THE PRICES OF ETSTER BONNETS

five and twenty hats upon which la
grande Paris has written the syllables Oh
her great authority.
But notwithstanding these apparently
high prices, the millinery business is one
of many losses. The constant changing
OF styles renders almost valueless the
goods of the passing season, so as the
Term draws to its close the prices are cut
often far below cost and goods rushed off to
be got rid OF. Indeed, many are the New
York milliners who, unable to sell even at
auction old shapes IN frames, unable even
to give them away, have had them carted
to the nighttime TO the bay and dumped.
They must be got out OF the way
space is too valuable. Thus thousands of
dollars annually go to waste. But 1t can
not be helped. Fashion must not be kept
back, for while the dark waters splash in
their gurgle and gulp of the novelties OF
year ago, in dances gay and CANDY Paris
with more colored plates, more pattern
hats, more to surprise and charm and

HOw i MqN WENT SHOPPING TO LEARN THE

During the past week the City has been
the Mecca OF retail miIliners arriving
from all over California, the coast States
and Honolulu, who have come to attend
the openings which all the wholesale
millinery establishments have been hold
ing.
The wholesale phase of this business is
peculiar in its invariabIe concentration in
large centers. The houses of the kind on
this coast are all in San Francisco. Los
Angeles, though a large city, had one
wholesaler who, after maintaining bust.
ness for year, recently closed out.
San Francisco has seventeen wholesale
millinery houses and it is the presence OF
so many here tnat attracts to the City
twice year between 1900 and 1000 ladies
who conduct retail stores in the various
interior towns. 1t is a part OF the educa-
ton of such milliners that they shall
make these semi-annual visits to San
Francisco and scrutinize the gorgeous
displays which are arrayed for them by
the wholesale houses. Once here, they
fit from house to house in an ecstacy of
excitement and delight. culling the sweet
est of the enhancing objects which dazzle
their eyes and bearing off as trophies of
their trip these wonders of the milliner's
art.
And wonders indeed are they. Into
that piece de resistance of the bellies cos
tume there is wound and threaded and
pinched and plated the handiwork of
over half of Europe and Japan. From
China come the straw braids which are
turned into cup with a spider-web rim.
To this complement of bewitching effects,
wholly stunning to susceptible mascu-
Unity, Cuba contributes the ribboned
fbers of her yucca palms and cacti; Italy
gives her fragile filamentous straws; Per-
sta sends gilt galloons gorgeous with the
rich tracery of her arabesques; while Paris
decorates all these with her Incompatible
art, her sparkling cut-steel cabouchons
and polished Jets, her wealth of artificial
flowers so marvelously true in color and
tone. in shape an d size, that natures
creations, il would seem, are made super
huous.
Then the silk laces and gauze, the rib
bon and chiffon, the silk-wrapped wire for
frames, all this and more Paris gives TO
the seasons style, while heavier and more
solid Germany brings misunderstanding
cherries and berries, with polished wild
crabapples and all of the fruit-bearing
blossoms. England sends stuffed birds,
wings, spikes from the plumed heron, and
brings for US from Africa and New Guinea
airy tufts from the feathery foliage of the
bird of paradise.
All of these materials garnered from The
East are brought into New York. 1t is
fact, therefore. that nearly all our own
millinery is foreign. America furnishes
bur little. She gives mainly silks, ribbons,
felts and feathers.
Though Paris declares the seasons
styles yet the two dozen different hats
which come from there in reality

which they present. Instantly they ar

A New Partisan Fad.

A table-tipping fad has taken possession
of Paris. Occult influences cause the fur
niture to oscillate. Mysterious raps
slowly jar out words of messages from
famous persons long dead. These things
occur in the most fashionable families.
No one has yet attempted to expose the
method, if such a thing could be accom-
plishsd. All this is the wonder of tho
hour. If half what is heard is true Napo-
leon is thoroughly up to date on the al
fairs of the world, and Louis XIV knows
just what is taking place in republican
France.
So firm hold has the new idea taken
that invitations to table-tipping parties
have become as frequent as request to
Join a friend at dinner. Any day one is
likely to receive this sort of q note:
Monsieur and Madame -- request Mon
sieur to pass the evening of - with
them. There will be table turning.
The invitation is accepted. of course, ior
it is decidedly questionable to refuse.
Entering the salon, one is instantly i'm.
pressed by the air of mystery which is
over all. The light is delicately shaded
in just the fashion that obtains in the
apartments where the psychologist un-
folds to you the mysteries OF what is TO
come There are several tables in the
salon. About these are seated mum ber
OF persons, varying from three to eight.
There is a hush, a solemn silence, that

cined TO break. Soon the guests have al

The skirt is five yards wide, with all the

The OnIu Woman Bank President.

Mrs. w. NJ. Marsh OF Groton is the only
woman whose signature appears on bank
bills. This happens because she is presi-
dent of the First National Bank OF Groton,
an institution which does a very large
business with corporations and private IN
dlvlduals W hose operations are extensive
In addition to performing the duties oil
bank president Mrs. Marsh is the head OF
the Groton Typewriting Machine Com
pany and treasurer OF the Crotch Carnage
Company. She finds time TO do all this
and nave that leisure which is necessary
to a woman who enjoys the advantages OF
society.
The husband of Mrs. Marsh was
capitaIist and one of the business pillars
of Groton. When he died, year and
half ago, people wondered how the large
interests OF his estate would be handled.
Mrs. Marsh quickly solved the problem by
assuming the discharge OF the duties
which had devolved upon her late hus-
band. The business men of Groton, while
they deeply respected MIS-. Marsh, were
little inclined 10 doubt her ability 10 sue
cessfully carry on the role she had under
taken. The lady said nothing one way or
the other, bat in a very short time demon
strated to the entire satisfaction OF the
business community that she was fully
capable of handling the business OF the
bank, the typewrlting company and the
carriage mandatory.
