deliberately. and the point of distinction
yearned after by every feminine heart
is widows peak on the forehead. This
! is nothing more important than the
growing of the hair in tiny point just
in the center of the brow, and those
dark-haiTed ladies who have it not.
/ cruelty pluck out strands in order. until
more or less of peak is outlined.
WHITE vIOLETs.
The latest harbinger OF spring is the
white violet. with which every other
woman is giving a revivlng touch TO her
dusty and worn winter felt. For so
many seasons purple violets have done
the dut-r Of staying the hand Of time
/ ard dust and general dineiness, that
! comes over headgear long before LAS
ter, but now the white muslin bloom is
doing duty bravely. This made Up in
plump punches, in wreaths OF gray
green foliage, and two or three knots OF
these fresh white flowers set under &
black brim next the hair rejuvenates a
hat marvelousiy.
There is, though, in every way great
turning toward white just now, as we
get on toward Lent. Hats in dark felt
or chenille are trimmed, especially in
front, with short white wings jutting in
every direction. and only twist of
dark silk or velvet to complete the
sharp contrast in background and orna-
ment. The wearers Of these wings, by
the way, always stop the milliner SOL
EMMY to ask, as they put down their
purchase money, where the wings came
from, and the miiliner, with great di-
piolnacy ana equal sOie1l-4ily, Is" rs
from the backs of white barnyard
fowls.
OF course, it is only the daughter of
opulence who can afford in this season,
TO wear when she calls or goes lunching
a wide felt or velvet white as d swans
breast and trimmed, if not with show
ers of black plumes. then rope of
spangled black velvet around the crown
and heaps OF white velvet roses piled on
one side of the crown. Anything more
luxurious in appearance than these
hats it would be hard to imagine and
the only colors they show is flashed
from the heads of the jeweled pins with
which they are fastened TO the wearers'
heads.
Another splendor of the rich woman
is her feather boa-four yards is the av-
erage length of the boa worn with a
white velvet hat, and it usually has its
ends finished with three WendrousIy
long plumes arranged like the Prince of
Wales feathers. A waist-long boa Of
feathers is quite a posi- bility 10 q
slight purse though the new and prop
er thing is not made of ostrich feath-
erS, but the more delicate dappied mar
about. Along with such novelties must
be mentioned the late arrivals in but
tons, that promise to cut a prominent
figure on the spring wardrobes.
BUTTONS, BELTS, ETC.
Velvet buttons, as big as a 50-cent
piece and sparkling with small rhine
stones come first by right of size and
splendor. Another big button of note
is made Of silver filigree; then we have
the true and the imitation carved ivory
button, and finally, in small bullet
shape, mostly SNOWY tortoisesheu cabo-
chons. These, it is needless TO say, will
show Respondent on silk coats and sat
in ront of handsome spring reception
toilets, while for the ginghams and
dimities we win have the sweetest lit
tie coral pink buttons cut to resemble
tiny roses and daisies and little pink or
red hearts. The big mother-of-Dearl
buttons have polished faces, and are
decorated with cut-steel points or small
silver monographs. Gun metal and en-
ameled steel of course are called upon
in the service of spring suits. and the
cheap bone button has taken a little
leaf ornament about its edge that lifts
it into the realm OF artistic trimmings.
Nothing has been done so far to show
what variety the leather belt for sum
mer wear will assume, but with their
winter things women are DOMINIC silk
girdies that not only have jeweled
buckles in front. but at space of three
