travel precisely as she appeared in
Broadway on a blizzard day, writes
Clara Belle to the Cincinnati Enquirer
from New York. Her dear little red
nose rested cOntrastingly on the white
fur of the boa. above which her delicate
pink ears arose prettily. White boas
hug the bellies OF the promenade eXten-
sively now, and are nightly becoming,
too. They would render us girls COM
Portable enough if it wasn't for the
other concurrent fashion of distended
bustles. Let an actual street dialogue
explain.
You look coy and warm, uncle, with
your fur collar turned up that way"
said a girl to her dads brother.
YES he replied: lit prevents the
wind from blowing through my whisk-
erS."
And wish to goodness responded
the maiden. with a SILVER that shook
the draperieS of her skirts. and made
her little feet patter a jig on the side
walk, ''that my boa would keep the
wind from blowing through my hustle"
1 show you most delightful product
of the cold spell, below-the girl who
looks warm, whether she is or not. So
placid, sweet and calm is she that no
boIy knows whether the high color OH
her face is frigid or torrid, and anyhow,
1t isn't horrid. and the snakiSh boa
seems to have charmed the dove on her
hat. just as she herself hOOd0OS every
masculine observer.
SPEAKING OF HATS,
The bonnet or hat was formerly chosen
with less regard in material or color to
the costume or robe with which it was
to be worn. But now uniformity in the
peculiar toilet, following ideas that OBJ
tain in Paris, is said to be the latest
sense of the mode. The ladies' tailor is
expected to send piece of the cloth
with which he makes the street or prom
enade costume to madam'S milliner for
a turban or the crown of bonnet to
match, and piece goes to the lady's
shoemaker for Vamps for pair of boots
to be worn en- suite. The same rule fol-
lows in the visiting toilet. The bonnet
Is made au fait when it is made
of the materials which enter
into the robe, while the evening
dress is matched in the slippers
TO be worn with it. And the milliners
are quite ready to favor this view of
things, because it means millinery to
match for each costume, and therefore
an increase of orders. After all, it mat
tiers very little if piece of the dress is
provided or no the making of capotes
out of the same material is much in
vogue, as nearly as high price may be
asked, though, of course, the milliner
naturally prefers to use her own stuffS.
Much use is made of DucheSse lace. An

black velvet, enriched with embroidery

the effect of a point at the top, and

THE MOST RECENT CAPRICE
that finds expression in hats has form in
large, full cap crowns, cOmplemented by
brim which is fiat and projecting in
front and narrowed to a hair line at the
base of the crown at the back. Velvet
is most frequently employed in the
making OF the hats of this description,
and with the crowns of the frame not
very tall, the velvet is gathered or
plated around a band of gold tinsel gal
loon encircling the crown, supplemented
by wide MORE antique ribbon set at
the left side, supporting monture of
nodding ostrich tips. A hat after this
style, of black velvet, with gallOon of
black and gold around the crown, is
very handsome. An elegant hat in shot
velvet of black and gold color. with full
crown, has the brim caught up high on
the left side by a bow of shot MORE an
