SOCIETY.

will never hark back to 1898, as we do to 179S, for some lovely style to adopt with a fancy dress or borrow an idea from us. Go to the theater or opera if you like for even bOnnetS are no longed de rigeur, and you will be sure to observe that the rule of head dress ing is "go as you please. Three horl- zontally fixed rear puffs is still a good way for doing the hair for the street, though .he majority of women prefer to roll up the length of their tresses i'll a heavy long lump and fasten that as low as possible on the neck. Wlth some women this bag of hair lies even out on the shoulders, and with long short-toothed comb that crosses the
 base of the head behind the ears, everything is somehow made fast. These combs are nothing more thanthe old round pompadour combs put to a new use.
 One drawback to his head dress, as adopted by day, is that it can rarely be kept tidy; it is ludicrous with the new hats and the natural hair grease rubs off on the shoulders Of the gown.
 The cravat.e is the favorite of the hour-the most distinguished being those of muslin applique with lace, with lace ears standing out over the collar band, and those of spotted silk with fringed ends. The spotted mania still rages as though fashion were de sirous of emulating the suns perform ance of late in this direction. The six inch spotted ribbons sold to wear as crayats are 45 cents per yard, and, as it takes two and a quarter yards to make one, the price is not insignifl- cant when one considers that num- Der are necessary. This ribbon is folded in the center. passed around the neck, crossed in the back, then brought forward and tied in a four-in- hand bow in front. The long ends de- scend nearly to the waist. An addi- tional length of the same ribbon is often purchased for a crush belt to wear with this tie, the buckle into which the ends are sewed is of the rich est description, gold set with anne thysts, turquoises, etc. Striped rib bon and Lihe Roman ribbons are also used for these crush belts.

 This season presents varied styles Of fashionable and becoming millinery; everything is worn, from the small bonnet and toque, to the wide, fiaring briIns Of the "Gainsborough" and Marie Antoinette." Those who are most difficult 10 please will this year easily find some hat becoming to their special type. For those who do not favor small bonnets or large hats the toque will be. most suitable. One of the newest Paris impor;ations shows violet velvet toque; fthe brim is slight ly scooped in front and covered with loose folds of velvet Three short white plUmes ornament the back This hat is particularly charming worn with 8 delicate black veil having violet dots of chenille
 There is a positive craze for veil pins. The butterfly has given place to the turtle, crab and spider. Never since the world began has the turtle been used in such curious ways as this autumn. Imagine a turtle disguised as a puff box. And yet the turtle puff box is the latest trinket to jingle from the smart woman's chatelaine. It is a fat turtle for it's size and is always gleaming with jewels. Quite as novel as the turtle puff box is the turtle mir TOT and the turtle which carries about with it tiny bottle of perfume and a dozen or so pins. These turtles are all to dangle from the chatelaine.
 
 The Cradle Songs of the Nations" which were repeated last Tuesday evening at ,he Patton Grand were quite as satisfactory as the frst evening, but the audience was not all it might have been in numbers. It seems as though the people of Phoenix should take more interest in these affairs and patronize them.
