AS one comes in view of Mrs. II. f.

induced to enter into this palace OF
fashion. as all life in every sphere is
drawn toward the bright and beauti-

while marvellous as productions of art,
scarcely prepare one for the effect pro-
duced upon them as they step inside
into veritable flower garden: AS the
eye begins to take In all this collection
Of beauty animate and inanimate, and
realize the fragile and almost ethereal
appearance Of the inanimate. the mind
most expects to see the whole take to
themselves wings and fly away. The
unique white stands on which the hats,
some hundred or more, are displayed,
add to this effect and present a pic
ture of loveliness difficult to excel.
Mrs. Tibbetts' observations abroad
have enabled her to present to the la
dies of Augusta and sister cities an
array of fashionable hats, bonnets, and
novelties, that are without doubt en-
and most desirable styles, many being
Partisan gems plucked from the i'm
mense stocks she visited in New York

are Manila hats to match the new lin

standpoint. seem more practical and
sensible than some of the illusions,
called hats. The flower hats are beau

you will not feel disappointed when
you see it. 1t is one of those hats that
