The millinery parlors of Mrs. B. F. Wells
were as attractive as usual with large dis
play OF some of the handsOmest creations of
the art. All colors and great variety of
materials are in favor this year, ana we find
them at Mrs. Wells rooms combined in
artistic groupings and combinations very
pleasing to the eye. One large hat had a
black and white brim, with jet ornamental
ton, and a chinchilla fur crown with long
algrettes and large knot OF burnt orange
and white velvet Another very stylish hat
was OF black plush and chiffon, trimmed
with blue silk and light blue and black
velvet grapes. A big white beaver hat with
very long black French plumes, satin bow
and white kid carbochons attracted much
attention, as did also large black picture
hat made of clusters of tucks fastened with
pearl beads, and very elaborate white
leather fastened with bow of black
Louisine ribbon. The bonnets in this estab-
llshment were equally beautiful and artis-
tlc, ana found many admirers and buyers,
and the nobby outing hats sold rapidly
Mrs. r. P. Chase's show window attracted
a great deal of attention and was the object
OF much favorable comment. The base of
green velvet and background of delicate
white materials made pretty setting for
the handsome goods displayed there. The
centreplece was wax figure wearing
large picture hat in beaver, with ostrich
plumeS and jet buckles. Other attractive
| pieces a IUbita hot <r;,,
with black velvet and parrot plumage; and
daintly trimmed white picture hat,
In the millinery parlorS the visitors were
all attracted to grey squirrel hat, with
white grapes, white velvet foliage and
chiffon, one of the most stylish hats of the
season. A hat in black paon velvet, with
long plumes and dropping effect at the back
represented two days work of a skilled
milliner, and the result well repaid the out
lay. 1t was beautiful production. Novel
ties in swayed kid, made up in warm effects
were very taking. Real Persian lamb and
ermlne were used in many of the hats.
j. w. Ferguson Il Co. had an unusually
full and attractive display. One of the
handsome hats in the window display, sold
to Boston lady, was turban in castor
and white, and with handsome feather
plume shaded from a medium castor to pure
white. large turban in blue and green,
ntershaded, and with jet ornaments had
only to be seen to be admired. We find here
profusion of black chantilly lace and
black velvet, in combinations at once strk-
ing and artistic. A black Chenille and let
turban, trimmed with scarf, with draped
effect at the back and jet carbochons was
the centre of an admiring group of ladies.
\ black and white turban, with white An
CORA fur and jet ornaments, crown of black
velvet and lace applique drew admiring
comments from all. A very handsome hat
had Il black brim and was artistcallv fin
ished in taking combinations of Jet and
orange effects
Mrs. II. b. Cunninghams window was
deservedly admired, and there were few
passers-by, as all who saw J. and had an
eye for the beautiful in millinery entered to
! inspect the stock inside. The centre piece
| of the window display was gladiolus pre-
| sented by Mrs. r. Ii. Moody for the occa-
sion. The hats and bonnets in this stock in
cluded the very latest styles and materials
made up in beautiful and artistic effects
The popular Angora and grey squirrel fur.
palne velvet, paon velvet, camels hair felt,
silk chenille, Louisine, Jap and taffeta silk,
jet, shell, rhinestone and metal, feathers,
breasts and wings are all used in the most
approved combinations, and produce effects
that always please the eye The ribbons in
Roman stripes, plaids and morain, and silks
in plads and solid colOrs work into the gen
eral effect very artistcally. Blue and
green are much used in combinations with
the standard blacks and whites. A novelty
| French sailor hat was deservedly admired,
and is one of the most popular styles worn
in New York this season. The stock of
Miss Hattie NJ. Black, in portion of the
store with Mrs. Cunningham, deserves
special mention, for in it may be found
everyth ing in lady's wardrobe except mil
linery, shoes and outside garments. The
and latest styles. Her all wool garments
have the texture and finish requisite for
winter wear and the applique and fancy
dress trimmings give evidence of careful
selection and attention to the latest and
most des rable goods in the market.
Misses NJ. E. and l.. p Ellis had two at
tractive display windows, one devoted to
millinery and one to sofa pillows, gloves
and hair bows. A silk sofa pillow embroi-
dered in tulips formed handsome centre
piece for the display. The centre hat in the
millinery window was trimmed with black
ribbon edged with jet, made up in tiny ruff
ties, and with a long ostrich plume under
the brim and scarf of chiffon embroidered
with chenille and jet at the back. Two
white fet hats rivaled each other in attrac-
tivenesS. One was trimmed with a bow of
black tafeta silk, the silk edged with small
! black and white bias checks. and with
broad folds of black velvet around the up
per and under brim. The other had band
of black and white checked silk around the
edge of the brim and two black and white
pompOmS at the side front. The Misses
Ellis have used large quantities of plush and
and also of the popular patterns in black
and white checked silks, and their creations
in the prevailing black and white relieved
blythe popular blue and green combinations
= and the new shade called coo ue-de-roche
deserve the popularity they have attained.
