hats. turbans. tongues, coaching
hats and all sorts of hats are trimmed with
flowers at the moment. Trimmings at
the back and sides bid fair to eclipse
the towering front garnitureS which
nave been so popular, and bid fair to re-
main in vogue to a considerable extent for
at least one more season. Velvet-faced
brlmS are again seen on hats, even on those
intended for midsummer wear. The height
OF piled flowers and ribbons on the top of
hats already high in themselves is causing
considerable inward profanity among men
at the theaterS, no doubt, and il it should
once break out the language would be APP
palling. BY the way, young married ac-
quaintance of mine undertook to cure her
husband of his small vices of language, etc.,
by Il system of mild fines. He agreed, and
a regular schedule was made out. Swearing
cost him 10 cents word; missing dinner
hour, % cents; coming home with whisky
on his breath. so cents, and so on. up to
s. Tor staying out after midnight unaccom-
panied by his frau. Well.
IT WORKED ALONG
all right for awhile, and she had about $40
in the treasury, when one day the whole
structure of the system was knocked into
more bits than prairie shed by cyclone.
What caused it? Why. she caught him
kissing the pretty maid servant.
Make the fine $50 and FL stand ii" he
humbly cried
The schedule doesn't run up to any
such figure or crime" she screamed, and
she flew at him with her finger-nails out
like the claws of an enraged cat.
During the ensuing week he told his
friends that in his professional experiments
as chemist he had been caught in an eX-
plosion OF some chemical compound. He
hoped he wasn't dishgured for life, but he
wasn't sure.
The most deceitful reports are received
from Paris, where fashions in bonnetS are
presumed to have their source. The very
latest are to the effect that the top-lotty
styles are considered decidedly vulgar, and
that trimmings have been much modified in
their dimensions. Let us pray that this
may be the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth, but see no reason for
believing it. Here in New York there is
an unsettled and varying taste i'll hats. A
month ago there seemed an
INCLINATION TO MODIFICATION
of the close, taut hats of the winter, and
shapes of the kind are among the number
brought out in the season for the latest; but
there is very little doubt that our women
show preference for wider and more ca
PRECIOUS brims. Favor is disposed to a shape
with tall, tapering crown, the brim mar
row at the back, widening out at the Sides,
curling upon the right side, fiat at the left
and projecting in front, and this shape is
well adapted to the masSing of the trim
ming at the left side, which now varies the
trimming i'll front and at the left of the
front. A new green on some of the bon
nets and hats takes the name of Parnell, and
is very lovely shade of emerald-iuSt the
tint to captivate the pretty women who love
to wear the green, and who have the warm
blood of the eXiles from the Emerald Isle in
their veins. Pale faces can not wear the
Parnell green, but fOrid. brunetUeS and
rosy blondes looks dazzling with this charm
ing green near their faces. 1t greatly en-
hances the luSter of the eyes, as well as the
bloom of their cheeks. A bright girl, who
deeply sympathizes with the recent move
ment to suppress the slaughter of song-birds
for millinery purposes, says she is in a di-
lemma. She has lovely oriole. which has
been all ornament for some one of her hats
for years, and she doesn't know what to do
with it. Its plumage just suits the tones of
dress she most affects. She has grown to
love the little dead creature and hates to
part with it; but she says she will never
DARE TO WEAR HIM AGAIN.
1t is an awful responsibility. Nor are

suit. New York has comparatively few
milIiners who do business on their own ac-
count and for themselves nowadays. The
woman milliner's shop is rapidly becoming
a thing of the past. All the best milliners,
men as well as women, are absorbedsins the
great dry goods and fancy goods houses.
and the millinery department has become
an essential Torture in every great retail dry
goods business in New York, and in such
stores in every large city in the country.
Handsomer hats and bonnets are
found generally in those departments
that can be seen in any small shop, and
there is of course. a greater variety 20
choose from. Truly that variety is enor-
nous this spring.
The dear handles are taking flowers to
their breasts i'll considerable punches, and l
shouldn't be surprised to soon see them
putting ribbons and posies on their hats.
How curious it is that things charming to
femininity are SO disgustingly foolish in
men? A slim dude with a bouquet on his
lapel is enough to make one sick. The
decoration ON the undulous bosom of a
pretty girl is delightful enough, but far
from it when pinned to a meatless fellows
wishbone.

the assertion of a lawyer in court the other
day. The Rev. Mr.. Crowley had been
hauled up fer running bogus charity es-
tablishment for children. Some fashi0na-
Bile ladies were there as witnesses that they
had contributed money to him. Photo
graphs were put in evidence showing ema-
citation in the forms of some of the children.
