morning. Prince Hcnry's voyage to
England was mcvenful. The Kron
Prinz Wilhelm proceeded slowly from
Bremerhaven down the Weser, Satur-
day, unded cloudless sky and amidst

Hanseatic cities, bid farewell to the
prince for Emperor William, who al
so sent his brother n telegram previous
to the departure of the steamer.
Takes Interest in His Profession.
After getting started Saturday the
prince and his suite walked upon the
upper deck with some of the other
passengers. Later Prince Henry pro-
ceeded to the bridge, where he held a
long conversation with the captain of
the steamer, and showed the greatest
interest in all the details of the ship.
The prince with his suite appeared at
dinner, occupying a table in an alcove
OF the general saloon. During the
meal the band played German and
American airs. The princes table
naturally attracted the undivided at
rention of the other passengers, but
Prince Henry did not seem to mind
this. After dinner the prince spent
an hour in the smoking room.
Gets Up in the Morning.
He was up early yesterday morning,
walking the deck. In the course of
a conversation yesterday he again
expressed the pleasure he feels Mt
visiting the United States, and added:

The boa has become an inevitable
provision in all comprehensive collec-
tions of millinery wares, whether in
the wholesale or in the retail trade.
With the exception of bOas Of the furs,
which are not to be found generally
in millinery houses. the preference in
the boa, especially for the dress OF the
street. is for that of ostrich plumage-
the lues stripped from the quill and
wound around cord in roll effect Va
rying the choice for ostrich boas
(which. because of the long protrated
war in South Africa have become so
expensive as to be regarded among the
Injuries of the wardrobe, unattalnaDle
by women of ordinary means), are
the boas made of chicken, goose, and
the feathers of other barnyard fowls.
These feathers. plucked usually from
the breast of the birds or of the larger
body plumage, stripped and curled, are
made into boas scarcely less rich and
handsome than the more sumptuous
ostrich plumage. Boas may be classed
as long. and demi-long, the selection
depending upon the taste and the
weight Of the purchasers purse.
Very satisfactory and even beautiful
boas. to be worn mostly with dainty
toilettes. are made Of pufhngs and
huffings of the soft taffetas and satine,
crepe de chine and chiffon-even tulle
coming into requisition for very deli
cate creations. The tissue bOas ter
inmate in longer or shorter scarf
ends. fringed out or trimmed at the
foot. and in some cases strapped to form
several globular puffs, with tassel-
like effect at the bottom. The collar
cites are mostly of multiplied ruffes
of graduated width Of taffeta or satin,
with or without scarf ends, says the
Millinery Trade Review. A late fancy
finishes the ruffes of the cOllarette
with narrow binding of fur to match
the hat and the muff, with which 1t is
intended to be worn. Another pleas
ing method of finish is the cutting of
the ruffes at the bottom in saw-teeth
points and binding with very narrow
black velvet ribbon. A simple finish
is the fringing-out of the rufhes. Rib
bon usually ties the collarette at the
throat. The bOas worn with the street
dress are mostly in black. mixed gray
and mixed ecru: those in white and
in delicate colors are reserved as a rule
for wear in toilettes for visiting, and
for those seen in places of evening
entertainment.

The tailor gowns for early spring
will be more and more like the French,
rather than the English version of a
typical tailor suit. The native French
women have never taken to the tailor
gown proper, a reason for which might
perhaps be found in an answer
.Frenchman made when asked if he did
not think a certain lady of rank very
beautiful "N-nO. I cannot say do;
she does not seem feminine to me in
her harsh gown" This is the French
idea of beauty par excellence, and
though you behold the French woman
clothed in perfectly draped finished and
fitted attire. one never sees a true ele-
gante in severe tailor things with stiff
