tons as symbols of the victory she has
achieved in her fashionable millinery
opening. Truly she has succeeded in
exhibiting to the ladies' of Augusta
some of the most beautiful and move
styles in trimmed hats to be found on
the Kennebec. All the decorative at
fractions. though lovely, fade before
the wonderful specimens of fashion
able hats she and her able and fair
assistants have created. The moss
basket in the window with the grace
full bird and bright berries. the
delicate trailing vine. elegant figure and
a few novelties, artistically arranged.
give evidence of exquisite taste. There
are lady readers of the Journal who
may not be able to take i'm this not
able millinery display and for their
benefit a picture to the minds eve of a
few sample hats may not be amiss.
The new DoN style turban made of
brown velvet, prettily stitched with q
heavy gilt buckle in front set off with
two mink heads, one of which has
pushed its head through the buckle and

consist principally of castor silk edged
with white silk cord. the crown also

has taken more pains or worked more
aSsiduously ana successfully to please
its customers.
