down IN the latter case, are prominent
among new features. Ends pendant
at the back are longer when in lace or
oIner light fabric. A distinctvely new
feature IN millinery, is ais that of LARGE
limitation pearl or jet beads in strands
or huge cabochons. The latter are
often placed singly and a favorite
method OF combining the two, is in
festoons of beads caught by cabochons

leading millinery finish and have never

New Gowns
are so wanting in novelty as to outline
that need for innovation is expended
on garnlture. Never before | as trim

the shops therefor exhibit immense
stocks in every variety. New cottons

Julia" Quill feathers placed singlv
or In pairs, are quite fashionable and
give an appearance of dash that is often
very pleasing. Usually the hat is Sc

they may appear among flowers and
other garnature of especially lelicate
character.

"Mrs. n. W. Neck boas have
reached the utmost limit of extrava-
gance as to variety in material, fluff
tness and length. Curious pictures
sometimes, therefore, result, az when
the boa reaches almost or quite up to
the fair ones eyes, while the wide
brimmed hat extends down to meet it.
