The Spectators Want Every
thing They See.
Pretty Girls, WHO HIVE Saved Their Money
to Go to the City to Get Their Winter
Hats, Go From Mnliuer TO Milliner and
Wonder What They Snail Purchase.

a.brac, odd table covers that came |
from Japan OF. Persia, odd candelabra
picked up in some hamlet in England,
and all those pretty bits, queer, it is
true, but which, placed here and there,
make one feel a certain richness of
possession that never comes with imita- |
ton Joys. The pretty girl, who has
saved her money to come to the city to
get her winter hat. goes from milliner
to milliner and wonders what she shall
get. Each chapeau is SO much more
delightful than the other one that she
stands wondering. hoping and wishing
n that she could decide. One Of the
y prettiest hats seems nothing but a
\ twist of velvet 1t might have been
4 worn by lady of Venice. is a.
4 gorgeous purple, set back SO that it
4 seems to frame the mouse colored hair,
" while the trimming is nothing but {
Nigh quill spangled with steel. This,
Beems the most attractiye; then there
Dis another. There always is another
-Aanother woman, another bonnet or
Il another frock, and when you have got
one you always want the other. That
a is life.
II There was bonnet made Of white
81 kid. shaped like q square Dutch bonnet,
a with "a frill OF the kid spangled with
Il gold all around it and a gold aigret
4 at one side. The woman who wore, it
\ was fitted to it, or it to her. That is
n the aim nowadays.
~ Every girl wishes it to be known that
<Yhe studies out types and that no
fessmaker ever designs her frocks or
ny Of her belongings She is particu-i
III to get her hat SO that it is abso-l
btely suited to her face as well as to
be century to which she seems best
,A7hited. It is little odd that England
W3fnishes few picturesque costumes.
SAt least If you look at the picture of
| Hdne Hathaway you are certain that

W(sermany are as different as Scotch

%btys for chic and wears her furs or her
faces for year, a day or an hour, and
Mthen forgets Them or losses them to her
t3maid. N
Her great devotion this season is
&NTen to f,irs. and, by the bye, my
sHSeung friend, it takes a woman with a
pSpeculiarly good shape to wear a cape
#elk One which is deep, with a high
iH4dici collar. is of black fur. the kind
&Hl<ed caracal, with a border-quite
broad one-of fine chinchilla, The
1u1fy collar comes far up about the
Z, Xhrpat, giving a soft look to the skin.
NJ ¬her wrap, which only French
Foman could wear, and which has the
box of the cape worn by some coquette
ho is posing as gentle Puritan, is
H a dark fur with cape coming to the
H&houlders, the long ends crossing in
FONT and hanging at the back. The
Ugh collar is open in front, and long
LEG iabot hangs far down and contrasts
we'll with the fur, while tho turned
over collar shows its lining of ermine.

but nobody speaks to this body, whose
