Fashion Notes from London.

LONDON. March. 14. The rigid humanitarian is going to her path of kindness hard to walk if she is attracted by the latest of the piqnaij, toques that are filling milliners’ window, to-day, for not one of those but shows at osprey or a feather ornament such as the humanitarian desires to see abolished and very gay iiud spring-like they appear set as they are, towering high with a sort ol graceful abandon at the back of a small brimmed, round-crowned hat, the crown coveted with soft silk, sometimes black or of a dark colour, sometimes in old dimity patterns and sometimes in something very bold in design and shade. SKELETON FEATH F. RS, though never very graceful or artistic have enjoyed a long run of fashion, and set out this season on a new lease of life. They are trained to terminate now in the note of interrogation top that is le dernier cri in featherdom. CORDED RIBBON that, last year, adorned the girondin and. bowler hats that were then new, is still more used than any other, but it is a season of ribbon bows. MARABOUT TOQUES. If it lie thought an advantage to have’ a hat that appears heavy and that is, in reality, very light, a moujik toque of marabout does so. This can be bought now dyed in the latest shade, and is trimmed with lancer plumes.
