with a surface like twisted grasses min
CLING green and white and yellow all in one
mass like faded hay and green heritage. In
deed I find it difficult to describe, it is so
very curious. The whole hat is made this
way. To trim it a handful of ribbon grasses
and a few field flowers are carelessly fasten-
ed upon the crown and allowed to trail
around the brinl. The Duchess Dues shape
of hat obtains favor rapidly. The brim
bends down over the forehead and rolls up
at the sides like an accumulated derby, but
the crown is very low. All around the
crown there may be curled feathers or a
wreath of flowers. There are some who
look better in this style of hat than any
other. There are big hats and little ones,
close ones and faring ones, and no end of
colors to choose from. The small jet, metal
and lace coronet bonnets for visiting and
evening grow lighter and more dainty all
the time. The tea caps are larger, though
quite as dainty.
Talking Of hats reminds me of a mon
strosity I saw in a grand Broadway win
dow. 1t was in a mems hat store, and it
was a white silk stovepipe hat, with a reg.
ular bell crown and dipping brim. There
was a white ribbon around it.. The shape
was exactly the same as that of the latest
Paris style of black stovepipes. have not
seen any one wearing one yet, but doubt
less there are men brave enough to risk it.
Did I mention the newest style for plac-
ing diamonds? If I did not, I will now.
Those who have plenty of these trif1es have
their waists made so that they drape sur
plice fashion, and along down the outer
side they set a row of stars or sunbursts or
half moons, the top ones the largest and
the lower ones diminishing gradually in
size. On the other side a riviere is Topped
or coiled, or perhaps some pins of different
shape are set. Young women who have
pretty necks prefer to fasten their jewels Oh
their corsages, but elderly ones are privi-
legged to hide the ravages of time by as
large a necklace as the husbands can afford.

two inches long, not all of them to be
sure, but the newest only. They used to be
one inch, but nobody would be seen wear
ing such a weenty-teenty skinny thing, at
least nobody that is anybody. Nearly all
the marquise rings are of diamonds alone,
but some fine ones have turquoise, pearls
or opals as center stones.
The new parasols are out. They are so
light and airy that it is difficult to see what
good they will be to keep off the sun. The
handles are smaller and shorter than those
of last season, but they are finished in the
most artistic manner some of them being
exquisitely carved or enameled or orna-
mented with mosaic work. I noticed one
where the handle up to the first joint was
of whitby jet and ivory set with gold. 9th
ers are inlaid with nacre and Others with
different colored woods. One had a POM
mel Of ivory carved to represent two cherub
faces. The parasols are much smaller than
those Of last year also. Chiffon, silk, nus
lin, crepe lisse. thin silks and lace are the
materials, and they are in all the light
tints. A few of them have bows Of ribbon
to match tied on the stick inside in such a
way as to be up close to the top when the
parasol is open. I presume it is fastened to
the frame. MATE LEROY.
