much more than any other kind, and the
sitter It is tho better. For very fancy waists
the finely-plaited chiffon and mousseline de
sole, combined with Jet and steel trimmings,
will be worn. Fawn Is ono OF tho favorlte
colorsi and skirt made Of this color in any
light material and belted with colored vel
vet belt is most effective. The wraps are
shorter, fancler and more odd in effect than
ever, and they come in every Imaginable
shape. The Elton jacket is also quite popu-
lar, Of cloth to match the skirtand lined with
tncy silk Of some pleasing contrast The
craze for bows OF every kind seems TO have
reached its limit, for u seems impossible to
invent any more kinds than are seen at the
present time. Among some odd combina-
tons seen are pique and velvet and one OF
the latest novelties for tailor.made whist
coats is antelope skin.
Millinery is more and more odd and beau
tifulas the season advances. Broad brimmed
hats seem to prevail. until, to see the unique
and tiny bonnets, and they, too, are so queer
and fascinating with their odd little shapes
and colors, when even the determined mind
hesitates which to choose. Mignonette
finely sprinkled with Jet is largely used pop
pies are also seen. The hats are made Of
combinations OF straw and lace, and hat
commenced in lace will perhaps end with
straw edge and feathers and flowers, velvet
and lace all mingled in confused beauty
Chip hats, fiat In shape, come In all colors
and gilt spanges are on everything. The
hats are bent in all sorts Of shapes to suit the
wearer. The Princess Nicotine shape ls very
popular, and each Indy wearing It imagines
she looks quite as fascinating in 1t as Prin-
cess Nicotine herself. Tie sailor hat is also
used this year, hut the brim VARIES from last
season, by turning up slightly on the edge.
Fancy colored aigrettes Of green stems are
used considerably as trimming for these
hats; nearly all the straw hats come In two
colors. The walking hat is again in vogue,
and as 1t is now trimmed is thing Of ele-
cameo and beauty. Tho crown is rather tall
with curling brim. Chip in both black and
| white is brought forth FOR the first time in
m1ny seasons. Streamers are on many o
| the new hats, but do not think they will
| last long, as they have q tendency to make
most ladies look older. The jet bonnet still
holds its own and Is as small as the round
hat is large. Jet tlGras combined with velvet
in becoming colors are much In favor. The
hair still continues to be waved and tn,
knots grow smaller and smaller, but tn,
waved hair, II neatly done is bound to max,
even plain face look attractive, and hal
the so-called beautiful women would b
really ordinary looking were 1t not for tn,
exquisite tasto displayed in dressing tn
hair. Spring flowers hold an appropriat
sway. Cowsllps are among the fayorites, an'
on black hats they are particularly becoming
Black roses and violets with dash Of iet ar
novelties that are beautiful, although not 4
season. The velvet geranium is really anon
the most beautiful trimmings. strass buck
les and rhine-stones are used in both hat an
dress trimmings. Aigrettes and iette
frosted rosettes are among the faneied trim
ming. Next week will tell you all a6ou
