OPENINGS AT THE MILLINERS.

rials are much richer. Birds and wings
are on every shape, but our song friends
have not been so much sacrificed as their
more humble and less melodious mates.
On the larger hats ostrich plumes are
the most graceful trimming, but the de-
mand has been such as to almost exhaust
the supply in the market, and thereby
raise the price. Fortunate are those who
have some laid aside which can be re-
curled, dyed, and otherwise made to
look like new. Still there are many
styles with and without plumes to suit
all tastes and purses. For common use
the English walking shape with band
of ribbon or heavy cord around the
crown, and quill or wing on one side
is both neat and attractive.
At Miss l.. c. French's opening last
| Friday and Saturday there were many
pretty hats and turbans. one Of the new
est shapes this fall which found ready
purchasers. larger hat had gray
chenille crown, green felt brim and gray
wings for trimming. Children's bonnets
and hats had conspicuous place, a red
ielt with plaid ribbon having a bright,
warm look.

mings for the coming seasons hats at the

with velvets and feathers or wings pre-
