resented the last payment on the s..
500, 900 issue of bonds, including inter.

the biggest ever written in Chicago
and the presentation was a fitting
finale to the financial plot of the grand

OF the great enterprise when it was in
imminent need of financial assistance.
1t is said that there will be large sur
plus, which will afford ample means
for the clearing of the grounds after
the fair is over, and it is considered
quite probable that the stockholders
who contributed so promptly and gen.
erously to the first funds of the fair
will receive part, if not the full amount
of their subscriptions.

LATEST IN MOMENTS HATS.

Perfectly Flat Disks of Felt which Are
Twisted Into Fantastic shapes.
Manufacturers are now busy in max
ing perfectly fat hats for women.
They are mere disks of felt, which the
milliners twist and bend into fantastic
forms. Crowns which are mere rings
of felt or other material are sewed on
the under side of the felt plaques,
sometimes in the center, but oftener
at the side or rear of the center. The
felt disks are fifteen inches in diane
ter, and are only slightly stiffened.
The demand is exceedingly brisk just
now, and six or seven Newark firms are
making them
Many patents have been obtained
upon this simple fiat disk of felt and
the process of making it. The most
important patent is one for splitting
the plaques and cementing the pieces
together. There is great advantage
in this, not only because it enables
them to make hats of two different
colors, over and under, but it makes a
disk of greater dura bility and stiffness
for the weight of fur used.
heretofore all 1ur mats nave been
formed by blowing the fur upon per-
forated cone and shrinking them with
steam or hot cloths. In making the
fiat plaques most of the manufacturers
have been blowing them upon low
cones and flattening them in the sizing
process. One firm devised process
for blowing the disks fat and in con-
tinuous strip, and have made sizing
machine for working the fiat material.
They have also machines for bouncing
and finishing the plaques.
Some of the fiat hats exhibited in the
milliners' windows are dreams of
beauty with gorgeous blendings of
color upon the mapped upper surface
and creamy felt below Others have a
broad border OF furry nap. or are full
brush hats. A few have low crowns,
built up by hydraulic pressure, but the
dictim from Paris is that the crown
must be on the under side, and hatters
are now making shallow crowns of
felt to be sewed on. Some of the
French plaques are so limp that they
can be formed into tams and beef
eaters, while others are made much
sitter, and will be supplemented with
milliners' wire sewed under the rim
The American plaques are superior to
the imported in every respect, and arc
preferred by the milliners.-N. Y.
