Not so long ago, the hat of straw was never worn before Easter and its appearance finally proved that spring had come, but this custom has become almost obsolete.
 E. Nj. Barney, the tailor, has bought he button making business of the eople's Store and so added several new sizes to his already large stock.
 New sweaters button high to the ears in rolling collar, which may be turned back; also they are closed by a iouble line of loops, with buttons to match, and are finished by scarf col lar, long enough to wind several times around the neck, and still hang long ends.
 Valentines and Valentine Cards of quality are being shown at Jeweler Shaw's.
 Many bracelets are allowed Ia Mode this season and they may be of great variety, but only one ring must be worn, and that adorned with one large colored dstone-immensely large.
 We all know this is furniture buy ing season, so I want to tell you of a living room set at Blanchette & Bro- ieur's store. 1t is of fumcd oak uP- holstered in genuine leather, just what one wants for the living room, as it is made for comfort and durabil- ity, with quiet elegance.
 What would be lovelier than cos tune of colored sweater and white flannel skirt nicely accented by a long cape of rust color woolen stuff. The skirt hemmed with rust color, and the shoes and stockings to match. In Detroit recently girl of Chinese percentage was married to Filipino by a justice of Scotch extraction.

 Garments for sport occupy the fem mine mind at present, and, truly, the latest word in this line is attractive enough.
 Long lace wells have retreated in favor of the half lace veil, which falls only to the tip of the nose-and often barely covers the eyes. By way of variety the veil with the chenille dot has been resuscitated. It is thought to impart a greater decorative value to the tailored hat than the veil of plain mesh.
 Little Louis XIII basques, which have had such success in satin, bro- caded silk and in velvet, are now cop jed in tricot. These frilly little basques are enormously chic.
 The dress hat with soft crown and wide brim, the latter with fiange of maline, has reappeared. And about the base of the brim grow beautiful flowers of satin tinsel cloth, velvet or chiff on, in glowing or subdued colors, as the wearer may choose. The most brilliant colors are reserved for the sports hats, frequently of felt, of mar row ribbons jonied in allover effect, of taffeta or of worsted. Worsted and raffia embroideries predomi nate on such hats. with an occasional quill made of plaited ribbon. Velvet rib bon in some bright hue usually enclr- cles the sailor hat of rough or tagal straw or of Panama straw. | New tailored costumes, prepare for 1 the South, show an adornment of mar row black silk braid instead of fur or | limitations of fur.
 Some of the imported hats are of shiny satin known as sh5e satil. These are of small or medium shape and fewer trimmed. Importers of mil linery predict that this will be a tiow- CT season.
