A MOST BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY.
A Glimpse of the Wonderful Millinery Mt
Joseph Horne 6 Co.'s.

Joseph Horne d Co.'s.
Birds, flowers, lsces, ribbons and women
reigned supreme in the artistic little parlor
of Messrs. Joseph Horne & Co. yesterday.
1t was their opening Of summer millinery,
and such q distractingly beautiful display
as their pattern hats made has never been
equaled in the city. There were all the latest
Partisan and London novelties from the
snake bonnet, consisting OF black beaded
serpent wound around the head in such
way as to suggest the posing for q spring, to
the immense Gainsborough, which Is always
so becoming. A glimpse at the various de-
signs shown fairly dazzled one for a minute,
but served 10 foreshadow the entire scope of
this summers millinery
One exquisite novelty In that line though
neither a bonnet nor hat, is the floral boa,
which Is to be worn with summer costumes
at the seashore, and is q distracting mass OF
oK-eyed daisies and white ostrich tips. The
Gainsborough Is inseparable from this
boa, and when combined with the
beauty of a fair wearer the COM
bination is irresistible. These boas are
lust out" and may be manufactured in
any flower, American beauties, pansies,
crush roses OF water lilies, and in either are
very effective. One Of the prettiest hats on
exhibition was black tuscan turban, one
of Rediern's couceits with four white swal-
lows perched for the "homeward hy" on
the crown. A sailor hat which is to
be the July hat for street wear,
shown was decided novelty
with an open work crown of horse hair
trimmed with corn-colored and VIII ite gauze
ribbon and graceful bunch of sweet peas.
A bonnet that will grace q middIe-aged
woman Is composed of drawn crepe de chene,
the front Of which is adorned with q large
Alsatian bow Of heliotrope velvet fairly
sparkling with irridescent beads, which form
a network over it.
On the real English hats narrow black
velvet ties are always to be found, but they
no longer form q bow under the chin or
at the side of the face, but are crossed and
taken to the back of the head to meet
the toque, there being confined with
jeweled dart pin. One extremely
pretty hat, in illustration of that,
was q lemon-colored muslin de sole crown,
with a canary-coIored border with a large
Alsatian bow Of point dutchess lace held in
place by massive gold ornaments. The
whole completed with band of black velvet
next to the face and the narrow black velvet
ties.
A handsome English turban in black
with high side trimming Of light blue velvet
poppies, banded with an oriental lace of
gilt anu tuTQuOlS was OUc OIL pTeLLleSL
things shown. An orchid bonnet, one of
the rarest and most striking, was seen COM
posed OF Aubergne velvet, one OF
the new pansy shades, and the
entire crown one mass of the most natural
orchids imaginable. Another hat that ex-
cited much admiring comment was OF Gobe-
lin blue tuscan made in whorls and crowned
with black chantilly lace and wreathed
with Gobelin blue birds. An entirely
new idea was developed in the
Spanish hat of tuscan straw trimmed
with hummingbirds and cowslips and with
q lace mantilla attached at the back to be
worn draped over face and shoulders. The
preceding are only few of the many ex-
uuisite creations that were to be seen and that
may be patterned from, while at the continu-
alton Of the opening to-day any number Of
perfectly fresh importstions will be on ex-
