Boylau. I'earce and Compauv today was a scene of rare richness and splendor. The millinery departmai I is situated ill the rear of their large establishment, and has been hand somely decorated for the occasion. Large potted paints arranged here and there ill an artistic manner, the lavish use of American Beauty roses and the Uiagiiittccnt display of ladies' headgear made a scene that charmed the ad miral ion of the ladies who thronged the department during the day. It Was indeed a brilliant and successful opening. The very latest patterns am! crea tions of the millinery world have been gathered with the most careful dis crimination and placed at the disposal of the ladies of lialcigh and those in the State who send their orders to this popular ami progressive establish ment. Spring millinery always appears to be chaining it is so fresh and bright, being- in such contrast with the som ber lone of Winter millinery, but this season's really seems to eclipse any former Spring showings. The prevailing colors this season are Keinbrnnt blue, violet, automobile red. reseda green and old rose. Among the pretty patterns exhibit ed was an exquisite little gem in the wav of a grav tuck chiffon, with a simple triuming of gray chiffon, capp ed with a- handsome white feather pom-pom. The effect was heightened by the baiulo trimming of poppies in pastel shade. Another beauty is the Tuscan hat with trimmings and looping of reseda green ribbon, augmented wi.th trim mings of ferns ami poppies, and ban- do trimmings of violets. This hat also enhanced with niedalioii ornaments. The Violet hat. trimmed with scarf effect, is also a lovely piece of millin ery art. This has a hunch of fruit in front, in color, blending with the shades of the hat. The Olga Xethersole hat is a charm ing little pattern and is attracting a good deal of attention. It is made of folds of black chiffon with facing of white. Has a handsome bow of black net and chiffon with a bunch of pink roses near the face. Another attractive style is the To que of lieinbrnnt blue, with straw braid ami chiffon, pink roses and me dallion ornament. The baby hat in white nccorilian inouselline silk is a dainty patent for the little ones. The styles are till pret ty and pleasing. i:ij:ctkd a mormon. Salt Lake City. Clah.

The dimensions of the wing assigned to them arc inadequate, the arrangement inconvenient, the wa ter supply defective, and the heating apparatus incapnMc of adjnslment to the maintenance of that nidl'm m tem perature so necessary to t he proper are and comfort of human beings who are themselves incapable of the exercise of judgment and reaui.

In this direction we have made some consid erable progress. Our chief laundress has been allowed to take a tlioroiifrh course of instruction in that art in a model western laundry, anil as n re sult of her own work is not only more skillful, but she is enabled to leach the female patients employed miller her supervision the economical meth ods of performi n-,' the work nlloted them while liere. but also n menus of livelihood ! when they shall have left our cure nml jronc bne't to the outer ' world Two of our female iuirses have also visited institutions in I lie North and received instruction in Die making of various useful and ornamental household utensils and idoruments. w hieh know ledge they are now im parting to the female patients, giving them a pleasing time tenehing them a useful produetive trade The lack of laud prevents as extensive and as scientific farming as we would like t pursue, but such operations as we are enabled to engage in are so eon ducted as to make 1 hem a source of revenue to the other departments of the Institution, ami at the same time give the patients employed i nst rue! ion in practical and scientific husbandry. To lead their thoughts aw;iy from morbid self contemplation, to widen their mental hori011 and to enlarge the perspective of their darkened lives, is one of Ihr most difficult but at the same lime one of the most useful v orks to be performed in the t rea l -mcul of the mentally iinsmind. "The use of harmless amusement-, the distribution of such bonks as they can comprehend, the placing of pic tures here and there, the frequent ex tension of the opportunity In hear good music all these add to the res ources of the Institution a valuable and an economical restorative agency.

"The opening of the new annex in the rear of I he center building w ill now soon occur. The work has been dour with the strictest regard for econonn . Some of it has been done by the patients themselves. I? has. however, been done carefully and well.
