I'VE went to-day to buy our winter

American girl in PAWS, says the New
York Tribune, for, mindful of their
American clientele, the modistes now

All of the large ones are Marie Antoin-
cite style, very big, with crowns gath
cred on, with lots of shirring and Strauss
| diamonds in the way of buckles and but

ular epidemic of buttons, which are

apparent reason detre whatever The
smaller hats all seem to be of the Louis

fully becoming. 1t is % bright green vel

rolled brim, like the beavers OF Beau

with astraehan. and the crown has a
high nodding Princesse feather on either
side fastened with diamond buckles.

stracted, that sham ghosts and burglars
disturb their slumbers, and that UNBEATABLE
viands unexpectedly appear with their

This strange horse play which inteln-

| among them who find these elephantine
Jokes very fatiguing. and who will gladly
/ welcome more rational methods of amuse-
