little blue flowers made in velvet.
Others Of the new hats have large punches
OF roses at each side, mostly in sprays with
all the leaves and buds. Some though have
Wreaths of pink crush roses all the way

Japan ounce flowers finish this. I NAV add
Few last words on millinery to say that
small plcayune roses, violets and small
punches Of lilac are all used in profusion So
are pansies, roses and sweet peas nasturtiums
and clover and mignonette. Coquilicot red
geranlum red and jaqueminot red are often
all put together on one hat Greens blues
puppies, creams, yellow in a dozen shades
and browns all in their most brilliant shades
are seen on the millinery of the season. Black
lace and white tulle, or vice versa. are very
refined for evening bonnets, with white willow
plumes and perhaps a silver rhine or pearl
ornament, or pink roses.
On one hat l noticed a bow Of green satin

millinery and say a few words about the
other things that make life worth the living
The latest list of the seasons coIors gPyes
us a wide choice. The browns as I said run
through all the woods from mahogany to but
ternut, and from there they strike off into
tans, biscuits and all that list and there are
al the tobacco shades from havana to seal
which really is just the color Of the old navy

almond, tlleul, sort Of linden and pantaiD
Ihe old olives, MOSES and rush greens are
sun with US, and the invisible green is also
SHOWN as we'll as myrtle and lincoln and
kashmir and directeur. In puppies we have all
the standard shades. with the addition Of
orchid Opehlia and dahlia Parma and yio-
lette are two shades of violet
There are some changeable colors too pref
y not to mention. One has a maroon with
orange as counter color. Another has
lemon yellow and a deep velvety dahlia An

that mower, and a chrysanthemum which
runs the gamut Of all the yeliows and dun r
9ark reds. Silver gray is the most fashiona-
Die OF all the grays, and there are many of {
them. Black and white in dazzle stripes are
shown.
The new grenadines in black. both silk and
wool, are considered as among the most stvl-
Ism as well as elegant Of the new goods
Bultlng n the same coarse, rough quality
as lndt used Tor HagS is the newest. This
we all know, is very wiry and stiff and 1t
requires careful handling by the dressmaker
Inc chief beauty Of ii is in its long, rich
iolds It loses all its best effects when cut
into small pieces. A bunting gown therefore,
ought TO be laid in deep plaits at the ton
ana not gored. Black. dark blue and creamy

Ing. But | was told that it would soon be
presented in all the leading colors of the
season.
Plaids are taking a prominence rarely ac-
corded them at this season The small checks.
shepherds plaids. louisines and rich Irish
poplins are popular. Some gowns are
made entirely Of plaid. But the greater
number have velvet as panels belts and 9TH
er combinations. 1t really requires velvet
accessories to bring out the full beauty Of
a plaid. Most plaid is beautiful. But. then.
most dressmakers spoil it by not treating
1t rightly in the making
Among the very prettiest Of the new sum-
mer fabrics is the silk warp barege This
is very sheer and soft and silky. The gr%%lnd
IS delicately colored and has faint figures Of
flowers upon it. They scarcely show but
when lined with silk of the proper shade they
appear to spring into color and prominence
There is a new organde which is called aft
have. This organdie lisse is printed in the
soft and elaborate Persian designs that make
paimetis so eXquisitely beautiful. This is
also quite strong. The new Swiss muslins
have all the old regulation dots, large or
small, and other designs Of small flowers
sprays and queer scroll-like figures. These
are worked in white, and are exceedingly
nainsooks, with heavy cords running at in
tervals lengthwise, and they have small floral
figures very naturally designed.
