Small bonents, it is good to relate,

loops and ends just under the chin.

spangles and garnished with a tuft of
roses on one side.
Wreaths of flowers fastened to the
head by a big black comb are adopted

front like the delicate antennae of an
insect.

New York, Feb. 23.-The season for
profitable bargain chasing is practically
over, and many an otherwise well bal
anced feminine brain is whirling with
the problem of Easter hats and gowns.
We are promised on the Sd of April a
record breaking display of spring splen-
doris
Last year the flash of colors was
unique and interesting, but unless all
signs fail the Easter parade of '9S will
in color go far ahead of anything we
ever believed the heretofore rather con-
sentative American woman could lend
herself to. Every preliminary millinery
opening so far has not failed to i'm
press all observers with the very OBJ
vious influence of the Audubon society.
The smartest tokes and bonnets and
picture hats flaunt gorgeous bouquets
of ribbon in place of glassy-eyed little
songsters. and il is undeniable that the
ribbon is answering just as well as the
birds did for effective decoration.
The giddiest headpieces from Paris,
sent over as models, fairly bristle with
bows. in the making of which there
