Roses and Chiffon PrevaiT-SOme Odd
Shapes For EveEyda Wear.
The new spring millinery shows US
that flowers are going to be the one
great style for trimming and even now
there are Whole hats made of parma
and blue violets. The green leaves are
coated with a covering OF chiffon or
crepe lisse, which gives them a frosted
appearance most charming to see.
From present expectation more flowers
will be used this season than before for
suit of having been so long obliged to
wear draperies of liberty, taffeta and
other and heavier materials, to say
nothing of the tulles and mulls which
have formed the largest part of all our
hats for so long. Now the frames are
made Of beautiful Italian straw and
chip, with horsehairs intermingled to
give the effect of lace. Over the surface
Of some gold spangles are scattered.
Horsehair, or, / believe they call it, ne
apolitan, is rather a risky thing to
wear out in a shower, for the hair curls
and straightens in the most grotesQue
manner, but so long as it is kept dry it
is beautiful.
Some of the black horsehair braids
are woven in one inch widths and look
like loose wOrsted braid save that they
have sort Of scalloped edge done in
gold cord When this is seWed round
and round to make the hat, the effect
becomes one Of black and gold and is
exceptionally rich.
The shapes are innumerable. Among
them we find rough riders, straw
Ladysmiths, sailors, both short and
long backed, and all the shepherdess
forms, alpines, berets, toques, turbans
and Aiglons. Very many hats for spring
are made of white or black chiffon or
both and the whole almost covered with
roses or any other flower preferred.
One hat of indefinite shape is twisted
Of brim and tortured of crown SO that
dozens Of little dents are made, in
which are stuck hundreds Of violets al
most hidden in their foliage. These
are mingled with black tulle, which
seems to show them off better than any
other fabric
Thousands Of straw hats are made to
be trimmed with sashes of surah, liber-
ty and no end of Roman stripes, to say
nothing of polka dotted and Persian
lowered silks. One shape is called the
cyclone and is somewhat like an Eng
lish walking hat, 1t is made Of the
cOarSest straw and has but scarf of
dotted surah around it, with a row of
the braid along the center. The Anna
D. is made fat front brim, and the
back part is turned up high. The crown
is round, and there is a crush scarf of
dotted blue and white surah, with
fancy buckle in front. The RialtO has
a square, fat crown and a round brim
and drapery of Persian, with small
bow and large fancy buckle at the side
This is a hat for which | predict much
success. The crown is quite high. The
straw is very rough and coarse. The
Baden-Powell is shaped much like the
Ladysmith of last season and is trim
med with Roman scarf in many col
ors on the bias. These are what are
called ready to wear hats and are for
every day, but they will all be we'll
liked, as they are jaunty and becoming
while so easy to keep in order.
One of the handsomest hat effects is
that where the brim is of yellow straw,
with black chenille run In, and the
crown of black neapolitan in a Tam
shape, and all around the brim is row
of pink roses and at the left side such
