SPRING MILLINERY.
New Ideas For Materials and Trim
mings For Hats and Bonnets.

Tulle. silk net and lace compose n vast
number of spring hats, with the addition
of flowers, especially violcts, primroses
and roses. Toqucs entirely of flowers are
seen and are of generous size, two kinds
of flowers oftcnest appearing in them,
as forgetmenots and small pink rosebuds,
violets and convolvuluses. Some touues
are composed of grapes and foliage, and
grapes are largely used also as part of
the trimming of hats and bonnets, being
one of the most noticeable novelties of
the spring. Berries, foliage Of all kinds,
moss and twigs are among the most i'm
portant millinery trimmings.
Hats of taffeta are simple, pretty and
new. They are made with bias folds or

SPRING STYLES.

Some of the Newest Fashions In Mil
linery.
For a young girls first ball a gown
with belt is usually worn, as it is more
juvenile in aspect. The form of evening
wrap for a young girl is the short cape
with a high medici collar. A large bow
of white satin with long ends is placed
at the back of the collar.
Many tulle toques are prepared for the
demiseason as stage of transition be-
tween velvet and felt hats and those of
straw. The model toque is rather large,
fits well to the head and curves to the

front. Few flowers are used except VIC
lets and other spring blooms. The trim
ming is not tall, but long, the clusters of
flowers being placed at the side toward
the front.
Spangled chenille composes numerous
very elegant hornets. especially for wo-
men past middle age.
A great deal of ornamental foliage is
used. Wide surah ribbons are another
novelty and are employed not only for
millinery, but for cravats. as they do not
easily crumple.
A picture is given which shows a bod
ice Of peau de sole. 1t is fitted at the
back and drapcd in front, fastening on
the left shoulder. Lines of narrow black
velvet adorn the wrists and the tops Of
the sleeves and appear upon the belt col
lar and edge of the drapery. Choux COM
posed of loops of narrow velvet held by
small steel buckle form additional trim
ming for the wrists, collar and front.

ALL YACHTS WELCOME.

Yachtsmen who intend visiting the Ex-
position at Paris between cruises viii be
gratifed to learn that Pierre Baudin
Minister of Public Works. in recent
official communication to Mr. Cpalding
director of athletics for America, says
every facility will be afforded the visi-
tors. He takes the correct view when
he says that the presence of the yachts
would constitute a great attraction for
the public. Foreign pleasure sail yachts
provided with certificate of admission
to the Exposition will have free passage
from the Channel or the Mediterranean
or vice-versa over the navigable courses
below mentioned without special author
ization: Seine, Rhone Canal to Cite.
Aries Canal to Bouc, Canal st. Louis.
Rhone and Saone to the entrance of the
canal of Bourgogne canal of Bourgogne,
Nonne, Seine.
Steam yachts will be admitted on the
presentation of documents in proof of
their being in order with the regulations
corresponding to those of the decree of
April 9, 1893 edicted in their own coun-
try. The Commission of Surveillance.
which will take charge of these vessels
visiting France, will act with all pos
sible speed, in order that they may
never be detained in the port of exam
ination more than eight hours by day.

versally agreed in England that he has
earned his new dignity. A soldier and
the son of a soldier, Sir Claude joined
the Seventy-fourth Highlanders as a
youth, and in 1882 served through the
Egyptian campaign, being present at
the great battle of Tel-el-Kebir The

gained that willy way he is credited
with possessing as a diplomat, by
which he was enabled to get the better
of the estimable Ii Hung Chang in a
bargain for territory. In accordance
with England's invariable rule that her
representatives shall be well trained
and the fact that position in her dip
lomatic service means one for life, it is
only natural for her diplomats to take
the lead in international discussions.

Power Replies.

President Power is sill being annoy
ed by Magnate Strobel and some writ
ers at Toledo, as will be seen by the
| following, in a Pittsburg paper:
The reports from Toledo indicating
that every contest in the Interstate
League winds UP in riot are sent
broadcast to drive people from the
games and ultimately disrupt the lea
que 1t is true that two games have
recently been forfeited by visiting
teams in Toledo. 1t is also true that
released several umpires. but not one
of them has been let out for enforcing
the rules.
Only the other day I received a let
ter from Strobel in which he said:
You pay too much attention to COM
plants against umpires.' He followed
this up with: If the Toledo team
meets Umpire Blank on the road, it
will refuse to play, even if | forfeit my
guarantee The day previous the UNI
pire in question removed a Toledo
player. This umpire is considered ty
the seven other members one of the
best men the Interstate ever had. Yet
Strobel would have him dismissed be-
cause he enforced the rules.
Heretofore when fines have been as
sessed and the league directors met in
the fall, Strobel has been the first to
suggest that all fines imposed be re-
mitted. The players known this, and
it is almost impossible to maintain
discipline. The two players respons-
ible for the trouble in Toledo last Sat
urday will stand suspended until their
fines are paid.
THE statement that Toledo has held
the Interstate league together is rather
broad. l am accused of throwing out
the game forfeited by Mansfield, also
the game forfeited to Columbus by
Wheeling. l have done nothing of the
kind. These games are counted in my
standing as victories for the Toledo
and Columbus clubs. AT our fall meet
ing the board of directors can throw
them out if they see fit."
