These hats naturally are for young la
dies. Matrons may wear hats, but bonnets
are really more suitable, and bonnets are
nearly all the teentiest, tiniest bits of mil

These short sealskin garments bid fair
to entirely, or almost entirely, take the
place of any other seal garment. 1t is
melancholy fact that a sealskin coat or
jacket does not last well in spite of the best
