Never were there such crude and
violent contrasts of color as are in favor
with the milliners this season. In
window of one of the fashionable shops
yesterday was noticed a hat, whose
framework was of white leghorn. It
was decorated with about seventeen
articles of ribbon, flowers, lace. grass,
velvet, buckles and pin, with a few
birds and spangles thrown in for variety
IL was trimmed around the crown with
violets of various hues and bunches Of
black buttercups, and the whole business
was fsnked by big bow Of magenta
colored velvet.
One of the daintiest and prsttiest hats
seen this spring was a simple shape in
rough blue and white straw. Il was
trimmed with large bows of handsome
blue ribbon, and further adorned with
graceful lunches Of fnatural.looking white
silk lilies But as q rn'e IL seems the
most harshly inharmonious shades are
sought, blue and green being one Of the
peculiarly popular combinations.

A new spring idea Is in the shape
Of strings on hats They are not the
strings girls tie onto their hats when they
take trips to the seashore, but wide
ribbons, which they tie in coquettish
bows under their chins The strings
seem to be most popular on the low
crowned style of hat, with the broad
brim that rolls on both sides They are
fastened at the back. inside the hat, and
then brought around and tied in a
Frenchy knot under the wearers chin.
At 6rst sight they appear very droll,
but they are quaint, and in most cases
becoming. Anyway they possess the
charm Of something new, and no doubt
will prove prizsd addition to the ward
robe of the sumner girl of '04 -
