Batter and Eggs taken at Cash prices WI.TAYLOR & SON Spring -Fashions.: A Brief Descriptive Sketch. 4 The Styles in Millinery this Spring have. brought into prominence such a wide range of shapes and patterns that it seems incredible that any lady's head should be unbecomingly dressed. The Bonnets are all very small but are greatly diversified in shapes and maintain their popularity with the ladies probably because they give tbe hair the best chance of display and do not derange the downy frizzes that so gracefully encircle the forehead. Perhaps also the very high esteem in which they are held in English Court circles has created a wage of favor for them that has rolled across tbe ocean and intensified their popularity here. At any rate th avorite adornment of the crowned heads of England is also chosen by a host Canada's daughters to adorn their crowns. As to hat shapes there ' literally no end to their variety. Flat brims, _ waved -up brims, slashed and contorted brims, Rembrandts, Amazons, Tricorners, Sailors and Turbans of every description all are rivals for public . favor. WALKING HATS have taken a bri3k start and appear In larger sized patterns than formerly. Black satin wire frames, covered with plaitings of silk illusion, nets, guipure and other laces, with jet bands and prquets, have taken a wide space in Milliners' preparations for Toques and Bonnets. Another new feature in wire frames is the various colored satin crowns. Legborns flats with open work straw,bent into shapes and trimmed with lace, flowers or plumes and ribbons, appeal to the admiring eyes of Misses and children. In straw braids there is great variety in chips, satins and fancies such as Corn -husk', Swiss and Tuscan. One of the latest novelties in straw is the plateau "Czarine" designed in Paris. It differs from the ordinary plateau in being made in circular grooves and in being very pliable and is pinched , up and bent into innumerable shapes without destroying the original design, . In SILK GOODS Moire and Satin are the lenders, and ribbons show a gpeater variety • of patterns: P103 •ribbons au e: mostly,, double, faced, while fancy patterns are simple in design -and chiefly composed of dots, stripes. and small flowerets in a lighter shade. The Alsatian bow is perched on nearly every hat, and the wire -edge ribbon is the new wrinkle, for frilling, rosettes and standing loops, while streamers hang on behind. Lace might be designated as claimant for the very front rank in trim. mings and black white and colors are each scrambling•for first place. Ivory - point, Venetian, Chantilly, Bruges and Bayeux as well as guipures are all in it FLOWERS are found in profusion on all the hats and every garden favorite has discovered a corner for itself. Ostrich tips have refused to be crowded, from their throne and are found standing around on the hat brims wherever they can find a footing, without showing the slighest preference for position. The prevailing colors are white, cream, pink, wood, mordor4 bluish grays, fresh greens, ophilia, a little of the poppy red and the whole series of light yellow, wheat, maize and straw. �I • We have attempted only a meagre desemiption of the patterns and styles in millinery that are candidates for your favor. You will have an oppor- tunity -of seeing them in their beauty and they will be glad to speak for themselves at our opening on Saturday, Iylarch t'4tb. You will find the range of prices as satisfactory as the 'range of pato'' terns and colors. Call on Dir." BEES:LI1 COM. Ladles Favorite Eatabli:hmea, BEAVER BLOCiI`1
