 MISS FRENCH'S HAT.
 The town is aroused over a report, cir | culated by afleading milliner, that she had secured the order for all the hats to be worn by Miss Elsie French during her | honeymoon as Mrs. Alfred c. Vanderbilt. The wedding the milliner declares, will take place at Newport in August, and her orders are to be filled by the 1st of June. The order includes five garden hats, which are to be built to match costumes, the cou- | turieres supplying pieces of the dress goods to be woven in the millinery In these hats there is noticed a tendency to cling to the rough and fancy straws, and to use straw wherever possible, instead of trimming. One of the most ornamental toques, for instance, a veritable picture toque," is entirely of fancy straws inter- woven with strands of many kinds, lace straw and straws flat, round and triangular These are so artistically combined that one would not detect the absence of ribbon and feathers, yet the only trimming was chou-rosette of tulle and ribbon upon one side.
 Just at the moment the toque reigns su-
 
 upon one side, and set we'll back from the face Its shape is not arbitrary, and many are the designs seen, the most popular of which is very large around, and with a piece which fits the head snugly.
 Lace is so extensively used that the de- mand has far exceeded the supply This has caused a raise in prices; and the coarser varieties of Russian and Brussels lace are being used instead of the expensive trench, Spanish and Italian faces. All the newest colors are yelled by lace.
 Lace handkerchiefs are used for revers upon coats. The neat little bolerts have revers that are made by cutting handker- chief in half, diagonally from corner to corner. This makes a pointed rever which is first stiffened with narrow wire, and then stitched upon the jacket.
 The most elaborate reception and street dresses of the spring are made in that new green called by the French chaparrel. It is quite deep sea green, and looks best com bined with deep yellow. dress of this green, built of satin faced cloth had wrnkled sleeves, terminating on the knuck- les With the thinnest cord of gold. The same little cord finished the neck and traced the boundary of the yoke. It was seen again in the velvet folds of the hat and was traced in the flounces with which the skirt was trimmed.
 An automobile coat of green to match thls calling costume was cut very short in the back and long in the front gradually tapering upwards in the back, unl.. a great scallop was described, reaching to within eighteen inches of the belt, in the very middle of the back Through this opening the skirt was allowed to fall prettiy; and the semi-train was thus spared the mortii- cation Of long coat, which chokes and utterly runs a trained skirt.
 The edges of the tunics and of the auto mobiles are scalloped and cut in all kinds of fancy figures; and on these irregular edges are appliqued roses and other flowers with their leaves in the natural colors
