The Early Spring Millinery.

Ac no other season of the year, perhaps, does the fashionable woman devote so much time and thought to the seieitionoi headgear as when Spring is dawnim? and new gowns .are the order of the day. There is a fascination in the Easter hat or bonnet, and every woman will appreciate the smart modes illustrated in the March Delineator. These are for the most part of foliage and flowers and worthy examples of the milliner’s art. The flowers used in adorning the new Spring hats are small and, in almost every instance, natural in color. The favorite decoration this season is the delicate edelweiss or snow-flower Ben Wallace’s menagerie, in winter quarters at Peru, has received an in crease within the last few days by the birth of twin lion cubs and a zebra. The latter Is a very pretty little thing and is receiving as much care as an ordinary human baby. The lion cubs have been taken from their mother to keep her from eating them and they are being fed from a bottle. Mr. Wallace has the only pair of zebras in the country and the arrival of the last little colt makes the third one that has been born to the pair. Including the two new cubs, Wallace now has thirty one lions.
