A GLANCE AT HATS AND noSSErs.

A glance at the hats and bonners OF
the promenaders ON our fashionable
thoroughfares leads one to wonder what
can be devised IN the way of new styles
for coming seasons.
1t would seem that there could be
nothing which has not been used. We
see moderately high crowns, very low
crowns, and no crowns at all, but n sort
OF pancake affair, usually of fine braid
With an edge of lace or fancy braid.
Brims vary from the merest edge to
wide fiappy proportions, or with closely
covered sides or bsck-rolled high and
edge crimped or bent in all manner of
fanciful shapes.
Never were small hats Of fine plain or
fancy braid ms popular as at present.
They are neat, natty, stylish, and rs a
rule, becoming, and may be very mex
pcnsive If the wearer desires. Almost
every home contains material for half
dozen pretty little hats of this sort.
Small Donncts. hats, toques aud cans
OF various sorts are worn. Small frames
may be covered with gauze or tissue, or
with crepe de Chine, silk, velvet or
SANeN- a. iShshS'y WHY, hlSIcLIe OF n
bunch of flowers or foliage will make a
pretty trimming. Head-g gear in very
light colors is popular, more so than for
many seasons. While this is becoming
to some persons it is subject to the great
est abuse, and many are the caricatures
seen On the streets.
Women with bad compilations wear
tints that only the most perfect lilv and
rose should attempt, and aye and
wrinkles put on youthful colors and
styles, and naturally enough makes it
self hideous.
OF course there are black and dark
colored bonnets and hats in all STYLES
and shapes, and will be as long as there
are practical and sensible people who
know what is good taste and are willing
to follow its tie :caings. Yors

TIE CLOAK MODEL.

10 the saleswomen throughout the land
the cloak model Of the wholesale depart
ment is the most envied woman in bust
ness life. They gossip about her per-
sonality, and she is surrounded in their
eyes with certain halo of mystery.
The leading models, indeed, are quite
inaccessible save to those they meet in
business relations. In many of the larger
houses the models never come into the
showroom, for good model is such a
jewel that she is guarded against the ap-
proaches of imprcssionablc statesmen IS
carefully as against rivals in the trade.
The wholesale cloak model is cssenti-
ally woman of graceful carriage and of
perfect form. She must be bright in
temperament, for her tact will oftentimcs
turn the balance in the critical moment
OF sale. 1t would be the natural IN
ference that n clever, beautiful woman.

an attempt to get the photographs of

hours the models receive the homage and
attention that falls To the lot of all
beautiful women. Sometimes the model
marries the head of the house, or his
son, or some one attached to the concern.

Hotels with accommodations for 200 to
1000 guests each are in process of
construction. Elevated roads are being
built, and cable lines being substituted
for horse car lines to remote parts of the

In brief, there is every reason to expect
that Chicago will be able to care for

sary course of treatment, she teaches
ladies the entire process, thus enabling
then with little care to keep their COM
plexions in order. Miss Sheppard be-
gins by washing the face thoroughly IN
soft tcpid water with honey comb
sponge well soaped with creamy white
soap-this last is a speciality, she alone
possessing the recipe for making it. A
warmer lather is then introduced, when
third and fourth follow, till as hot rs
can be borne. The face being thus
thoroughly cleansed and heated, vel
low white cream, comprising soothing
emollients, is rubbed in, the whole sur.
face gently but firmly massed, the lines
being carefully rubbed. in an opposite di-
rcction. This friction, if capably done,
tends to restore muscular power to any
tissues wasted by illness or ether causes,
giving the becoming rounded contour.
Now the face is we'll rinsed in scented
water, removing any PARTICLES of grease,
then it is steamed by vaporizer, the
fumes of which exhale fragrant tonic
water, which can be made in various
kinds to suit different skins and their re-
quiremcnts. A soft towel should ALWAYS
be used in wiping the skin, and cool
ing powder being applied, the complex
ion has during the process acquired
fairer appearance, while it is soft and
cool to the touch, thus obviating the
great discomfort all must experience
from bitter easterly winds. Few people
are, perhaps, aware that the face is the
most sensitive part of the body, the
framework being covered by network
OF delicate nerves, arteries, aud veins,
which readily become congested by con-
tact with heat, cold, or fatigue. Moth
ing relieves pain caused in this manner
like careful massage on the parts affec-
ted. 1t is true that neuralgia has its
seat often in more serious causes, but in
many cases it yields readily to surface
treatment, and many sufferers would
readily testify to the relief given by the
process here described. -NeW Yoh

FELLOW CLERKS RARELY MARny.

1t is popular idea that women clerks
employed in retail stores and mercantile
offices find husbands among the men with
whom they associate in business every
day, but it is not fact. Most of The
girls who marry select their mates from a
class of men who ure in some other and
more rcmunerative business. The prin.
cipal reason for this is to he found in
tine fact that the girls soon become i'm
bued with sensible ideas in regard to the
life of those who have to work for liv-

man who works Mt the same counter with
her and knows that he esrns but little
more than she does herself. Matrimonial
bliss on salary just sufficient for one
has no temptations for the average shop

part OF both to marry money A male
