THE AIGRErTE.
MOlt Costly of All Feathen and Difficult -
ficult .to Get.
A bird on a hat may 01' may not
proclaim its value , but an aigrette ,
that most fashionable of all feather , ' .
er ornaments this season , tells in
no uncertain language to those
who understand that it is much
more than worth its weight in
gold , says \Yashington Star.
Feathers flutter from here ,
there and everywhere ; upon the
hats and heads of fair women , but
the aigrette has both a history
and a romance attached to it. For
no other dpcorai ive feathers do'
men so imperil their lives , and a
steamship company < runs a special I
line of vessels , yet the aigrette is
merely a small ornament for wom
n n's hair OJ' decoration for her ha t.
It is to feathers what the orchid
is to flowers , something very rare
beautiful and 1)I'oe11l'ahle only
with more OJ' less risk to the
hunter.
Rome of the most fashionable
aigrettes come from Venezuela
Rome from the port of Baum , in
Brazil , some from the island o-r
Trinidad and others from a thou.

from Liverpool to a thousand
miles up the Amazon , and thence
to New York.
In Brazil the markpt value of
aigrettes in the crude state i4l
about , n an ounce for the long
and $ 31. for the short variety , witl1
even higher values for those eom .
ing from Venezuela and Trinidad.
Tn New York the wholesale price
for crude feathers is from f2a to
$30 ; per ounce for the short 01'
"eross" feathers , and from $7.5(1 (
to $10 per ounce for the long vari
