good effect.
1t Is quite the thing to carry a bouquet
and the very most improved fancy is

Such bouquet can be laid down without

The novelty in summer millinery Is the
use of tulle, white especially, but colored
also, on round hats and capotes alike.
Rosettes Of white tulle alternate with
others of violet tulle on chalky- white
and birds are also used for some unknown
reason on many hats, bows and loops of
white tulle supporting bird on the
crown, most often snowy white bird,
but often one as black as Jet.
Sometimes only the wings and tail
feathers are used amid clouds of tulle,
while perhaps the head and breast OF the
same ppor ibird peep out from similar
clouds on another hat. Dotted tulle Is
also very effectively used, and is not quite
30 perishable as the plain.
Parrots wings and tails are used by
gathered on wire as fine rs a thread, and
edged with tiny ruche of tulle.
A large rosette of white tulle each side
OF hat is foundation from which start
sprays of flowers or stylish aigrettes.
Small bonnets OF tobacco colored straw
are trimmed around the crown with tulle
of different colors, pink, black, green,
white and blue. A black aigrette is in
front, and dropping violets In the back.
Hats of heliotrope straw trimmed with
violets and crimson roses or sprays OF
and purple being favorite combination
in color for hats and bonnets again this
season.
Capes are rs ever the most useful out

COUNTIES A PUZZLE.
Politicians Kept Guessing ns To
Which Ticket They VIII Helm.

The attitude of the Independent Coun-
ty Organization towards the Committee
OF LINKS union ticket will be definitely
made known tomorrow night at the
meeting of the County Committee at 60
Seventh street.
The Independents have exhibited dis
position to bolt the Inns ticket be-
cause their Conference Committee was
not consulted as to the make up OF the
ticket. At the request of the LINK. the
Independents. who were first in the
field against Tammany. postponed their
County Convention and refrained from
putting tip ticket on the representa-
tIon of the LXN. that that body pro-
poscd to put one in the field that would
represent all the organizations opposed
to Tammany Hall.
As the Inns ticket Is made up al
most exclusively of Grace Democracy
men. the exceptions being Strong "a Re
publiCan) for Mayor and Tamsen "a
German American Reformer) for Sheriff,
the Independents feel that they have
been buncoed.
Ovcrtures have been made to the
leaders OF the Independents by Tam
many men to get them to indorse Straus
ana the Tammany ticket. but these
uyertureS have failed OF their purpose.
The independents replied that they
were sun opposed to Tammany, and
that peace with that organization could
not be purchased at any price; that
while they We're displeased with the
action of the Inn, they proposed to
show that displeasure in II way thor
ouShly consistent with their past declar-
utions.
This is taken TO mean that the In
dependents Will either put up ticket
or their own Or else nominate Strong
and Con for Mayor and Recorder. and
decline 20 take any action as regards
me Grace Democrats on the LINZ. :
ticket
The Independents are just now. as a
result OF the doubt as to what they will
finally decide upon doing, cause of
much worry to both armies on the
municipal battle ground.
The independents hold the balance OF
power below Fourteenth street and In
the densely populated parts OF the east
side. and for that reason the Tammany
leaders are using all sorts of induce
ments to get them to come out for
Straus and Smyth.
The reformers. because an Independent
County Organization ticket would very
likely cause the defeat of the L\N u
candidates. are also making overtures
to the Independents.
Both sides, however. will be left in
doubt until the action OF the County
Committee tomorrow night is made
known.
