SOME EASTER HATS.
Ideas of Hats, MuGs and Other
Things for Matron and Maid.

Ideas of Hats, MulTs and other
Things for Matron and Maid.
New York, April SIT is not only the
Easter matron who has an Easter hat,
but the little Easter maid as well Just
about now there blossom out in the parks
and on the bouevards. in the avenues
and along the handsome streets, bevy
of youngsters wearing hats as brilliant as
though picked from the gardens of the
gods.
The Easter woman can wear an Easter
hat made of almost anything but il is
the little Easter maid who surely comes
out respondent In newness. One of the
most beautiful Easter hats for a child
that was sold in New York this week TO
be worn on Easter Sunday and Easter
week, was of scarlet taffeta made over a
wire brim. The taffeta was shirred and
ruffled until the brim was completely COW
cred. On the top of the hat was then
thrown bunch of peoples which were
caught in careless fashion so that they
would hang down nearly to the brim of
the hat.
Most childrens hats have streamers.
This one was tied with long ends of
white chiffon. The bow was red one
which hooked under the chin. The
made bow gives the child less annoy
ance than the tied one, which must nee
essarily be stiff and close under the chin.
But not all women sacrifice themselves
TO their children, and from the gardens
of Easter hats that We're sent forth IN
- IL q he - f,-
week can be plucked one that is so stately
in its beauty that it is almost classic.
The shape of this hat IS a Gainsborough.
But a Gainsborough cut on '98 model.
All the new Gainsboroughs this year
have the evenness OF the English walking
hat They are not eccentric; they are
bent down in the front and down in the
back with the sides evenly up-turned
This one which will blossom out so gaily
for the Easter services is Of quartz color
ed straw and bound with brilliant purple
velvet two inches deep around the brim.
Under the side is set a bunch of the same
flowers. The loops of velvet are of quartz
and parme, which is the new shade Of
purple. 49,
The dress which will be worn with this
hat is Of quartz ladies cloth. This is a
very pretty blue steel color. The fasten-
ings and small metallic trimmings are of
cut steel, and at the throat there is a
very large fichu Of quartz chiffon.
They say that the only woman whose
coat ever flies open is the one who wears
a coat lined with bright satin. This one
Is lined with brilliant parme satin which
is put on to the very edge Of the cloth so
as 10 show its hue.
There is another legend anoat to the ef-
feet that no rcman who does not own a
silk petticoat ever holds up her skirt But
with a silk petticoat to match the trim
mings Of her hat, it becomes a sort of
intuition to hold up the skirt so as to
show the petticoat. The Easter woman
of this tale-she of the quartz gown and
parne hat-will wear for her Easter
church going and Easter calling trips, a
skirt of loveliest bright parme silk.
Around the foot It has a sun plating
which shakes and rustles as she walks
She will wear parme colored gloves, and
