The newest hat, the hat which every
pretty young girl ought to have tor Easter
day, is called the Greuze or shepherdess,
and is the most absolutely fetching thing
you ever saw. 1t 10 little straw thing,
bent in front to form a scallop or two, with
a wreath of roses under the brim, and a
knot of ribbons on top ana long velvet
ribbons hanging down at the back. III
you really want to know what it looks
like, look at the pictures of shepherdesses
on Vatican fans. OF course. such hat
must be worn by a very pretty girl, but
nowadays everybody is young and pretty,
because the taking care of ones self is an
art more thoroughly understood than 1t
ever was before.
Talking of the fashions, it is gravely an
nounced that two shades of blue will be
most in vogue, garter blue and st. Patrick
blue. 1 have always thought green the
shade specially dedicated to the saint about
whom il is so positively announced that
he was gentleman, but it is Just possible
he may have had some blue affiliations.
Garter blue is dark, rich tone, not at all
trying, but a little brighter than the deep
navy. st. Patrick is paler shade, touch
ing on the Mazarin. The first is probably
much more becoming than the last Blue
is a good color for the summer, because it
always looks cool, and so, for that reason,
all the pretty girls are likely to wear it.
However, If the prettiest girl ofall wants TO
look most in fashion, she must get her
self up after one of the pictures from an
old-lashioned book of beauty. Her hair

shepherdess' hat, with a wreath of roses
inside OF it, while about her waist must be
a deep glrdle that will make her look a
lit e short-waisted. She can pose with a
rose in her hand, although when she is
without her hat the rose may find place
in her hair Just behind her ear. III she is
really as charming looking as she ought to
be, the artist in popular favor will do n
picture of her, exhibit it, and she will
have a notoriety that would have fright
ened her grandmother, although she per-
mtted her face to show in the old-fash-
Toned book.
The mania that women have for posing
for artists is something astounding. II
began in Paris, it went to London, and
now it is here. The daughter OF well
known American had her picture painted
by a celebrated artist, a picture in which
beside her birthday suit, she held a mask
up to her face-that was her costume.
That picture has been photographed and
Is very generally sold through the United
States. and yet it is not known here, as 1t
is in Paris, exactly who the girl is. / do
not think New York women aspire to this
at least hope they do not; but when
they begin this wretched cant of doing
things ''for arts sake" with soulful soul
and capital A, | feel as if the impos-
sible were to be expected.
How have you gotten along with your
renunciations?
/ heard man wish that some of the old
women who give life to dead scandals. and
who Ia k over, with morbid and ghoUlish
glee, the misfOrtunes of others, would re-
nounce this world-the flesh having re-
nounced them and the devil having no use
for them, and made me think of what
could be renounced.
Women who dye their hair might re-
nOunce the chemist.
Lawyers and doctors might renounce
obs
Pretty women might renounce firta-
tons.
Actresses might renounce painting their
eyes so much.
Housekeepers might renounce bad cook
ing
Men might renounce gambling.
Women might renounce indigestible
sweets
There are good many things that might
be renounced, but please, good Mr. Editor,
don't renOunce Bah,
