red wing put on fiat across the crown.
The arrangement sounds peculiar but
the effect was very chic indeed. For all
sorts of dressy hats the straw employed
is very fine and pliable, so that it can be
easily twisted into all sorts OF forms and
in the hands of clever milliner the shape
is often transformed. Quantities of
fancy and lace straws of all descriptions
are used for this sort of millinery and
many made hats of maline, horsehair
hemp, etc, are seen not only in white,
but also in some of the novelty tones, in
Guiding Copenhagen blues, olive, bright
green and Roman pinks. Flowers are a
favorite trimming, but these are mostly
of large size. Very few small blossoms
are seen. Wings adorn the simpler hats
and are frequently employed in connec-
ton with fancy silk embroidered bands.
Long plumes, aigrettes, paradise and
hackle feathers are seen on expensive
millinery.
The shops are filled with the most
fascinating display of summer dress
goods In white fabrics sheer effects in
both plain and fancy materials will be
popular. India linons. Persian and
French lawns, organizes and fancy EN-
broidered Swisses are shown in great
variety. One of the oovelties is fancy
white pique, which has a device formed
by raised checks, stripes or tiny sprigs,
Sometimes this fabric is entirely white

some delicate color. Among the most

The New Spring HatS.-Small Shapes
POpular.-The Latest Styles In Sailors.
Lace StrawS and Flower Trimmed
Shapes. -0verSkirt DraperieS.
Spring hats have already made their
appearance and even though the streets
wear a wintry aspect the New York
woman of fashion is busy selecting the
latest Partisan creations of straw and
lace, either for wear during the coming
season, or to take with her to Palm
Beach or other southern resorts, where
society loves to congregate. The new
millinery is a degree more conservative
in shape than some of the monstrously
wide hats we have worn this winter
And though the classic cloche or bell
shape still figures among the models
there are several new shapes that are
strikingly novel.
At the openings one sees more small
hats, toques and turbans than chapeaux
of the picture variety. The former,
especially, have been brought out in
large numbers and one of the most
popular types has crown of medium
height with the brim turned up sharply
on one side. In these small hats the
crown as a rule is rather high and fire.
quently quite large, many crowns being
of the derby type. Ifpresent indications
prove correct a good many sailor hats
will be worn this season, and as this
shape is extremely becoming to the great
majority of women, and especially young
girls, the feminine world should rejoice
thereat. The new sailor has rather
broad brim, which in some hats is per
fectly straight, while in Others it Il
turned up slightly either on one side OF
at the back. The crown is rather higt
but not particularly large. One styl'

skirt is far too extreme ever to become
popular, other novelties in the skirt line,
of which we shall see great deal during
the coming season, have just been
brought out. The most effective of these
are the new skirts with the overskirt

of extremely simple character. Some
times the overskrt is simulated by
bands or deep tucks. Again the skirt it.

R.. P. Byers, of Randolph lost a valu-

at noon, the COW was apparently as well

dead in the stable. A post norton dis
closed a six-inch hatpin driven well
through the heart. Mr.. Byers showed
the heart to several men who have had
experience with cattle and it was quite
puzzle to them how the pin got there.
1t had large ball at the end and could
not we'll have passed entirely from the
esophagus. The theory is that the pin
was in the hay fed at noon and passed
down to a point opposite the heart and
that the animal by some movement
drove the point of the pin through the
heart.
