The FavOrite Spring Hat.

Early in the wiutcr the hat that
turned mp In front justly received its
Que Of favoritism and fattery. It's
successor in the spring will be an airy
thing Of silk, muslin or tulle set on the
side of the head, and with q wide
spangled brim turned up on oil sides
equally. Already we see somo lucky
women, who have their headgear all
hot from Paris, wearing these delicate,
ciittering gowns, but meantime many
sensible souls content themselves
with pretty tulle trifes they can really
fashion with their own hands. These
are very popular for theatre wear, and
are made first Of a ring Of hat wire
ahout the circumference Of O saucer.
Wound tightly around this is slack
satin or white satin ribbon and then
loosely goes a winding OF tulle. The
tulle ring just encircles the top Of the
head aud at sone point in its circum-
ference, usually just in front. a trft Of
silver wheat, with two loops Of tulle,
As fastened. This simple ornament
passes for q bonnet and is a becoming
coronet and a SNOWY one on any head.

Economy in Bridal Presents.

ut is scarcely the right thing" said
q young bride, "to loo.2 a gift horse
in the mouth, and yet it's hard not to
speak ones mind on a matter OF this
kind. It does seem to me that people
might think a while before buying
wedding presents. / am sure if they
had done so I wobld never have re-
ceived seven cruet stands. What in
the world am I to do with them all? I
can only use one at a time, Or at the
- es1" what ia IN hecnme nf
the other five? It's just too perpfex-
ing flor anything. If I could only
show them. it wouldn't be SO bad; but
I can't even do that"
"Dear me, I don't know why you
should worry over such a little thing
as that" observed her sister, who had
been married nine years. "Those
extra cruet stands will come in handy
by and by. Select the one you want
to keep, and then put the others care
fully away. Whenever any of your
friends marry, let a cruet stand be
your gift. It'll save you lots ofmoney.
When [ was married I received four
fish knives among my presents. I was
cross until some n gave me the hint
that [ have just given you, aud then I
was happy. It wasn't long before |
had made good use of three Of the fish
knives"

The November Msteors,

1t is not too soon for lovers of the
marvellous and beautiful to be getting
in readiness their small telescopes
and field glasses for observing the
myriads of shooting stars which calcu-
lation has billed to make their appear
ance in the early morning of the six.
teenth of next month. Large tele-
scopes will be OF little utility ON that
occasion, but such small instruments,
such as field and even opera glasses
can be quickly focused upon the
scene and they will aid the eye in
taking in large area OF the piano.
ramic display.
The meteors which fall at this time,
November 16, are called Leonids be.
cause the radiant point from which
they appear to emanate is found to
agree very nearly in position with the
little cluster of stars called the
"slckle" In the constellation Leo, the
Lion.
These minute bodies pursue in a
long drawn out shoal the orbit of the
comet of 1866-67; the comet always
preceding and the meteors following
in its wake. 1t is barely possible that
another display may occur on or
about November %. This shoal con.
stltues the train of that body known
as Biela's comet, and the meteors en-
anate from point in the constella.

In order to effectively take advant-
age of this celestial exhibition, it will
be necessary, of course, to devote the
whole night to watching for the an.
pearance of the vanguard.
