a dainty little dress Of pink lawn wa
trimmed with fine cream lace. Five row
of insertion running around the skirt al.
ternated with strips of material from hen
to waist The waist had a white gimp ana
a bertha of seven points edged with lace.
A double row of fine lace was also sewes
around the top of the bertha. This pointed
collar is a great favorite for girls dresse,
and appears on frocks for small women
of from three to y years. Berthas and
fiOppy things over the shoulders are won
only by young girls. They are replaced
by bretelles and revers for older people
Many of the school dresses are mads

penders. A pretty checked wool maierisl

this the hat was nearly covered with
punches of lilies of the valley and big
red and yellow dahlias. A brown straw
was loaded with brilliant red peoples. A
large bow Of blue and white striped rib

bluets trimmed a white straw hat for a
7-year-old.
Millinery in general is so tempting that
it will be great strain upon us TO wait
until April IA before coming out in our
Easter bonnets. Most of the new hats
have wide brims, which is sensible TO be-
gin with, for summer. one Of the mos.
attractive hats yet displayed was wide
leghorn yelled with a fiounce of fine cream
lace. A Tam O'Shanter crown was
banded with lace insertion over dark vel

From beneath this buckle clump Of
black feathers and cigarettes stood up
like a crest. To give the floral
touch which is necessary pink dahAs
were sparingly added at the back Of the
crown This hat was marked $3.50, but
that is a small matter to people who buy
hats where this one was exhibited.
Another pretty hat was a round chip
hat on the sailor shape with a three-ncl
brim, and moderately high crown The
straw was a lovely leaf green shade, and
the only trimming was clump Of lily
of the valley leaves mixed with leaf-liks
points of white ribbon set on each side Of
a brilliant buckle in front of the crown
yellow chip hat was trimmed with
immense specIed green ivy leaves, cream
lace and red dahlias.
A yellow and white straw hat was
trimmed with fans of yellow, accordion'
pleated, dotted mull and velvet pansies
A broad straw hat turned up in the back
and slightly rolled up in front was trimmed
with satin choux and clusters of green
bitter-sweeti berries and leaves, VIII
feathers and aigrettes at the side.
Small velvet trimmed bands without
crowns, trimmed with embryo horns IN
front and a wide bow at the back are
shown for early spring wear. Most OF ne
small hats are of jet or spangles. A smaA
jet capote combined with ribbon in Two
shades was trimmed with fan-like cow
