New York, March 1.-Milliners are

told, to choose and choose Alright will

Those who follow the extreme of
fashion will find themselves in some
thing of the same predicament as VIC
tins of the tight-sleeves SO fashionable
years ago. 1t will be remembered that
at that time. when dressing for out
doors the hat or bonnet had to go On
before the dress waist, for sleeves
were more than skin tight and the
arms could not be raised above the
head without great effort. The story
now is that the new hat will require
to be put ON before the hair is dressed,
and one milliner goes SO far as to give
directions as to how this is done.
