A $24o HAT.
Paris Mllliners Turning Out Mighty
Expensive CONNECTIONS,

Expensive CONNECTIONS.
For the first time on record during
the last twenty years, declares the
Paris correspondent Of the Gentlewo-
man, the milliners have raised their
prices. There has been for some time
an cutlery among hatmakers that they
could not obtain the same profits as
the dressmakers, although they had
the some class Of clients.
They considered it unreasonable
that a woman should pay as much as
$1,000 for a dress, and the very high
est price they could obtain for a hat
was $50. To-day there Is no possibili-
ty of complaint on their part, for they
are making hats. and selling them. too.
at $240.
/ had seen wonderful structures of
aigrettes and m%arabout at $140, and
thought we had reached the limit, but
the $240 hat is an extravaganza that
do not care to qualify.
"Surprising?" say the milIiners,
mot at all. People wear real lace
upon their dresses, why should they
not also have 1t on their hats?"
was curious to see this sensational
hat, and arrived just as it was being
packed in Its cardboard box, a circle
of admiring assistants in ~ecstasies at
its beauty. 1t was a large capeline in
straw with a collar of Venetian point
around the crown-the lace alone
worth $150-and a small mountain OF
marabout and aigrettes on one side.
Such extravaganza is not only wick
ed but unnecessary, for after all, who
wears q hat Of this price? Not a
young woman certainly. Such foolish
display can only come from an old wo
man, and she would do well to be
more discreet.

Married the Family.

A wealthy widow was about to marry
a widower, whose sole possession con-
sisted of a family of small children.
A friend of the prospective groom
met n of the children, a little girl Of
six years, and said:
Where are you going, Jenny, all
dressed up SO fine?"
I'm going to a wedding" she said,
proudly.
Whose wedding?" was his next
query.
Mrs. Noble's," replied she.
"And who is Mrs. Noble going to
marry?"
why" said she, in an astonished
tone, don't you know? She's going to
marry u.s."
