Hat brims are not nearly so wide

Moss roses are in high favor, also
roses with combination wistaria hy-
cinths, and trails of moss roses. The
favorite- straws are those with rough

Russian net veiling is one of the
most popul-ar veilings, and comes in
all the new shades. Square auto
veils in chiffon and spotted gauze,
with plain and fancy border are
shown this season.
Feather boas of three, four and ilve
strands, 70 and 90 inches long are
in high favor. They come in black,

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.
