WINTER MILLINERY.

Some of the late winter millinery Is
worthy Of notice. They are wearing some
close. felt capotc shapes that are coquettish-
" pretty. and that are somewhat new IA
form. The top of the crown fits closely TO
the head. yet has slight point forward
the entire crown being oval. One OF these
capotes needs but little trimming. but that
little must be artistic. For instance, q
single intricatcly-tie knot OF brilliant red
satin ribbon. massed near the front. and
held i'm place by a large ornament OF cut
let. Black-and-red and black-and-ycuow
are the distinctly stylish combinations OF
the season in millinery.
They have returned to the en- tom OF
matching the bonnet 10 the gown-an In
convenient fashion for o woman whose
purse is limited. Small, low bonnets,
to0uos. and IN. bans. covered IN black vel

with small birds.
Some large hats are worn by young
women, q few GaiusborOughs beng seen,
