Many of the new millinery models are particularly dainty and attractive. Taken as q whole the hats of this win ter are sufficiently restrained and free from exaggeration. and it is probable that the same will continue to be true of the millinery of the coming spring and summer.
 In our illustration we show the very latest and most becoming version of the mushroom shape. The closely Rauged black silk has band of velvet draped round the moderately high crown and drawn into . big chou at the side, while some full blown roses of shining gold tissue and gause put In an effective appearance on the other side.

spent probably the happiest years of his life.
 It is indeed befitting that the monu- ment should be erected in Richmond. Poe's adopted home. where there still live men and women who knew the man and loved him. The movement has now reached g stage where the erection of the monument Is no longer a thing to be hoped for. but an as sured fact The greater portion of the necessary money Is already in hand. Subscriptions are coming in every day from the friends of the genius all over the entire country.
 With the advent of the spring the stage will be reached where the plans are drawn and the artist designated for the work has bent his mind upon the great theme with which he has to deal.
 Charles Marshall Graves of the edi. torial force of the Times-Dispatch. graduate of Richmond college. and a lifelong student of Poe, has probably done more than any other man to for ward the movement which is now just about to culminate successfully.
 Col. Joseph E. Willard, former lieu tenant governor of the state. and re- puted to be the richest man in the south, is president of the Poe Monu- ment association. The association has been formally chartered by the state corporation commission under the laws of the state of Virginia. its purposes being distinctly set forth in the charter. Mrs. Susan Archer Weiss, the only living woman friend of the poet. is bending her energies to the success of the movement.
 The councils of the city of Rich mond have appropriated 35.00o to the monument with the one proviso that an additional sum shall be raised on the outside before the fund shall be- come available A similar fund had already practically been raised on the outside before the appropriation had been made.
 It was because Poe had been re fused place in the Hall of Fame on ac- count of his personal habits that his friends in the south hit upon the Idea of a monument to be erected In Rich mond, where be spent the greater portion of his brilliant and checkered career.
 The monument is to be erected not to commemorate the man but his vorks-not to laud what was human fin him but that which was sublime.

 But there are probably some of our readers who care more for dress than they do for complexion and who arc impatiently waiting to hear the latest from fashiondom.

 Almost all the newest tailor made costumes show the cape bolero of. feet on the shoulders. but in some cases 1t is very subdued. just giving q tinge of the 1880" effect. Indoor blouses are now very often made with perfectly fiat shoulder seams and with the trimmings arranged to simulate . fichu or short cape.
 All of these old-time and truly pics turesque touches on modern COS. tunes are delightful. They make for variety, and lend themselves. when properly chosen, to accentuate the in, dividual quality of each wearer's spes cial beauty of form or face. What is needed to improve the evening and house gowns of to-day Is the copyine of what is best in old-time costumes. as well as originality of creation. There is little that is truly new. save the severe tailored gowns. The evolu. tion of the modern corset has led to the creation of the strictly modern and truly smart coat and skirt combi, nations.
