POPULAR EASTER SHAPES.
An Easter hat which will be among
the popular shapes is the Minerva, with
point pulled low in front and back; the
sides, instead of being turned UP, are
turned down. This is really a helmet
shape and is called by that name il
many of the shops. You may find this
same hat known under the name of the
tropical hat" because it is the shape
chosen by the ladies who go to Cairo
IN the winter, there to pass a warm
season when it is cold at home. Called
by whatever name, the Minerva, the
Helmet or the Tropical hat the shape
is becoming to all faces.
One of these hats ordered by Mrs
/ Stuyvesant Fish, that society woman
| about whom there is so much to be
read in the New York society columns
just now, was a straw helmet composed
/ OF folds of chiffon cunningly laid be-
tween folds of chiffon The top was
! piled with sun-plaited blue chiffon in
loaf shape so arranged that the loaves
rose one above the other until the hat
was very tall.
1t is a custom not so very new. vet

they can be worn all the year around.

The Easter bonnet proper will be a
eabriolet set well back upon the head
and trimmed inside and outside with
pink and yellow roses. 1t will be

If one We're asked to select four
Easter hats for a bride one could not
DO better than choose The four recently
described by a New York milliner who
was making them for a very wealthy
bride Of Easter
One is a rough straw toque in tan
color trimmed with blush roses; these
roses are in new pink called crushed
rose pink. They are small and are
capable Of very clever treatment when
used in wreaths or massed upon
crown.
Another is a toque of pastel gray
chiffon trimmed with bands of rough
gray straw. At the side is a very large
bow Of gray-blue Liberty satin caught
with a big steel buckle.
The third hat With which this happy
bride is to be blessed is a helmet shape
in silk, also trimmed with bands OF
straw and with many puffs of almond
green chiffon.
The fourth in the series of hats is a
bonnet with strings of chiffon and black
velvet. The bonnet, which is a large
faring straw, is prOfusely trimmed
with white roses with hearts of pink.
A heart-shaped buckle of silver is set
at the top of the hat and through the
buckle is drawn a double loop of pink
velvet above which stand many fiaring
jets.
QUIET HOUSE GOWNS.
The season for ball dresses comes to
an end at the first toll Of the Lenten
bell. After that come the house dresses
and the very modest dinner gowns, for
there are no big functions during Lent.
A pretty gown which can be worn in
any season was chosen by Mrs. George
Gould the other afternoon at the first
of a sewing circle over which
she is to preside during Lent The dress
was a princess in black and steel
striped Liberty satin. The yoke was of
white satin appliqued with steel Sc
quinS, and over the shoulders were
bands of black velvet ribbon. This dress
could be fashioned in cloth with a yoke
of dark satin which would be very SER |
viceable, or it could be worn over diff |
ferent yokes.
Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, who dresses
a great deal in purple, wore at the Ia |
test New York fad, a Persian Gar /!
den" gown of purple taffeta striped |
with black satin. It was made with |
double breasted bolero jacket worn over |
a vest of white taffeta embroidered |
with silver. The skirt was a tunic of |
the purple striped satin over an I'M
derskirt of plain purple taffeta.
Another gown remarkable for its
beauty was worn by Mrs. ogden Mills,
who leads the most exclusive set in
New York. 1t was Of palest almond |
green satin embroidered with gold
threads arranged IN such a close and
wavy design that it suggested an Or
entail fabric. A fischu of real point
ace was brought around the neck and
led under the chin in a large bow,
through the knot of which was fas-
ened a diamond buckle.
