SPRING MILLINERY EFFECTS

All authorities on millinery fashions
agree that turbans will be very strong
ia the early season. All black turbans
VIII be the leading effect, but full as
sortuents of colored novelties are
also being shown.
There are many new and attractive
styles in misses school hats, also nov
city effects, especially for young la
dies from 16 to % years. These latter
are largely in poke styles, and are an
entirely new feature.
Walking shapes with broad brims
and high crowns also claim attention.
Many new shapes are being shown.
The Tam O'Shanter crown with walk
ing hat brim is again being shown,
but these effects had such a run last
year that it is hardly to be expected
that they can again be a leading fea-
ture. Shapes with the dropping shep-
herdess brim are promised d good
share of favor.
Many of the millinery models pre-
pared for spring are quite remarkable
both in shape and style of trimming.
A style feature to be observed is the
fact that brims are irregular in their
outline, rarely being the same width
at the sides. and often very narrow
at the back in bonnet styles. 4 now |
shape is the "Boer." The broad brim |
IS much raised on one side, while at
the other 1t is fias.
Several styles of trimming prevail.
Toques will remain popular. They
will be worn very large, and on the
turban style. Tulle, with large
chenille dots, is a favorite material.
In fact, tulles Of all kinds will be in
great use. Many novelties in straw
1raids are seen, notably those of
iorsehair and straw. Mousseline de
ole in black will be much employed

The Local Security Market.

Summer dullness has attacked the local
business situation. Many of the prominent
business men, and many purchasers as
well, have already left the city, and those
who remain seem little inclined to buy
activity of a week or two ago in the local
stock market has departed entirely, and
the transactions each day are small and
Insignificant. Prices are off several points
from the best recently in many securities,
but there has not been the decline here
that there has in New York. This leads
many to believe that further recessons
are likely, but ON the other hand it is
pointed out that stocks are more closely
held in Washington and less easily affected
by general conditions.
