at the back or side is a help out,

Milliners say that fur hats are

These do not require plumes, al
though they are an elegant ad-
dilioh; a gilt passementerie band
or a draping of gilt or silver net,
or a large flower is all that is
necessary. The tri-corn shape
comes in fur, but the turban dis
tances all others and is often
made of two furs, the brim of

If the lace jabot continues to

the past few weeks, it will soon
cover the entire front of the cor
sage. Frills down the front of
waists and on the outer edge of
sleeves have given rise to these
mammoth affairs, which are GER

no softener like lace. Every one
would of course prefer Irish lace,
but It is too expensive for the
ordinary mortal, except in those
garnitures of very limited di-
mensions. There is positive e.
economy in these jabots, as an Or

purpose and is easily made by
any one possessing reasonable
skill in such matters. Silk or

and Wilmingtonians saw their city in

scores of persons, and 5000 or more
persons paraded the thoroughfare ad-

added to the attraction
Although Market street carries off
the honors for decorations the other
