all been of coarse braid. Much Of it Is in
two colors, or even four are sometimes
mingled. One taking little toque had the
crown of yellow, green and black checked
straw. There was a front of folded nut
brown velvet, with one pert little bow of
the same over the left side. On each side
the toque were great punches of primroses
in natural colors, part of them standing
upright in fashion quite remarkable for
flowers Of that kind. Still it was necessary
that they should stand high to carry out
the idea of the milliner.
A girl with brown eyes would look too
lovely to ever forget in such toque. A
still prettier hat was Of bright blue rough
straw, with low crown. This was sur
rounded by crushed loops of ivory white
grosgrain ribbon, with daisies and yellow
buttercups twined in and out among the
loops. On each side there were tufts Of
black cocks plumes curled sharply. For
those who do not care for flowers so early
In the season there is u pretty flat hat with
the front of the brm straight and the back
curling up in Louis XI shape. The crown
Is but rudilnentary. The straw is of fine
milan braid to the edge, where it changes
to basketlike pattern. 1t is in dark
green. A plating Of doubled green gros-
the left side there is a bronze green wing
with yellow paradise tail. A pale pink
coral ornament is put on the right side
and little bunch of rich lace at the back
Just under the brim.
Alpine walking hats in light and dark
felt will be worn to great extent this
spring. They have the crown rounded
oftener than crushed in the center. With
tailor made gowns these hats are peculiarly
suitable. They may be strictly severe, or
they may be quite ornamental. One Of q
deep pearl gray felt had heliotrope velvet
band. On the right side there was bunch
of black quilts, held by little bow Of coral
pink velvet.
The straw hats are In garnet, heliotrope,
green In several shades, brown, blue, black,
straw and checks. One black milan braid
was rolled at the left side, and at the edge
of the hair there was bunch of velvet
pansies. The trimming around the crown
consisted of crushed velvet looping In deep
plum. A few curled heron plumes, q cou-
rle of black ostrich tips curled down over
the brim, few sharp little black wings
and fancy steel half moon made most
beautiful hat A garnet straw with wide
brim and high crown was another new one.
The brim turned up high in the back,
where 1t sustained three large black empire
tips. Around the crown and up the right
side at the back was frill of fine lierre
lace, held down in one place by a crushed
bow of forgetmenot blue velvet. Directly
in 'front.' ana on the left side were bunohes
Of those dainty 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 around. One queer shape is
exactly the form of a jockey cap, with a
very long peak. The crown is cf straw,
and the peak Of buckram, cove ed with
velvet and many rufiles of black silk null,
all accordion plated. Above that is a
row of short orange colored ostrich tips
vuried under sharply. Black velvet rosettes
bnd strings and q goodly sized spray of
japan ounce flowers finish this i may
add . few last words on mjllipery to say
