AN ACUTE POINT
to the right side and curled back: and vary
ing the brims of plain braid, there are
shapes with the cap crown sf plain braid
aud the brim, more or less conspicuous, of
fancy braid. A shape that promises TO be
popular, which barely escapes the little
princess size. has a melon-shaped crown
rising to point in the center, and the
head-pece fitted TO this crown with an
argow, projecting edge and narrow
slightly-flaring brim. A shape, with an
ice-cream mold, is that of small bonnet,
which rises in the crown TO an acute point.
with three OVERLAPPING pieces placed on each
side following the pointed crown in form.
Pretty models of this shape are in fancy
braid OF beige color and pale ecru. Modif-
cations of the shape with the crescent brim
have the brim turned back all around, with
little capOtes formed of n broad piece of
straw, followed down on the top. with the
crown folded into shapes straight down the
center, and slightly flaring in the brim.
Gauze. woven of metallic threads is often
used as foundation for small demi-saison
bonnets, with tulle or Grape pulled over ii.
One very pretty bonnet of this kind,
hemmed around with double row of large
FURNISHED green pearls, is loosely covered
with dark, watercreSS- green tulle. on which
are worked flowers i'm pale primrose silk.
The decoration consists of an aigrette COM
posed of vertical loops of primrose and
green faille ribbon. the former placed i'm the
middle OF the other, and couple of large
yellow velvet roses fastened to the top of
the crown behind the bows. Another gold
gauze capote is covered loosely with plain
black net. 1t is tied with lilac fallie strings,
and
TRIMMED VERY GENEROUSLY
with plenty of yellow and lilac pansies, and
little knot of Palma violets with their
leaves forming an aigrette. Colored tulle
and crepe liSSe will also be worn a great
deal during spring. With respect to color
fashion is very electric. / have seen tulle
or Grape bonnetS of almost every color dur
ing the last week or SO. Tulle is often used
double or triple and put on Hat; liSse is
more often drawn on the wire frame itself;
so are the sprigged and spotted net bOnnets.
Here is small capote with a corOnet brim
tout of which Nandyke is cut at the top,
the whole made drawn mauve liSSe: il is
trimmed with mass of mauve hyacinth
and two or three sprays of white aigrette.
Ribbons will hold almost as important
place in the millinery of the future as they
do in that of the present. Two and half
to four inches are the favorite widths.
Very few, if any, figured ribbons will be
worn, the nearest approach 10 fancy rib
bOnS being those in gauZe framed in with a
satin stripe. Plain satin meryeilleuX with
picot edge claim pre-emnence. but velvet
hoolyaI wit OF md adfr
Dicot will be maintained also, even for
bonnets of transparent materials. GauZe
ribbons with a narrow satin edge and mer-
YeilleuX ribbons bOrdered with a stripe of
gauze are among the novelties. A willow
green straw bonnet may be tied with gauZe
ribbon of the same hue, and be further
decorated with pale pink velvet ribbon and
pink roses; or beige straw capote, bor-
dered with pearls tinted TO match, have
beige gauZe ribbon strings and bows on the
top, with a single knot to give brilllancy of
tone.
MY DREAM OF A BOYCOTT
Against fellows who treat our sex fnpo-
litely, or who talk recklesSly about us, as l
narrated it last week, seems to have deeply
interested my readers, for / am in receipt
of many letters from women and girls, and
the burden of what they write is a wish
that the vision were true. was impressed
myself and L have dreamed agan-just
like continued story, too, for / begin
right where l had left off. The girls of
the secret league you remember, had
ck-balled an offending man. But, as L
dreamed anew, one white ball was found
among the blacks i'm the box.
"WhO casts a white ballOt?" said the
presidentess, sternly; lis there fair lady
here who would honor foul knight?"
Il cast it" said palefaced girl; II cast
it in the hOpe-I mean the thought-that
there might be more. Walter Lander and
l were engaged to be married (sensaiion).
We are so no longer. bow to the will of
the Order. Oh, girls; he nev-nev-never
spoke that-that way TOTO me-" and the
poor girl let loose flood OF tears and fell
into her seat sObbing, and with her face
buried in her folded arms. 1t was rather
a ticklish situation, and l Il was there)
could see 1t had not been provided for i'm
the bylaws.
The lady president Molly Van K-)
went solemnly to the bulletin board and
wrote the name walter Lander" while
Lucille and little black-halred dumping
of girl tried simultaneously to hug the
weeping member back to tranquility.
When the meeting broke up l went to
the bulletin board and read the names of
the bOycotted persons there recorded. l

authors dead two centuries ago, painters of
worldwide fame, poets. sculptOrS, public
men and women and young swells moving
in the very same ''sets" as the girls Poor
Byron was way up top. and Bougereau, the
painter, was next in order; so there
were also Chaucer and Balzac and the
royal authOreSS Of the HeptamerOn
and poor old Laurence Stene and Oscar
Wilde and Patti and Bernhardt and-what
do you think?-the Old Testament-reallv.
that was there as well as hundred things
living, dead, mortal and insensate.
Tell me about it, dear" said to Lucille
afterward; ''are you going to set fire to the
Hudson OF immOrality?"
Now. don't guy u.s." said Lucille: "we
aren't bit silly or visionary. We are
simply decent girls, all members of the Sill
yer Cross, who have gone step further
and propose TO boycott any man or woman
or thing who treats virtue or woman or
honor or marriage at all lightly: any one
who puts impure thoughts into words spo-
ken or written. or who lives an incorrect
life of any sort,
WE'RE GOING TO CUT 'EM,
All OF 'em, and we're going to let them
know why in every case. Walter Lander
will get printed notice to-night-a regu-
lar printed formula, announcing that he is
'boycotted for opinions, sentiments, actions
or behavior unbeeoming gentleman and
