A charming hat in rush straw has
band and bow of black velvet, lined
with gauzy crinoline straw in pink.
A bandeau of black velvet in front,
with geraniums massed together,
with long stalks gathered in clusters
and looped up over the brim.
One of the pretty little evening
toques is of turquoise blue chiffon,
all tucked and draped at one side into
foamy rosette from which long
osprey sweeps gracefully over the
crown.
Another pretty toque is of white
silk, tucked and corded on high
crown; the brim softened with
drapery of tucked tulle, with. foamy
rosette and butterfly bow in front,
and cluster of blush pink roses.
A pretty toque is of pale mauve
straw, with transparent brim of
drawn and wired tulle, edged with a
plating of entwined bands of straw
and stitched mauve silk.
A small toque is of shirred white,
chiffon, with garlands of corn flowers
around the brim, and with swathed
crown in aerophane to tone.
At the present time Paris is red

For the past two years all these tints

facturer to change his methods. and
instead of giving to the world his
really new and valuable novelties. he
palms off upon those who have pre-
viously swindled him his unsala BILE
ideas, and to-day the early French
season is always well filed with the
things that will not be fashionable.
To those who are posted, and who
have some little pull" it is not a
difficult task to get an idea of the
right thing, and so 1T is that while
Paris shops are displaying one class
of goods the fashion writer's are tell
ing of another class that will come
later, and for which everybody ex-
cepting the transient visitors to the
city are patiently waiting.
Hats, quite as much as dress goods,
come within this class of wrong
ideas, and the hats that are being
sold and worn in Paris to-day are
much different from the hats that
were displayed as the mid-season's
novelties two months ago.
The leading hat of the midseason
goes we'll with the empire gown, for
it is revival of style of our ances-
tors-the leghorn hat. They are, how
ever, different from the ones our an
cestors knew, for then they did not
have the long drapery effect, and were
not tilted as to-day. Of these hats
the most distinguishable feature are
the new pastel shades of roses, in old
blue, and dark blush green tints. Then
there are pinks, nasturtiums, blue
bells, wheat, bluettes and pansies,
with many odd blossoms that have
not been in vogue for years. On the
same hats foliage is extensively used
in natural effects, such as ivy, be-
gonia. grasses, violets and rose leaves.
Very few clumsy or weighty goods are
used on them for trimming, as, the
hats themselves are so large, and be-
ing well shaped do not require it.
OF the smaller hats there: are the
evening toques and evening bonnets,
made of braid with combinations of
tulle, swiss, chiffon, Brussels net and
soft light silks.
Of the large leghorn hat one of
the very prettiest has a drapery Of
tearose yellow chiffon painted by
hand, with curious wave-like de-
sign in black and white, the lovely
fabric being caught down in front
by a huge black velvet poppy, while
just suspicion, of an upward tilt is
given to the soft. brim at the left side,
with black velvet bow and yellow
chiffon to finish.
Another of these leghorn. hats is
trimmed in sweet simplicity with
blush pink, roses, and masses of ten
der green leaves, with here and there
q .half-opened bud, nestled under the
brim at the left side, and then again
surmount the drapery of pink velvet
and yelling of tulle which is around
the crown and tied in. g. loose bow at
the left side.
Another Of the charming midsea-,
son hats is a broad-strande1 straw
loosely plated to form the brim and
quite high crown. Around this is5a
wreath of closely clustered green
leaves with little buds peeping out
here and there, giving just . hint of
tender pink which is revealed in q
