MILLINERY PRESENTS.
A great deal that is entirely new in
shape and trimmings. Pointed or ''fun-
neP crowns predominate largely, and
some are so small as to be really absurd.
Stylish felts are of all sizes, some in
turban shape, others with very broad
brims, and queer, three-cornered hat
is called the Hub" Crowns in con-
trasting colors are among novelties; as
for example, white felt has dark
crimson or blue crown, or a tan felt has
green crown. White felts are very
handsome, and large, light-colored felt
fats are shown for misses and children,
Ioques are as popular as ever, and a ,
little bonnet with crown running
back to small fiat top, is
kate Greenaway." Plain or !,
corded plush and velvet are foremost ,,
among trimmings, velvet or satin ribbon :
also Will be largely employed. Velvet, ,,
lined with colored satin is another etyl- {
Ism idea, and here Rhinestone buckles :
are an essential element. High, spiral :
