so that they can be swayed by the wind.
They are exquisitely light and graceful.
The cotton gown is the prettiest gown

cotton gown, though perhaps it would
not be due SO much to the girl as the
gown. There are beautiful printed cot
tons that look like the finest persian
cashmere, with their soft green's and
pale pinks on drab and mode grounds.
One such gown had a princess back
and front of pink crepon, the opening
faced with lace. &c There was a green
velutina belt and 1apels, a vest and the
sleeves being of the pink crepon. The
dress was beautiful and was the model

wreath over the brow and under the
brims of all kinds of hats and bonnets
where such an arrangement is possible.
There are some new shapes in summer
straws that are exceedingly attractive,
among them the Louis XII, which comes
in rough straw and later will be seen in

The trimming often consists Of prehis-,
toric birds and flowers that would de-
light the heart of naturalist.
A bonnet for a lady, young or old, is
of the most pronounced poke shape, but
isn't any size at all. Tits covered with
rich brocaded silk in pink, cream and
silver. The strings are cherry red velvet,
and they are held on each side with
rhinestone button. Under the brim is
thick wreath of oleander blossoms, and
there are two more, all without foliage,
on the sides Of the bonnet, serving as
foundation for a spray Of fancy silvered
ornaments.
Another late arrival is fine silver
gray chip, with bows Of wide white satin
ribbon covering the fiat crown. There
are three white doves wings shading
to gray on the tips, and there are three
white carnations placed among the bows.
The shape Of the hat is d plateau, which
has wide brim dropping slightly at the
sides and rising in front just under
the brim close to the hair is tiny white
bow and awhile carnation.
Now, there isn't one of these hats, which
cost from $40 to $s5, that a clever lady

is to make careful study of .style" as
seen in the windows and on the streets
and then set your trimming on upright,
at right angles or dropping. There is no

crawls OF flies that cannot be used on

a milliner SO much more than the value
Of the things for that elusive thing called

study and use her old stock Of odds and

NEW YORK, June 8.-slfter all, it is
not SO much what is put on hat as the
way it is put on that makes it stylish
and seasonable. We find velvet trim
1nings and close feathers in summer, and
we find flowers in winter. There are
few materials used in the foundations of
hats and bonnets. Straw, felt, velvet
and lace are the principal ones, and out
of them come all the creations that SO de-
light us. Style is about all that is new to
them, and that consists in standingyour
bows, flowers or feathers up stifiy or
in letting them droop or lie flat. This
particular season the upward trend has
bad its innings, but I predict that the
stiff standing bows and plumes viii soon

During the next four years there will be
seen a marvellous change in the msterial
condition of the southern states. The sjuta
is the natural field for cotton mills and tee
day is not distant when the bulk of the cot
/ ton produced in her fields will be manu-
/ featured within her limits. The number Of
cotton mills in the south hos been steadily
/ increasing for the last ten years, but her ad-
/ yautages for manufacturing cotton goods
are only beginning to be appreciated.
/ Among oar dispatches yesterday was one
/ from Boston, IN which it is stated that the
representatives of The cotton mills at Chi
copee, Fail River, Lowell and Taunton, at a
hearing before the labor committee Of the
/ Massachusetts legislature, demonstrated
against the reduction Of the hours of lnbor
Of the operatives Of the mills to ffty-four
week, on the ground that they
| cannot now stand the competition Of mills
in other states and England. The treasurer
Of the Massachusetts mills at Lowell.
and the Whittenton mills at Taunton, de-
clared he was driven from the state, and
that he was forced 70 build mills ia the
south in order to hold his export trada. He
pointed out that his goods can be made
more cheaply in the south Gu the identical
machine he is using in bis Massachusetts
mills.
The statement of this Massac husetts
manufacturer expresses in q marked degree
the feeling that prevails among the cotton
manufacturers Of New England. They see
that the time is approaching when they
will be compelled to transfer to the south
much of the capital they have invested in
cotton manufacturing In the north.
In cotton manufacturing the south is
gaining rapidly on the north. 1t will not
be long before English spinners will begin
to think Of erecting plants In the south for
the manufacture Of cotton goods. II they do
not do 30 they will find their export trade
slipping away from them, because the ad-
vantages in the southern states for manu-
featuring cotton goods are greater than
anywhere else in the world.
The MORNING News has been saying for
years that the time would come soon when
the south would be the greatest manufact-
urinR section Of this country, and the indica-
tions that she will be are steadily becoming
more apparent She has the raw material
for cotton factories and iron mills, and there
is no reason why her raw materials should
not be consumed at home. The amount of
northern capital which has been invested in
the south since the war Of secession is small
in comparison with the amount that will be
invested before the end of this century.
