New York, March 21-The Easter
dress parade will be more gorgeou.
than ever, for the materials that are
now being busily fashioned by the def
fingers Of the finest modistes in tho
world are more brilliantly beautiful
than they have been for many previous
seasons.
And what will she wear when on
Easter parade, the woman of fashion,
From her head to her heels she will be
dressed IN the new modes; and of what
will they consist?
Her hat, if she be mindful Of the
changing styles, viii be large around
and very tall. This applies to all hats,
from the velvet t0ques to the large
round hats which are in vogue again.
il II be a tOque, she will wear it much
pulled in the crown, so as to stand
above her head we'll; and topping the
toque VIII be Ospreys, bows Of velvet,
large rose trees, large trailing plumes
and smartly stiff ostrich quilts. The
snug, close little hat is well nigh gone
out The hats are tall, though not
peaked, but just built up by trimmings.
If her hat be a round one you will
notice that il is well built UP with
straW, that its brim is broad ana
thick, that its trimmings are massed,
and that it looks heavy, though it is
not necessarily SO.
HER HAT.
In the English walking hats you see
many changes the most decided being
the very deep dip in front and back,
and the very high roll at the sides, thus
lending a classic outline to any face
The veil sets very prettily over these
hats and you cannot do better than
employ the finest chiffon yelling with
small black dots not too close together.
They are wearing yelling to match the
hats; but, alas for the complexion
which can not bear a covering Of
green, the veil casts a deathly hue;
and a thousand times worse it is for
the one which grows purple under a
pink veil.
You viii see d great many roses Of
silk. The recipe for these is a bias
band Of taffeUa of rose pink, either pale
or dark rose. Double the silk, though
do not press il. Run shir string
through the raw edges and full it
only slightly. Now begin and roll your
silk until YOU have a big cabbage rose
1t makes a conventional trimming
which is very becomuing to a hat. The
velvet rose may be treated somewhat
differently. Mrs. Bradley Martin re-
Gently purchased a hat in London
which was covered with pink velvet
roses, made in conventional style.
A friend thus describes them in a
private letter: The roses were of the
quaintest design imaginable. One
would say that they were fashioned out
of a large circle Of velvet. a little shir-
ring made by running a thread from
the outer edge Of the circle to the CEN
ter formed the petals. There were only
four petals, or rose leaves, and these
set up in the smartest way you ever
saw The roses were small and laid
rather fat to the bonnet with the petals
rising from it
You see many of the large silk pom
pOns which were worn in the fall. !
These are made Of all materials, per
haps the most durable being of good
morine. This is a net which does not /
fail. The pompons are formed by roll |
ing the material round and round upon !
the fingers, drawing it tighter at one /
end than at the other Finally one
end Of the bunch is sewed fast to the !,
hat, making a very smart upright pom |
pom.
Hats are in all colors, the black one
having plenty of blush roses to help
them out Of their sombre dilemma. The |
all-black hat, for you viii always find |
those who prefer the black hats are
very large and are worn tilted, thus
giving them a festive air.
One must speak of the hair which is
so CONSPICUOUS with this seasons mil
linery. All hair is pretty if it is kept
well dressed ana shining; the fashion
is for a brilliant sheen which is beaUti-
ful in the sunlight To get this sheen
the hair must be kept free from dust
and must be brushed often. When
dressing it, draw it lightly, allowing
the hair TO fall in natural waves If ii

HER COAT.
The coat Of the Easter girl will differ
as widely as the girl herself offers
types Of prettiness to the behOlder. The
long coat is more fashionable than
ever, either long and straight or shaped
at the back The English tailors who
are responsible for the long coat de-
clare that the straight box was never
intended for the street, being meant
only for driving. The long Princess
and the new ulster are for walking.
The bOlero is in with renewed beauty
and is more popular than ever. 1t is so
becoming to all figures; it makes the
lean plump and has a tendency to
make the thick wasted person look
more slender. Coming as it does only
TO the waist line, it adds to the bust
without adding 70 the hips, a fact for
which it has earned the grateful re-
membrance Of stout persons.
The new boleros are, some Of them,
double-b breasted, buttoning with two
handsome buttons nearly under the
play the waist underneath. LapelS Of
contrasting color are worn and are
often adjustable, different sets being
worn with each bolero.
The Elton, which is so closely related
TO the handy little bolero, has far de-
parted from its English model. You [
see the so-called Elton cut high in the
back, almost in a curve, showing the {
belt and part Of the waist You see it
dipping in front below the waist line, 1
double breasted and sporting wonder
fully embroidered lapels. c
Shirt waists are made with bOleros
and white muslin shirt waists have I
dainty little embroidered bolero fronts. a
The new REFER viii be very short
anG open in front, with the edges not j
quite meeting. II win be well fitted /
10 the figure so as to hold its place y
well Tiny hooks are often used to
fasteu this REFER on the under side to b
The bodice so that il will keep its place t
well. p
There is another new REFER which o
might be more properly called an Elton.
It is cut off square in front, just below /
he waist line, and is just long enough
% cover the belt all the way around.
This must be worn by a slender figure n
II il may be a trife ugly.
HER SKIRT.
The Easter skirt viii probably be box
plated in the back. In spite Of the
Efforts that are being made to bring the
lu-arOund box plated skirt into fash "
on. it is doubtful If the design will see a.
much use aside from the wearing which b
