The "Up-to-Date" is entirely a adies' house.

Prominent stands out a large shape in the new putty shade, profusely dimmed with French, roses in delicate iints, lined richly with guipure. The ratty effect has been quite a feature in English hats this season. A rich model n Natier blue, Paisley lined, with a iharply turned brim, bunches of cornJowera and touches of cerise, is just a picture. Hundireds of untrimmeds are ihown in every conceivable fashionable thade, make and style; and there are •ich garnitures in flowers, floral trails, ea, hers, gimps and buckles in the new ihorfc effects.
