Violet Leaves for Cancer.
A London (Eng.) dispatch said re

Millinery openings.
The usual Annual Millinery Open
logs marking the spring season was
held Friday and Saturday last at the
various millinery establishments
throughout town, and to say the least
the sight at each and all roust have
been aperfect dream of delight to the
hundreds of fair ones who visited the
show rooms. As the seasons come
around the ever -alert and wide-awake
business men of Exeter show their
enterprise by displays that are in
keeping with the occasion. It has
leen remarked before, and the state-
ment eitnnot be too often r'peated,
that in no town of equal size can there
be found as good an exhibit as is made
by Exeter merchants. The Spring
Millinery Openings this season are a
corroboration of this statement, as
ladies who had visited other places—
cities included—testified to the excel-
lence and superiority of the Show here.
The most noticeable feature in the
newest irnpnrt,►ti(ns is the profusion
miming of tr 111111nged at the backs of
the hats. Another feature of this
season's bat is the bandeau. Nearly
every new merlel has a bandeau, and
it may he placed at the back to accen-
tuate the tip -tilted brim, or at the side,
where the 'obit is either flared or fold-
ed over to meet the top of the crown,
while some of the daintiest creations
have a tiny bandeau in front or even
all around. The shape will take on
entirely different aspects by et clever
handling of the bandeau. Floral trim-
mings were never so beautiful, both
as to form end color, and almost every
bat of any in)portance is adorned with
some sort of flower or foliage. Roses
hold first place in the trimming of
smart headgear, and each season they
appear more attractive. Garlands of
miniature morning-glories, pansies in
pastel, and conventionalized pansies,
and the fluffy feathery thistles sug-
gest delightful effects in the adorn•
insist of Spring and Summer headgear.
One of the picturesque hats of the sea -
is the Corday in hroderie anglaise.
Ribbon or flowers form the trimming.
The newest turban in perfectly round,
with the edge of the rolled -up brim
meeting the crown edge.
