SPRING MILLINERY.
AS 1t Appears Now 1t Is an Erratic jun
bic of Shapes and Combinations.


Bile of Shapes and Combinations.
Spring millinery, as it appears just
at present, is an erratic jumble Of
shapes and combinations of materials
nd colors, with millions of glittering
Angles of every hue thrown in for
kther diversity. But, if we avoid the
kggerated perversions of real milli-
fy art, it is simple matter to find
} most charming little bonnets and
most becoming hats imaginable.
A special feature of the new millin-
y is that the flowers and leaves are
kostly very large, the hydrangea be-
kg one of the favorite blossoms. Pc
hnia is one Of the most popular col
,Irs, and appears in straw hats as well
Jas ribbons The wide effect gained by
wings and outspreading bows is still
D dominant characteristic of both hats
hnd bonnets, but the broad Dutch bon
net, so fashionable all winter, has
crown little point in front, which
makes it resemble the Marie Stuart
shape, and is infinitely more becoming
20 the majority of faces.
The jet bonnets, with their punches
If bright flowers at either side, are
Tery attractive. Three shades of one
lower are usually grouped together,
nd three feathers also. Fine plait-
ngs of chiffon, with either flowers or
gathers, are arranged from both hats
nd bonnets to fall on to the hair at
he back, and a curtain of lace caught
p in the middle is another fancy. A
retty jet bonnet with wide-spreading
Wings of jet is trimmed with cream
olored pansies above the ears. Vio-
ets and roses are used in combination,
Ind roses in all the unnatural colors
ere 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. Vio-
let-colored straw is trimmed with vio-
let's 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 thai the rim is crinkled. One
of green straw is trimmed with wide
bow of black lace and satin and three
large punches of mauve convolvuli,
with ivy leaves and white berries.
Iridescent wings are feature of the
bonnets. A pretty confection has a
crown of sequin jet embroidery over
gold tinsel, iridescent green wings,
and fan ends of fine French lace with
bunches 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 il
is relief to know that all hats are to
be worn well on the head and perfect,
