The newest thing in hats is of espe-
cial interest now because if it goes"
it will be repeated in the summer
models, and the device being thus test
ed at present is a soft crown of vel
vet with a wide, pouchy brim of sat
in. A single but exquisite plume
stands straight up against the
side Of the hat, a little to the
front. The plume is the new kind that
has no wrong side, it's tip hanging
heavily over almost half the length
of the feather. This plume is secured
by a jeweled buckle, and that is the
whole hat. A woman with the right
face, her throat shrOuded in overfall-
ing ruchings of lace, is Il picture
right out of a frame in such a hat, but
though the model is from a famous
designer it is almost too simple. too
really artistic, to be adopted as fash
iOnable. Yet in summer materials the
crown of velvet, the brim of tulle, the
feather of contrasting colOr-it ought
to be accepted.
More elaborate creations have a bet
ter chance of being copied, and for
that reason the two models pictured
here are more likely to become fash
iOnable types. The upper one was
round shape in green fancy straw, a
prOfusiOn of primrOSeS and foliage
trimming it. From the left side rose
an aigrette effect of long stemmed
flowers and loops of green and white
satin ribbon. The other hat was an
early spring model and was made of
pansy and pink mirror velvet. Pan
sizes, lavender ribbon bows aT5 black
wings trimmed it. ~
Plumes are employed in n oddly
characteristic manner for dresSy Oc-
casions. One black and one white
plume. each being handsome at
the tip and so set that they bend
away from each other, are placed on

DIFFERENT OPINIONS.

Col Levy, district attorney of Bex-
ar county, is credited with having &C
complished the difficult feat of closing
the variety theatres and gambling
hells of San Antonio, which goes to
prove that the law covering such cases
is sufficient and that the trouble lies
in its non-enforcement in nine cases
out of ten.-Brenham Banner"
The district attorney seemed not TO
be aware of the sufficiency of the law
until he was defeated for the office OF
mayor. Probably the sports aided IN
defeating the candidate for mayor and
he yet feels sore over the result.-Flo-
reSville Chronicle"
The Chronicle does Mr.. Levy an in
justice. Mr. Levy has only been do
ing his sworn duty in trying to lessen
the evils, that cannot be entirely sup
pressed. Mr.. Levy has not been as
vicious and personal in his prOsecu-
tiOns, as some others who preceded
him.

cream ground was striped and flower
ed with light blue. Two bias folds
of light blue satin trimmed the skirt
at the hips. and four similar bands
Ornamented the front of the bodice
Belt, collar and the tiny sleeve puffs
were of satin. and lace cascade fell
from the left shoulder, lace ruffies
being added at wrists and throat.
Women with small waist and large
hips, and there are more of such fig
ures than there ought to be, will well
come the quaint little model that al
lows the skirt to fit closely over the
hips and then be adorned with pair
of fOunceS that are set, one under the
other. about the skirt. The top frill
at the sides begins just at the finish
of the round of the hip. In front
and at the back the frillS droOp till
the lower one is about the knees. These
frills stand out perkily and the skirt
below them spreads suddenly. You
see. even if the hips are big, the sud
den spread of the frills will contrast
them into slendernesS, while at the
same time the waist need not be rob-
bed the least bit of its trimness.
What are called matinee breakfast
gowns are coming to the front. They
must be less ornate than reception or
theatre gowns and more dressy than
street or mere calling gowns. They
must have, too, some characteristics
of the street dress, because the wearer
is supposed to walk to and from the
matinee. and some characteristics of
the reception gown, because what is

shown here should be satisfying to
the wearers and makers alike. That
at the left was made of light red
cashmere. its full skirt hanging in
deep pleatS at the sides, The little
bodice had a cut-Out filled in with a
white silk yoke and collar, its double
revers were black velvet braided with
lace, and the sleeves had tight cuffs
and small puffs. A fancy cord Orna-
ment appeared on the bodice in front,
and a belt of red satin ribbon cOntin-
ed the waist.
Blue and white dotted cloth was the
fabric of the other little dress, whose
skirt had a panel of dark blue silk
in the centre of the front, pearl but
tons Ornamenting the cloth edges. The
bodice was gathered back and front,
had n blue silk yoke and a rippled
basque. Neither of these dresses offers
serious problems for the mother who
is accustomed 10 make her daughters
clothing and each one would make its
little wearer as proud as a duchess.
Bows of the age of these pictured
IaSSipS used to have as little to say
about the styles of their get-ups as
their small sisters. but it looks as the
youngsters had won their mothers
over. for it is a fad now to put the
little chaps into long trousers. as soon

ENTHUSIASTIC BEGINNERS.

Though women of fashion in half

haven't the freedom of choice in dress
matters that their elders have, their

MOMENTS TAILORs BUSY.

To judge by the appearance of a

HER WINGS ARE STARTING.
The newest dressy bodices into

which at the shoulders seem in rear

king this appearance as a cue, one
daring woman surprised her friends
with a gown that had a pair of the

the sleeves, and which served to en-

wings were gray, spangled with blue,

Celebrations are rarely as odd as these
they are in great variety and in many
cases show no little ingenuity. Puffs
grow smaller and fewer, and when
they are employed the aim should be
TO have them in some unusual shape.
The narrow, high puffs shown in this
picture answers the purpose nicely, be-
ing quite as unlike the late dropping
full puffS as are many of the more
involved Celebrations. This gown
was biscuit color cashmere, and green
velvet ribbon trimmed the skirt and
furnished the belt. In the bodice the

hardly necessary to add that such
