roses and ribbon, another black Peter
Pan of French felt trimmed with
black wings and ribbon. another of
green velvet trimmed with green and
blue ribbon and white plume, an
other high back sailor of black velvet
trimmed with handsome plume and
ribbon, was much admired: one Fifth
Avenue shape, of gray and old rose,
cut and thrown to the front, trimmed

when he reached this richly and en-

taste to tell everything he saw, but
he remembered a few.
