in Paris for early spring are o
plated straws that are SO soft an6
pIiable they are folded into shape in
stead Of being sewed and pressed
Folds ike great tucks pass arOund
the entire front, leaving the crown
indented, or else two box pleass are
folded leng.hwise down the crown
and the braided straw is pointed up
ward in the. middle of the brim
Another feature is the marrow gimp
like straw braid which is used in ~
colors for tile entire bonnet, and fer
parts OF palmer straw bonnets. Flat
hraias in ribbon widths are employ
ed for trimmings in loops and bows
precisely as ribbons are. There are
also straw cords. straw embroidery
and straw buttons fer trimming
Brussels net, tulie gauze. and the
crepons of which parts OF the bon :
nets are made.
English walking hats are more
e.ahorately trimmed than those
during the winter. They are made
with varied crowns. but the tapering
crown indentedion the top is prefer
red The close brim may be faced
with velvet or not, as the wearel
prefers. Two kinds Of ribben form
the trimming. one Of which is usual
~ white, which shows along the
edge of all the loops and ends ar
ranged up the front, left side, and
back CT the crown, taking away the
severe effect of this rather masculine
looking hat. Toques and turbans OF
straw have long crowns, higher
in front than behind. and are
trimmed with embre striped rib
bens, or plain faille or velvet draped
along the edge in two Loops that
follow the length of tie crown from
front to back. Tive or three braids
of straw sewesl together form q kind
of straw ribbon, which is set in up
right loops in front. or else passes
down the middle OF the crown. The
Tosca shape is similar to this, and
is shown in straw and also in net.
One model is of dark green chip
trimmed with black Brussels net
arranged in loops in front and pass
ing to the back of the crown from
the right side. where it falls behind
in long scarf, which is passed
around the neck. then brought down
in front from the right shoulder, and
fastened to the left side of the cor.
sage at the waist line, where it is
held by DOW of ribbon. Tea roses
are masseG in row without foliage
aong the left side of the crown and
under the brim on the right side.
The scarf end is q yard and a half
long. and is made of the net doubled
and edged or bound with ribbon.

The first short dresses worn by
children from six months to one
year (by boys and girls aiike) are

yoke of fine tucks. with feather
stitching or embroidery between,
with sleeves slightly full at the
and full skirt hemmed
and tucked below, then gathered 20
the yoke. For the second year.
''baby waist dresses are made with
belt, yoke, and full skirt; these have

med erds may be added at the sides
of the belt, and tied behind in Il
large bow
The new Louis Quinze suits OF

sewed. The little jacket of this suit
has bread short back, with short
fronts curving away from the neck to
show the embroidered b!ouse-like
front, and also curved open up.

linen braid for the trimming. The
collar is square behind, in sailor
