The great predominancs of mohair
weaves in millinery becomes every
more apparent and where entire hats |
are not so fashioned, mohair intermlx-
lures are frequent. Panama straw is
likewise very fashionable and is often
so pliable as to be folded over or made
into loose crowns. Some crowns, al
though quite low, are immense in cir
cumference, especially as to the upper
part, the lower part being compare
lively narrow, and sinking into very
wide brim. Hats generally, indeed,
are low and broad, even where shapes
are irregular in outline and this per-
haps is the reason for a frequent dis
play of leaf covered hats or those COM
posed wholly of flowers set closely.
For such purposes, violets and very
small roses are in particular favor.
Despite the prominence of
Single Large Flowers
entire garlands of small ones are new
feature and as a novelty promise to be-
come popular and where not set in gar
lands, show forth in sprays that are
closely attached, as vine would clam
ber on a wall Hats made in mousse
line or tulle are very frequent being of
course a repetition of last seasons
styles.
Black velvet is again extremely fash
ionable, oftenest appearing as a ribbon
and this comes from two inches wide
to the baby length that is familiar to
everyone. Such peculiar effects are
obtained by straw in mixtures of col

bon in trimming. An example shows
seven rows in blue, yellow, red or
green and it forms the only trimming
on a hat of black rough straw. Lord
& Taylor also show beautiful lines in

beginning at 35 cts. the yard for
widths of nineteen inches and going
up to wider varieties at somewhat
higher prices, though all are very mod
crate. Cords running lengthwise at
frequent intervals are marked feature
and harmonize with the present rage
for stripes. Foulards, in high lustre
finish and all-over patterns, usually in
different shades of one color, are freely
shown and rival lightweight silks that
are also favorable in all-over patterns.
The same can be said of challies, which
are really a necessity for summer, but
there is great competition for mohair
canvass and grenadines that come in
solid shades, so as adequately to show
off laces and passementaries that are
an important factor in dress trimmings
