The stuff and silk suits demand more

APRIL HATS.
Every Easter bonnet is made fast to
its wearers head by new veil, and
whether the net mask be white or black
it boasts a dot of more abnormal size
than has been seen in many long day
Indeed, so large are some of these
chenille balls that they much resemble
fat caterpillars caught in the rush, but
luckily such dots are few and far be-
tween; about four to every yard of
yelling is the usual allowance, and the
net is of very open weave.
Hang, or drape, or pin, or bunch your
veil to please your own sweet will, be-
cause the law says nothing explicit on
this point, and Ardent as has been the
effort to induce the women at large to
catch the fullness of her back hair with
jeweled pin, that neat French fashion
still hangs fire. Contrariwise with lit
tie urging, the unique comb has met
with no resistance, and now we have
beautiful unique combs of spotted shell,
the top curved quite like a COWS
branching horns, and edged with
sparkling rhinestones. Into a multi
plicity of shapes this comb meant to
hold only the back hair in check, is
twisted. Every one of it's contortions.
