RE Rose Foliage is the Most Popular
Trimming For Spring Hats.
The rose is the queen OF flowers in
the mlliiner's as well as in the florists
shops this year. There are big roses
and little roses Of intermediate sizes.
The small roses are massed closely to-
gether, and form wreaths on the edges
of hats, or they arc in tight punches,
showing only glimpse Of color The
pink rose seems TO predominatc, but
there are many white roses
The violet is also in use, and in some
hats is combined with the rose, the one
forming a solid crown and the other a
solid rim
The rose foliage is the most popular
trimming, and is always attractive.
One hat which has n combination OF
oldtime favorites is a dead white
braid, and is trimmed with black vel
vet and quantities of tiny pink roses.
Quills are to be seen on all kinds Of
hats. A handsome varsity of Quill is
large, ana has curlod ostrich feather
'dges.
There are many broad, low, fat hats
to which the milliner gives a twist TO
suit the individual wearer, and there
are many hats that tip down in front
with broad, high, winglke pieces. at
the sides. Other hats are turned UP
decidedly at the side.
Many fancy braids are 10 be seen in
hats There are French chips to be
found Neapolitans, Tuscans and horse
hair lace braids. A charming child's
hat which is an imported model is
big indented fat Of undressed leghorn.
The leghorn in this condition has
rough ends OF the straw standing all
over 1t, and gives it something the APP
pearance of a thatched roof. The trim
ming on this hat is a very beautiful
spray Of pink roses put on at the front
of the hat ana trailing over the back.
All kinds of pretty, soft tissues will
continue to appear in the trimmings
for hats Tulle is a practical article
for millinery purposes. Metal threads
apear in many OF the thin gauzes, and
some have lowered designs upon them.
Vatican flowers upon chiffon are ex-
ceedingly attractive,
Buckles are worn on the spring hats,
and they are to be found in gold and
in steel and brilliants, but not in such
numbers as were seen during the WIN
ter months.
A beautiful trimming is a broad
straw braid. which has silken effect
somewhat like that of ribbon. 1t is
most attractive in bows on hats.

A pretty little bonnet has a crown of
violets, double flowers Of a delicate
tint. The face Of the bonnet is draped
with cream lace, and in the centre is a
cluster Of the flowers with little TO-
liagc and few loops of velvet ribbon,
the shade of the flowers.
Bonuets are to be seen with and
without strings. Some have black
velvet an inch wide for strings. some
two pieces of velvet and others have
two-inch wide satin ribbon.
The draped trimming on hats brings
silk and satin tanetas into popular
use, and ribbons are consequently but
little seen. Some pretty ones in occa-
sional use have a chameleon effect. The
changeable and opalescent effects are
noticeable in many things this year.
It is said that wings, as well as
quills, will be worn this year, and also
ostrich feathers, but as yet not many
of them are seen. Here and there a
dove is to be found, with the feet
curled up on top Of hat. In one hat
the dove is surrounded with black and
white in thin materials. In another
the dove Is dyed pale and melancholy
blue. Audubon Society precepts aside,
it always seems questionable taste to
use anything for trimming which sug
gests a dead creature.-New York Trl-
