half inclosed, great velvety pansies and
all the dear old field flowers gathered
into s.posies, such as children love
'You can't put white and yellow and
red and green and blue and pink and
purple all together. one person said
once ''They would look simply awful
Now we see poppies, bluets. butter
cups. dai~ies. violets and 'spinksters.
all gathered together with their green
leaves among them, and no one stops
his horses to look at them, unless it is
to think of the days when he trotted
over the meadow for bouquet for
mother.
The shapes of the hats are as varied
as the faces they are intended to adorn
One of the cutest and pertest Of all the
new things was hat with sugar loaf
crown and the back of the brim bent up
and the wider front brim bent up still
higher The hat was of shirred brown
tulle with beads sewed along the shirred
places The trimming consisted of very
rich cream colored satin ribbon loops
and two very delicate yellow ospreys
There were strings of this ribbon to tie
under the chin, and on the left side
above the temple, to rest on the hair.
was small bunch of yellow satin but
tercups 4 more sedate hat was of deep
prune satin braid straw. Around the
crown and under the brim in the back
were masses of small wood violets with
scarcely any foliage. In front was a
crushed rosette of ivory white velvet.
Four sharp wings gave distinction
three were jet black and one white.
While one looks well in demure
shepherdess form and another in a
walking hat, still others look best in
saucy tilted affair which no enc could
adequately describe. The brim will be
tip tilted or twisted or turned some
way other than the first intention had
been Flowers. ribbon and lace make
the rest.
For a middle aged lady there was a
lovely bonnet. 1t was of net on lace
foundation. In front was butterfly of
fine chantilly, and at the left side
dainty close bunch of forgetmenots
This season the violets belong to the
young. A couple Of rich black tips stood
up out of another bunch Of flowers at
the back There were black velvet
strings.
There was one bonnet Of black lace.
the brim being formed by very full
ruffie CT fine chantilly The lace ruffie
was then twisted around wire until
it formed a spiral some four inches
high There was no touch of color. but
the effect was elegant The pretty half
moon shaped chantilly wells, with their
delicate borderings and their dotted cen
ters, are frequently used TO make or
trim small evening bonnets Nothing
could be prettier.
There are many hats which are ar
ranged to carry out scheme of color
For instance, one hat viii be all gray
in dozen different shades. or browns
ranging from maize to seal or pale lilac
to deep prune Black and white con
tinue to be very fashionable in millinery
and in garments
The tailor suit has now departed
from its severe plainness, SO that one
may say there are three distinct styles
of tailor costumes. One has the sheath
skirt, faring widely at the bottom, with
n blouse jacket stiff with stitching or
braid Another has a three piece skirt,
worn with or without a tunic. and the
third has the regulation severity of line
gnd finish. and with that goes the short
jacket. The jacket is scarcely more
'han three inches longer than the waist
Inc and usually has fly fronts Just
plain, fat collar belongs with this and
leeves as devoid Of ornament
