SOME OBSERVATIONS.

LooRlhR along any OF the frisco
thoronghfares these days, one sees more
OF yiolets, natural and artificial, than of
anything else. The street venders cell
the fragrant blue blossoms in great
punches flanked.with maidenhair ferns,
at short bit a bouquet, and everybody
buys. The millinery store windows are
banks OF violets, blue and white, artific-
ial, yet looking so natural when the sem
ses are sauied by the:natural flowers all
around you, that one invountariy tries
TO get Il Whit OF the sweet perfume from
the flowers within the glass. And as for
the bonnets, they are a half OF one per
cent wire, one per cent straw, another
per cent ribbon and ninety-seven and
half percent artificial violets. The
hats are OF size approaching the Gains
borough and not content with cram
ming the upper expanse OF surface many
brjm OF the hat at the sides and back.
Violets take precedence by large
majority over all other flowers for
spring millinery. There are few roses
cherries, buttercnps and lilacs, but with
them you will find the violet. Sacra-
mento does not, however, favor the
violet and the hat like Chinese gong,
but rather inclines to poke bonnet style
and yellow buttercup taste. Sacramen-
to 81 ems slow, sluggish anything but
chic and fashionable, albeit they say
the poke bonnet is coming sure to stay
quite while. Cart wheel hats are all
right everywhere but in theatre and
and in civilized communities the ladies
doff therl there-principally BY reason
of the law.
The airy, fairy, summery stuff gar
ment is seen enthusiastically forcing
the season but not among those you
would consider as having any ideas OF
of dress. Colored and striped waists are
seen hut skirts all incline to dark checks
or dark body color and all are of winter
weight. To the eye of your bachelor
friend the suits are swelest of the
SWELL tailor made eel tight gowns that
f1atter the homliest figures and would

the shoulders are puffed or plain and

with the advent OF the prevailing skirt

one OF these skirts he said on any form
il presented a pleasing line from the
waist in front and lost no time in get

veal much of the contour OF the limt on
the side it did not suggest either May
pole or a circus tent. A side view of

thinking he could not absorb technical

seen in San Francisco are more so. The
moisture there gives them beautiful

off color the effect is from the fearful to
wonderful. Our male visitor to the bay
