Az It Appears Row It IL an Erratic Jum-
BILE of Shapes and Combinations.
Spring millinery, as it appears just
at present, is an erratic tumble of
shapes and combinations of materials
and colors, with millions of glittering
spangles of every hue thrown in for
further diversity. But, il we avoid the
exaggerated perversions of real milli-
merry art, it is a simple matter to find
the most charming little bonnets and
the most becoming hats imaginable.
A special feature 81 the new millin-
cry is that the flowers and leaves are
mostly very large, the hydrangea be-
ing one of the favorite blossoms. Pc
tunia is one of the most popular coll
ors, and appears in straw hats as we'll
as ribbons. The wide effect gained by
| wings and outspreading bows is still
| q dominant characteristic of both hats
and bonnets, but the broad Dutch bon
net, so fashionable all winter, has
grown little point in front, which
makes it resemble the Marie Stuart
shape, and is infinitely more becoming
to the majority of faces.
The jet bonnets, with their punches
of bright flowers at either side, arc
very attractive. Three shades of one
flower are usually grouped together,
and three feathers also. Fine plait-
ings of chiffon, with either flowers or
feathers, are arranged from both hats
and bonnets to fall on to the hair at
the back, and q curtain of lace caught
up in the middle is another fancy. A
pretty jet bonnet with wide-spreading
wings Of jet is trimmed with cream
colored pansies above the ears. Vio-
lets and roses are used in combination.
and roses in all the unnatural colors
are mingled with the uncommon tints
Of the new ribbons, which are lovely
with chine figures, and both satin and
velvet stripes.
The chapeau rond is one of the new
hats of the season which has straight
round rim and is very becoming. VIC
let-colored straw is trimmed with vio-
lets and green fern. Cavalier hats are
trimmed with large roses and bows Of
glace silk. In fact there is every shape
of hat imaginable, and the straws are
SO soft and prettily colored that mid
dle-aged women will find less trouble
than ever in getting becoming hat.
Toques are little larger, but they
are to be worn as much as ever. Deep
yellow straws, trimmed with VAL
enciennes lace, will be popular later
when the warm days are with us. An
other style of hat, called the Welsh
shape, turns up at one side, and one of
black chip is prettily trimmed with
bows of black Killed net, edged with
jet, and black ostrich tips with an
aigrette rising from the center. The
new sailor shape is much like the old,
except that the rim is crinkled. One
of green straw is trimmed with a wide
bow Of black lace and satin and three
large punches OF mauve eonvolvuli.
with ivy leaves and white berries.
Iridescent wings are feature of the
bonnets. A pretty CONNECTION has a
crown of sequin jet embroidery over
gold tinsel. iridescent green wings,
and fan ends of fine French lace with
punches of pink roses. A butterfly
toque of Mechlin lace has bows of
amethyst glace ribbon and piquet of
tea roses. A small fan of lace falls on
the hair, fastened with brooch.
Bows and rosettes are placed on the
crown of some hats. Rims are often
faced with black killed chiffon, and it
is q relief to know that all hats are to
be worn we'll on the head and perfect
