shower Proof Hats.

Quite one of the latest things to save
women from the fretting and worrying
attendant upon being caught in q
shower of rain with a new hat is told
by an English visitor to Vienna. He
says that the Great park. that favorite
resort of the Viennese fashionable
world, was one day recently crowded
with gayly dressed promenaders In
their loveliest spring attire when the
unexpected deiuge suddenly descended,
with disastrous results to all except a
party of four ladies' who nevertheless
had borne the brunt Of the storm like
every one else.
Removing their dripping hats and
simply giving them a gentle shaking,
these ladies then resumed their head
gear, whereupon the flowers appeared
even fresher and more lifelike than ever.
They were the invention of a beneficent
Austrian genius who deserves the un-
dying gratitude of the feminine world
for his discovery that celluloid pre-
pared in special way provides a mate
rial out of which the most delicate arti-
fetal flowers of every kind can be
made, flowers that are not only almost
indistinguishable from natures handi-
work, but are absolutely uninjured by
the heaviest downpour of rain.

ARTS, July Paris. as every
one knows, has the reputation
of being the most beautiful
CITY in the world. During tn,


city In the world. During the
last few days the Vile Lumiere has
more than lived up to her renown. In
fact. every nook and corner of the gay
capital has been a mass OF blooming
flowers, every householder competing
for the prize given by society called
Le Nouveau Paris, which for two years
pas held fiowery competition for the
pest decorations of windows and bal
ronies. Paris is singularly adapted for
such floral decorations. owing to the
ornamental facades of the houses and
the many balconies. which If adorned
with plants and flowers would trans
form monotonous streets into veritable
gardens of loneliness.
This competition not only helps Paris
to uphold her enviable reputation. but
encourages culture OF flowers among
the masses. The first prize, which con-
sisted of an exquisite Seyres vase pre-
scented by the minister of public In
struction, was won by citizen living
in the Rue du Temple, whose terraces
and balconies were gorgeousiy deco
rated.
The floral show eliminated In the
fetes des fleurs, which took place Sat-
urday afternoon in the Alice de Long
champs This flower fete is an exceed
ingly popular function. the proceeds of
which are devoted to fund for those
who fall victims to duty. The weather

carriages. many OF them beautifully
