It has lioon noticed by Ilen-y Ilea.h, who sends hats all over tin world from Calcutta to Fern, that different nation alities posses head of distinctive, sizes and shapes.

The Snitch, ono is not surprised, lo learn, are very long-headed, Canadians are distinguished J,y excep tionally largo beads, South Americans ly very small ones. Australian, again, have rather small head. The subject is an interesting one and worth pursuing fin: her if space allowed. The heads of individuals aKo vary a good ileal from limn to lime, shrink iug during illness or mental worry, and generally becoming smaller with advancing years. As lo shape, then; is such a thing as fashion, but it only affects mashers; men slick lo liuicli the same shape year after ear. Full Mai! (iactto. A Modest Iti-ipiest.

Long capes for iho-o looking for a m-velty will be much worn, and tho demand is already far e.xcuediug the expectations of Ihoso houses which have been producing this style of gar ment. Tho capes are made up very elaborately, many being heavy headed or trimmed with handsome passemen terie or crochet trimming. One espe cially novel garment which we were shown was a combination of a long jacket with cape over and running full length of the jacket. Newmarkets are not by any mr.ins dead, cither, the prophecies of certain man u fad ui crs lo the contrary not- ' withstanding.

Astrakhan-trimmed garments, while going fairly ut present are nm looked upon with uiiuh favor by the trade, and ono loading manufacturer , prophe-iea that they wiil bo a dead teller within sixty day' time. A few weeks hence will prove whether or not he is mistaken.
