WOMAN’S WORLD.

The Pariscnrn' bubs her hair an-1 wears a small clocl’p- : :: j- o with hig:h blocked crown, often wholly of ribbons —browns, J enn i. red. all greys ai;d black, also cnsl::r.•••«.* mixtures arc the colours of Ihc m• ■:•'n!. The mail-. U : i.-ti-s of til's spring milliner-.' is na'.b nr but tiny hates are <b :i<l‘■»!. I•> ! i.s lop* that this vogue wiii eh « ;im- gra. l •.■ll. . so that we may :rc larger <•:: p.■lines during the suimii : . So far. In . \v« vi r. it is improbable. ami the n-tison of this is that many girls, and even women, have had their hair cut. and that in consequence, the only possible hat is a very small ••cloche" prit'y much like a policeman’s cap, tkai ( n!i! recovers the head, leaving just a l tt'.e fringe on each side of the choi ks. O: course this is very youthful and becoming, but to think that' almost, elderly woman wear thorn is rather ridiculous. The shades most fashionable for this early season are:—All shads of brown, havana, henna, also greys of every hue. black, and a lot of i cd, not to .speak of cachmcne and embroidery in gaudy colours. ribbon, whether it makes 4Vie v. hole hat, which then requires nothing else, or whether it comes in big flowing bows; feathers arc still made up into motifs and wings, which are a nice trimming on small hatsf. As to flowers, not very many are seen, unless they are of a very small size: primroses, daisies, &c. f sewn one by one cn the rrown, or under the brim, which is rfien slightly turned up. Large flowers are not at all in demand, but since ribbon is so much the craze at present, and will therefore soon become' common, a revival of flowers may be expected during the summer. Veils come in as trimmings, and only two or three inches hang from tilio front part of the brim, just to hide the eyes. Hat pins are on'y used as trimmings, small bonnets needing none to be kept in their proper place.

Small hats arc the rule in New York, says "Elite Styles.” Cloches in a variety of straw and silk combinations, trimmed with fancy pins, broad ribbon bows, &c. Embroidery is much used and the lob ornament also appears in character -with its use on the frock and suit.

For the older and more conservative woman there will be turned-up shapes in the front, ati the side or in the back and plumes of ostrich, glycerined or natural as well as coque will bo their trimming. The close turban will also have its say, for winter hats call for email shapes.

Woollen or Silk Jumpers. When washing woollen or silk junipers use warm water. Ho.t water shrinks wool and impoverishes silk; it also spoils bright, colours, and gives white a yellow tinge. Make a soft lather, but be careful not to use too much scap. Do not rub jumpers but just squeeze each part gently in the soapy water. l<7se two warm waters for rinsing. The drying of a jumper is most important. A flat surface is the best method. Tak e two parallel lines, and peg a muslin curtain firmly on to the line at each corner. Spread the jumper i.n the curtain, and leave to dry* Outdoor drying is always preferable. Do tot hang jumpers to air. but put a doth on a tray and lay the jumper lat. Add a small quantity of powdered jorax to the last rinsing water whet vashing a Shetland wool jumper. Thif iclps to keep it fluffy.

.fere is a many-tie red Parisiai mu-del frock for which a tricotine o: light-weight velour will do admirablj well. Fur, favoured as a trim on mos' garments, is featured.
