LATEST IN MILLINERY.

New millinery lTduhly Is IN the
trial stage. A round of the shops with
an eye especially to dress hats has
revealed certain positive conclusions
But the fashions generally are not
yet set. ''Ah! If we only knew what
the ladies will buy!" sighed to me
lately the clever conductor of a ia

do is to show the models and await
the comments of the feminine public.

THAT pokes in one style or another
will be chosen by those who want to
be known as fashion leaders. Women
must have one or another variety in
picture hats for carriage and special
use, and believe that they will go in
for the poke, or 'cabriolet,' because it
is new and distinguished. The Gains
borough can be worn at any time.
I'VE best get at the feeling in dress
mats at this season by noting what
prospective bridesmaids select. For
fashionable noon weddings we are
making up many cabriolets, especially
in pink. Pink miroir velvet with
three large pink ostrich tips, set high,
| is favorite bridesmaids model.
| Strings? No, not usually. The French
woman likes strings to her poke bon
net, but the American does not take
to them so readily. When ties are
used here they are of the color of the
bonent itself, and made from tulle. A
pretty effect for bridesmaid is that
which comes from leaving tulle strings
hanging behind, quite united and alb
solutely unmussed. The strings sug-
gest the brides veil, you see. However.
young women generally prefer the
bridesmaid hats or bonnets without
ends
Cabriolets are on display in black
and in dark tones. Nearly always
| they are trimmed with one or three
long, black beautiful ostrich plumes,
perched high over the face, or set low,
and spreading. The chosen mode de-
ponds upon the height of the wearer.
When ostrich feathers are not used

derfully intricate and effective bows.

finishes against the hair with a bow
of black velvet and jeweled buckle.
The sole trimmings outside the hat
are two perfect ostrich feathers.
Finely tucked silk is the material
which may be counted upon, pretty
fairly. to make the body of the hats
of younger beauties, whatever shapes
they choose
| Tucked velvet also is seen, but it is
a trifie heavy and not, perhaps, in the
best taste, rather as if one should at
tempt to gid the lily. Tucked null
and tulle are applied in every beauti-
full and curious way of which a milli-
ner can think. The most becoming
style 1T may be, is the ''brnst" effect,
tulle tucked over body of thin, white
net, to initiate the breast of a bird
Indications are that bows of velvet
largely will take the place of flowers
as finishes under hatbrims And the
knots will reflect one or another of
the shades of the upper part of the
hat, rather than to introduce a new
and sartling contrast into the general
scheme, though, by the express state
ment of a milliner who knows, this
is peculiarly a season in which che
may wear what she likes, provided the
milliner has thought to import it.
Paradise plumes are shown in
quantities which lead one to suppose
that demand for them is anticipated.
The colors are shades of yellow, white
and black. An example which many
will like for its fraceful lines, though
many disapprove the use of the para
disc plumes, is made from fine white

may be selected in preference to the
poke.
Alsace bows in velvet, silk, even
felt, rim new turbans, which are out
spread beyond the width hitherto con-
sidered possible in turbans, At the
moment, dahlia and petunia shades
have first place in these broad tur-
bans. The chic of such hats is in the
preservation throughout each hat of
