NEW YORK, July 30.-It is by no
means too late for new summer hats,
though they show. in a subdued color
ing, the wane of the glory of the first
June days. These have straws of rus
set shades and rusty and dusty looking
braids The flowers, too, are generally
those that bloom at this season. There
are pond lilies, hOllyhocks, nasturtiums
and hedge roses. Verbenas in all their.
rich coloring we see now-sometimas
five or six colors all grouped together
and on one hat l saw just punches of
the beautiful velvety French marigold
without it's unpleasant smell. PhloX,
too, is among the flowers, mingled with
spikes of mignonette. On one hat Of
dull russell green chip saw pond lilies
in front-three of them and a bud
and at one side there was bunch of
pink roses-small ones-mignonette and
fine smilax vine. There were loops of
bottle green taffeta ribbon forming
background for these flowers. Another
fiat brimmed hat with a cleft crown
had a very full wreath of pink hedge
roses without foliage and a twist of
pale pink silk null around the corwn.

crown was cut away, and soft mob

a ruff1e of the same lying on the brim.
There was a couple of smallish bows
of the white silk NULL A roll of moss
green velvet was drawn around the
crown, and a few loops were put upon
the back, in with three white empire
plumes. This was very pretty and
most becoming to the young wearer.s
For little girl I saw such a dainty
little bonnet. The back part and crown
were of ivory batiste. There was

face, and just behind that there was

: Fad of the Girl Collector.
More stick-pins are being used than
ever, and I don't know where the end
of the craze is to be- said a iewe1er
lately. There are all sorts of freak
things in the market and they are null
tiplying daily, too. OF course, the
wealthy folks don't run much to queer
thngs-they like stick-pins all right
enough. but they want Jewels in them
and variety is expected there; it is in
the cheaper grade of pins that sell
amongst the small buyers that you can
see a new design about once week,
and sometimes oftener. Down in my
shop I've got lot of catalogues that
show all sorts of styles; there are trot-
ting horses, Trilby feet, shoe buckles,
baby's heads, revolvers, daggers, box
ing gloves, deaths heads dumb bells,
skates, guns, ships, fishing rods, bicy-
cles, nursing bottles, beer glasses and
base balls. I sell a lot of them, but the
big department stores in Boston and
the fakirs of the street dispose of the
most of them; they bring tremendous
profit, and I have heard Of at least
two concerns that are making them
that are growing wealthy out Of the
