noon.

How does 1t look?" inquired madame
anxiously. She was standing in front of
one of the great pier glasses in Schune-
man e. Evans millinery department, a
glass that reflected tall, slender woman
of pronounced brunette type. On the
dark hair rested an adorable creation a
bit of spring in miniature, as 1t were. 1t
suited perfectly the face that, wisely, it
did not try to shade Madame felt salts
fed, but still-well, one longs for fem
happens to be near.
Marian, do tell me how this looks, -
she called over her shoulder to a slip Of
a girl in blue.
The girl In blue was in front of anoth-
er glass, surveying with no little com
placency a sapphire poem perched on top
Of her soft brown tresses.
20, It's perfectly lovely she replied,
with a readiness that aroused madame's
suspicious. CHANGING over shapely
shoulder the latter found her suspicious
confirmed. Marion was altogether too
absorbed in her own pretty reflection and
in the dainty chapeau that crowned 1t to
heed her friend. AT first madame looked
annoyed then she laughed, and, walking
| over to her friends side, the two stood
| side by side before the great glass, AMI
| presently were heard two little signs of
| perfect content. They were enjoying one
of the great pleasures in life.
The hat on the head Of the girl in
! blue was a picture hat IAN empress Log
! horn" the saleswoman called 1t. All
about the crown and brim Of fancy straw
! was a putting of the palest blue mousse
| line de sole, and on this was sewed tiny
| strips of straw braid. Then there was a
| touch Of that beautiful color, petunia,
| and some exquisite honiton lace and pale
! blue satin streamers.
Jack ought to see you in that" sad
| madame, with a tantalizing little laugh.
The girl in blue blushed prettily' ana
| mentally vowed he'd have that pleasure.
Then she consented to look at madame j
hat, and gave little scream Of delight.
Its one of the new Miss Hobb hats,
explained the attendant. The hat was
exceedingly chic There wasn't bit OF
flower about it. The crown was of sat-
in leaves, and about it and the rolling
brim was a drapery Of spangled horse
| hair, the sort Of material one fancies that
fairies delight to fashion. There was
some billowy mousseline de sole of palest
blue pulled underneath the brim, and vel
1 vet straps and loops at the back.
IF I can only persuade Tom that the
price is really not too bad for ones East
err bonnet" said madame, as, with sigh,
she removed the alluring bit of millinery.
mo" said the attendant, in response
to a question put by the girl in blue,
there are no absolutely new shades fer
this season All the pastel tints will be
popular You know what these are, no
| doubt?" Madame wasn't quite certain
''Wen," explained the girl, obligingly,
they are the dark and light tints Of each
! of the coIors, and because OF their dell
cacy give far better results in trimming
| than the celors themselves, That Is one
| of the new mushroom shapes, she ex-
planned concerning another hat. The hat
| Is what is known as the brow hat, be-
! cause It rolls back from the face. This
! hat was Of fancy straw of the palest PINK,
| that had also a suggestion Of heliotrope
about 1t. Tucked taffeta in various shades
| Of pink draped a crown that suggested
the sailor The hat turned up at the
| back. and an immense velvet bow with
| berries and autumn foliage rested on the
| hair. Madame particularly fancied gray
turban. The gray was of that pearl shade
| that men are fond of talking about. The
| trimmings were of black ribbon velvet,
! large punches of it; bouquet OF pinks
that looked as If they might have been
picked in grandmother's garden, and some
| cut let ornaments. A hat much admin ed

| shape, and the name is most descriptive
! of the hat made of castor braid. rhe
| facing was of pale blue crepe du chine,
with bands of moss-green velvet intro
! duced between the braid and the crepe.
A new pastel face ornament completed
| the trimmings. This modified wa king
| shape will be very popular this spring,
| said the attendant, taking down charm
ing affair that, 1t was difficult to believe,
was related in any way to the severe
fedora. Over crown and brim was d"apeu
a straw netting. A big putting of tucked
| liberty silk knots Of velvet ribbon and
a bow of pastel pink made effective trim
| mings Directly in front was ore of ths
new. and what will doubtless prove to ee
very popular, ornaments, two tobacco
leaves Of black net
Madame and the girl in blue were sill
discussing hats with undated zest when
the former happened to glance at the tiny
| ieWeled timepiece she carried and gave
an exclamation of dismay. Just fancy,
| Marion It's after 5. We've been here
| two blessed hours. Come, dear, remember
we dine out tonight" and so they left.
But not before they had made approving
| comment on the red draperies and red
| flowers that transformed the great mil
| linery rooms into apartments of unusual
beauty. Not until they had peeped into
the little French room and admired Its
| appointment of turquoise blue. Not until
they had paused before the immense case,
behind the plate glass of which were some
exquisite white hats grouped about bas
ket splitting roses. I'VE will come again"
! said madame, with charming smile and
a nod of thanks 81 wonder If Jack will
