the character. If q round hat or a toque
or turban is more becoming to her than
bonnet, a round hat 1t will be. Nor
must you be surprised to see the woman
of forty crowned with a stylish toque
nova days. Black lace hats arc pre-
dicted for early spring. One / saw was
trimmed with large balls composed OF
spikes OF Jet, with a bow of pale sky
blue ribbon striped with satin. Three
or four of the largest loops stood erect,
while the others formed puff on the
edge and below the rim.
The second illustration will give you
good idea of a style Of round hat which
promises to be very popular. 1t is made
up in lace, crinoline, chip, or straw-lace,
which last is usually faced with tulle.
The hat pictured in the illustration is in
black crinoline with futed edges, garn-
tured with velvet bow and white wing
The backs Of many of the large hats
will be turned up high and filed In out
side with roses, foliage and lilacs A
border of roses will in many cases eX-
tend entirely around the hat. The bows
of ribbon in the front will be long
Gold GALLON looks very well as border
for black lace hats, and a very stylish
effect is attained by yelling the roses
which encircle the crown with lace.
And speaking of lace, never have 1
seen so much of 10 used for purposes of
garniture, lace berthas, lace basques,
lace tabliers, lace founces, lace drapery,
lace blouses, together with ruches. pan
iers, knots, jabots, twists, slashes, ruffles,
headings and trimmings of black or of
white lace. But in striving for these
deliciously vaporous effects in lace you
should be very careful to secure perfect
ha hot nj no
tone of your material. Soft blues, straw,
pink and pale-grccn often go charmingly
with dark eyes, while deep tones har-
monte better with pale-blonde coloring.
Gold and silver embroiderings promise
to continue to be quite as popular as they
have been. But they must be used more
dlscreetly, not so iavishly as they were
during the winter season. III you want
to give particularly refined and elegant
air TO your gray, blue and green dresses,
trim them with black embroidery. Steel
ornamentation will show itself on spring
dresses in the shape of galloon orna-
mental borders, peared lace, buttons,
etc. But there is no danger OF its
crowding out gold or silver garniture.
Says an eminent authority on dress:
The well-dressed woman is always we'll
dressed. Beau Brumme.l, in the days OF
MS ucCllne anu ldll OUT Oi INC SlgnJ OF a
cold and Indifferent world, was once re-
monstrated with by his valet upon the
uselessness Of undergoing the fatigue of
morning toilet when there were to be no
callers. "But you are here!" replied the
almost forgotten hero of faShiondom, in
a tone tinged with pathos. IL seems to
mo that the fashionable woman follows
this dictum nowadays. She makes a
careful toilet even II she Is not going TO
show herself in public. Her servants
and mavhap her husband and children
might see her, and II II none there be,
then she would be sure to see herself
anyway. Louis XIV. once said: ~Take
away this mirror; / cannot brook the
rivalry of even a shadow OF the grand
monarch"
One sees nowadays many delightful
morning costumes for indoors--charm-
ing negliges so rich that tho pity is they
may not be seen by a larger public. IL
lustration number three ses fourth one
OF these altogether lovely costumes for
the boudoir. 1t Is made up In yellow
white flannel. The corselet is In some
colored silk, and must be boned so as TO
secure the desired contrast Of clinging
and flowing effects. Over the panel,
