ANEW TOoUE

the left had a bakers dozen of orange
colored chiffon r~osettes set upon wires
and standing up as though they were
doubled m~arigoIds- There was no other
trimming. Three of the rosettes were
placed along the side so that they rested
nn the hair.
A very stylish and becoming turban
was made of sky blue silk null sewed
with black velvet ribbons to represent a
striped material. There was a little
crown. and all the rest was effectively
draped around it. On the front was a
very fine black aigret of osprey. There
was no other trimming, but the whole
business cost $50 and was las cheap as
dirt at that the dethroned queen in
| charge of that counter condescended to
say.
There are other turban hats of lace and
chiffon, one having an osprey aigret and
the other an ornament made of swan )
down set on wires to represent thistle
down. Small. close r~osettes made of chif-
fon~ crepe lisse or silk null are mad in
suitable colors to go with the rest and
put upon the hat or bonnet in place of
flowers. They are very pretty.
The new shapes for straw hats are va
ried, but so far l think the prettiest are
those shown in the picture There are
some faces 70 whom the heart shape Is

black ostrich tips bent down. but scarce
" curled, with a fancy ornament in shape
OF buckle or pin furnish the trimming.
Often there is a shirred facing of tulle
or chiffon to the brim, but for later in
the season there will be no facing at all.
Many ostrich plumes are seen, but they
are generally of the richest and most cost
ly quality. wide and with very long fues,
the ends being unstiffened.
Many straw turbans are black, though
the whole range of eolors is seen upon
others. They turn up all around, but are
twisted into a dozen forms. There is a
drapery of some sort of very thin stuff
held by small imitation jeweled pins.
This is drawn over the brim and wound
around the crown Two handsome tips of
the same color or black are placed on the
side to fall in whichever way they prove
most becoming. The black straw is often
lightened with gilt or tinsel threads. A
very few spangles peep out on some of
the draperies. but not many.
Indeed if the whole Easter and spring
output of hats is as plain as are those
shown at present our hats and bonnets

The white cap" is quilted in such a
way that-well, it is twice as pretty as
1t was before. There are many ways of
wearing the veil. and each woman can
do about what she likes in thai respect.
The latest fancy for young widows aft
er their first three months is to have a
black silk tissue veil, with bands of
Grape along the edges and a deep hem of
crap at the bottom.

are light and the shapes becoming.
