You had seen one Of them before it fell into
the hands of this milliner you would have
said it was meant for u doll; or that il was
a model hat on a scale of three inches to
the foot or thereabouts. The crowns made
no p~retense Of fitting q human head, they
were caricsture hats like those bestowed on
their victims bynewspaper humorists. But
here came in the craftvoman's genius.
Mists of gauzs or dropping wells Of lace or
standing fans OF chiffon added themselves
in mysterious combinations to the outer
brims with results picturesque, flowerlike
or plumed.

There was a sailor hat, too, of blue

kSgsomething of the tenderness a woman
TX feels for a baby III her senti-
ments towards q spring bonnet.
The thing is SO little, 30 pretty and SO frag-
lie. She turns it round and about and holds
it off and holds it close and touches its
roses and pulls out its ribbons and can't
persuade herself that such a wee dainty
thing can really be hers.
This is what makes a spring opening so
estiug-the attitude of tho woman
towards the bonnets. In their heavy cloaks
and furs they hover over them and cradle
them and pet the airy, fairy things newly
born into a cold and cruel world. There's
the instinct of protection mingled with
their fondnesa, giving a big sisterly or a
motherly cast to their alteration not OBJ
servnble at any other time Of year.
For is there anything SO helpless rs a
spring bonnet in March? was noting ono
