 The arrangement of the millinery room was so neat and tasty and the attendants gifted with such politeness, that one easily felt at home and at liberty to make most critical inspection and comparison, quite an advantage to those of a disposition to be timid or backward.
 This year velvet coverings for hat brims predominates and some new toques have appeared, pot the torpedo l shapes of last season, but with wide | blocked crown and soft looking, nar- row brims. Owing to the upward wave | brims of most smart hats and to the way in which the shapes were mounted on high bandeaus, their effect was de- cidedly jaunty.
 The Cavalier hat of dark gray velvet, plain covered and a willow frame, at- tracted much attention. It Is simple wide flat brim, the velvet on a true bias from front to back and side to side, the edge bound first with mus | lin and again with a wider single band. A London creation shown had a white silk crown, circled with a double box-pleat or ruched silk with frayed edge. The double brim was of drawn silk with a triple piping at the edge. and a bandeau of the same at the back ornamented with silk rosettes.
 Another novel Idea on display was shown int A long toque with the right half of the top of crown cut away and | replaced by folded velvet. which is continued as decorations for the right side of the brim. The cut piece of felt
 was made into a quill with velvet cord center, and adorned the left front of the brim held in place by a serpent l coll of velvet, which was continued in a fold round the left side of the crown. | This hat was all self color, the model | shown being in cedar brown. A varia- | tion of the above was shown in light fawn, in which the cut piece of felt was | formed into a broad leaf, edged with gauged velvet in dark brown.

 A rich pale blue chip hat was an- other smart model of long Ooat shape | with the brim frightened into the crown at the right back. The trimming con- | sisted of a band of pale blue velvet | ribbon round the crown finished in a l tie bow, with fish tail ends at the right front, and a pair of long white sail | wings resting along the left side of the brim and caught at the front by three small bows along the stem.
 A Parisian importation was a bril- liant violet felt the underbrim faced with silk applique embroidery and caught up on the side with a long steel buckle, holding dark green coque | plumage.
 Another was one-tone, clover bios- som color velvet and wings. the wings shading to white. The feature of this hat was the cut in the brim on each | side of the front.
