Hat brims are not nearly so wide

as they were. The Charlotte hat h-as by no means had its day and ovneod the most noticeable ones worn was of colored suede with n- very high full draped crown, a double pleafted brim, which almost obscured' the coii1ure and no trimming whatever, save a band of pink satin ribbon tied in the iyack in a loose bow andends.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A SPRING EPIC.

Ohh the country in the spring

time! Is there anything like it ? The Joys that sinise and flow through one as he wanders, and discovers the lit- tle spring flowers peeping out. It is then that one feels like chucking his hat in the air sind shouting with a hundred lung power.

It's when the sun comes out with

a springlike bound and reveals to our horrided senses unnecessary iilth and untidinew, that our hearts in re spouse to our spring-created emo- tions cry out in wild* anger algsinst the papers on the streets and. the to- bacco Juice on the pavements, which on a bright and glorious Sunday morning are intensely apparent.

In summer the emotions are rc-

flllondcd toi in a. most lotuseafting manner. We long-'bo glide over the water and dip our hands in the cool, briny liquid, while our happy joyous thoughts are mnlgnided by tha gg", luxurious music of the militia-men, waited to our ears on the summon breeze from Fort Edward, and our friend the moon points out: the mys- terious beauties of Victoria Park. If* it BTI? wonder throngs of }.,c.u:'ire

seekers some to our shores wnnn there are such inducements here dur. im: nun lsr too-nesting i-.nm.n.._.-1 Would that I had the Den of a Wordzr- worth with which to do justice to the beauties of Prince Edwm~d~ Island in spring and summer!
