Fleishman,s Millinery Opening.

Yesterday was gala day at Fieishman 8.
For the past week their millinery opening
has been extensively advertised and the la
dies were on Qui Yive to behold the beauties
OF the coming season.
The Freshman Company have devoted
their entire second floor to their millinery
department. making the largest department.
3n Western Pennsylvania.
Bonnets will remain small with close
sides and small cut crowns. The Marie
Stuart brim, with pointed front, is again
seen, the edge of the brim having pendant
fringe OF jet beads, spangIes or sequins fall
ing over a velvet band that fits the head
closely. Capotes for elaborate costume S are
even smaller than regular bonnets. Round
hats are of medium size, with low crowns.
There are also some very large picturesque
cavalier hats English turbans are little
changed in shape, and there are many close
walking hats of felt, some with indented
Alpine crowns, and others with square
crowns somewhat like those of mems derby
hats.
The colors for this season are lighter than
those usually worn in winter. The leading
series of six shades gradually darkens from
llale rose to deep Provence red. Next,
there is new lale green, usually called
Angelic, which combines charmingly with
dark muriere or mulberry leaI green to the
still deeper ronces or briar green. Diavolo
is dull, yellowish red, while mephisto
is a glowing, brilliant tint An observer,
looking over large importatons of selected
fabrics, finds the preference given to emil
nence purple, pinkish tan or apricot, reseda,
tor, maroon brown, cardinal and black.
Felt, cloth and velvet are the fabrics most
used in the new bonnets. Plated felt bon
nets are made of slender stripes of Ielt
braided to initiate fancy straw braids.
Fancy feathers promise to be the trim
innings of the Season-wingS, quills, me-
phisto, curves ana attennae rivaling the
ostrich tips so long worn. Bats''wings are
among the new whlms, but are pretty copies
OF the un sigh ly original, made up of forked
guilds of glowing colors, TO which metallic
luster is often added. Lophophore feathers
that combine the popular blue and green
shades are mounted on bands to represent a
ribbon OF feathers and are then looped in
Alsacian bows. Large heads of BIRDS many
OF them most owIish-looking, connect two
or three pairs of wings, and Jnis Is sufficient
trimming Tor the largest hat.
Buckles and clasps of large size are the
in jet and steel and gilt, but in jet combined
with pale green jade, with white strass
stones. and with various light-colored stones
Initiating opals, ls,amethysts, canary diamonds,
moonstones and very pale blue tuIQuoises.
Steel buckles are cut to glisten like Jewels
or else they have dull surface enriched
with colored enamels or with gilt nailheads
Alsacian bows OF jet ana of colored stones,
or OF beads strung on line wires, are new and
effective ornaments
The combination of lace with fur so pop
ular last winter, is seen again on French
bonnets, and on the soft, small muffs that
are made to accompany them. White gui-
pure laces and point de genes, with brown
Russian sable or mink. are very effectively
used together on light cloth and velvet
toques. Black guipure insertions are let in
to the brims OF velvet hats or are made to
serve as bindings along their wired edge.
