Every Eye Upon Him.

at last a more sympathizing individual

This worried him, and he took off his
coat first and removed the card from his
coat collar, and looking about for further
trouble, found the same little cards upon
his vest in front and his trousers behind.
At last he got them all off, and nothing
was left but the creases, but they still

Rats cause great annoyance on board of

:
Bonnets are often entirely formed of
beads or of plain felt trimmed with velvet
and osprey, or of open jet applique on to
the metal. Fluted sh apes, the flutes start
ing from the crown toward the brim, are
new and promise to be much worn. Some
bonnets are formed entirely of a jet bird,
with outstretched wings, having a velvet
edge, or sometimes a chenille edge, which
is newer, Chenille is used in all colors.
One of the features in millinery is the
varied treatment of feathers Tiny birds
and wings are bedezned with gold, silver
and steel tinsels, and many other metallic
tints. Gold and green metallic feather
form an important part in millinery. and
feathers of various kinds are covered with
spangles of gold, lined with red, copper or
green; the shades in which these tiny
spangles are made are often novel and
original. In the cut are shown sketches of
recent importations. The hat with the
widespreading brim, slightly curved on
the left side, is black felt trimmed with
black ostrich plumes and a ribbon bow,
with jet dagger thrust through the cen
ter. 1t would suit any young lady with an
artistic face. The other hat is gray felt,
trimmed with black velvet and three black
birds. 1t is a useful hat suitable for wear
ing with any kind of dress A Jet swan is
the chief ornament of the bonnet. 1t rests
on a band of pink velvet and there are tiny
black tips and an aiCrette at the back.
The strings of bonnets are seldom worn
tied in a bow. They are simply crossed
under the chin and fastened at the sido
with ieweled Plus.
