attention of milliners at present.
They are neither winter naJs nos
spring mats, but are little Bit o. BON.
They are in the latest and most correct
of the winter shapes-the nat toque--
and at the same time give hint or
what may be expected to be popular
when the warm days come.
Claid de lune, net spangled with
peculiar blush sequln, is the favorIte
material used in these hats. AS It's
name indicates, the peculiar blue tint
is supposed to bear some resemblance
to the moonlight. Its popularity is
probably due more TO its harmonlzing
well with the blue that has been so
popular thls winter than to any poet
ical association with the name.
When the spangled net is used os-
trich feathers may be combined with II
to form the side trimming OF the nat,
or the finishing touch may be cluster
of aigrettes tipped with the same blue
seQuins. Black and white accordion
plated tulle, plated to give the effect
of a soft gray stuff, is another popular
material for these demi-saison hats.
With the tulle bit OF color is used
a brilliant touch OF red under the
brim, or some pale blue taffeta mlXeu
with the knots OF tulle that form the
trimming.
1.-TWO other things are going to char
acteriZe the millinery that will be wol n
during the spring., said a local mll IL
er. Its going TO be straw season.
The materials are to be new, but tney
will be really revivals of old materials.
of fabrics that were worn years ago,
Tuscans and dull-fashioned Leghorns,
combined with old-fashioned hailclotn,
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 tf the new
hats are trimmed almost en- Tely with
these straw and haircloth INNINGS,
finished off with a cluster or flowers OF
a 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 it, will also be popu-
lar. Next to the roses in popularity
and in beauty are the poppies-not The
ordinary red poppy, but peoples in ev-
cry conceivable shade
'Ihe shapes shown in the cities so
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 fiat 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-
coctions 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
face. Then as to colors: Straw, beige,
biscuit, white and cream are going to
be worn extensively. Light blue Will
probably be worn a great deal, just as
it 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 Tor
generally considered unlucky things to
have around, but since the decree has
gone forth that they are the correct
thing to wear on a hat the people who
have had superstitious 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 great bunch OF June
roses under the brim. Another was a
flat of rough but very soft straw a
genuine fat, without distinction Oh
brim or crown, kept on the head by
means of a velvet bandeau. Bunches
of pink roses and loops of black velvet
formed the trimming. The golf mats
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 highest cream-colored 1el'
is used for some of these hats, brilliant
scarlet for others, light blue or ngh'
mink straw forming the facing oil 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-coi-
ored silk being considered the eorrec'
thing.
Another milliner frankly declared
that there will be two things about th'
spring hat to inspire respect-hrst' th'
amount of material and needlewori
that can be put on hat; second. tn
