the materials are to be new, but they
viii he really reviyals of old Materials
OF fabrics that were worn years ago
Tuscans and dull-tashiOned Leghorns,
combined with old-fashiOned halrcloth,
are the most popular materials.
Straw will be used in every possible
combination There will be quilts OF
straw. fancy wings OF straw and even
straw fringes. A number vi the new
mats are trimmed almost en- Tely with
these straw and haircloth Trimmings,
finished of with cluster OF flowers or
q Knot of velvet The flowers, by the
way, are even more beautiful. Roses
are evidently going to be very popular,
and especially in close clusters OF
small blossoms. The Old-fashioned
forget-me-not wreath, with rosebuds
scattered through 1t, will also be popu-
Lar. Next to the roses i'll popularity
and in beauty are the poppies-not The
ordinary red poppy, but peoples in eV-
cry conceivable shade.

far are very much like those worn this
winter-newer shapes will come out
later probably. In some tOques the
tendency seems to be toward flat eff
feet, and the trimmings are mounted
low to intensity this effect. Pokes are
going to be worn-not the prim saliva
ton army kind, but little French con-
c0ctions full OF twists and turns. Then
besides these a kind Of toque will be
used that is cooked high up on the
side and is worn way down on the
race. Then as to cOIOTs: Straw, beige
biscuit, White and cream are going TIC
be worn extensively. Light blue will
probably be worn a great deal, just as
1t has been this winter, but everything
points TO the use OF pink-pink roses,
pink peoples, soft pink ribbons and
anything else that is pink"
Just at present the wholesale mil
liners cannot supply the demand for
~~uh LeaLuers. Peacock feathers are
generally considered unlucky things to
have around, but since the decree has
gone forth that they are the correct
thing to wear on hat the people who
have had superstiti0us scruples against
owning them have dispensed with their
scruples. Among the pattern hats de-
scribed was a dark green toQue
trimmed with these same "unlUcky"
feathers.
Among the other hats described was
one Of black straw and tulle cooked up
on the side with a great bunch of June
roses under the brim. Another was a
fat CT rough but very soft straw a
genuine fat, without distinction OF
brim or crown, kept on the head by
means of a velvet bandeau. Bunches
Of pink roses and loops of black veIveJ
formed the trimming. The golf hats
are a combination Of felt and straw,
the felt being used to form the brim
and crown and the straw to face the
brim. The Eghtest cream-colored felt
is used for some of these hats, brilliant
scarlet for others, light blue or light
pink straw forming the facing of the
cream-colOred ones The trimming is
much more elaborate than formerly,
wings combined with scarfs of hand
some lace or with knots of pastel-col-
ored silk being considered the correct
thing.
