One of the most noticeable things about
the spring millinery is the soft, har-
monious quality of the colors employed
The softened shades, however do not in
dictate any loss of distinctive character.
Each hat has a dominant note Of color or
form and all else is arranged in harmony
and in subordination to that. This was
the observation thrust upon the women
who examined the many beautiful crea-~
lions to-day at the Minneapolis Dry Goods
company's. There was much variety in the
hats and each distinct type was consist
tent throughout.
Many of the best effects are obtained
by simple means, but treated without Sc
verify. Strictly tailored effects are
scarcely to be found in anything, even
the plainest shirt waist hats having
coquettishness of shape or soft scarf
them feminine touch. The artistic lines,
soft colors and wide variety will enable
the intelligent shopper to find hat that
combines becomingness, smartness ana
the expression Of her own individuality.
Among the particularly good things for
the early season seen in the models at
the Minneapolis Dry Goods company are
black and white combinations, either
straw in the two colors being sewed to-
gether for the foundation, or straw and
narrow edgings of lace or folds Of chiffon.
In every portion of the trimming the black
and white Is similarly combined A diff
ferent combination is shown in the box
turbans with their high straight brlms;
one of these has white crown that is
completely concealed from the sides, the
brim, draped with black chiffon. is. set
with leaf-shaped medallions OF white
lace. Some Of these English turbans.
which afford the severest tailored effects
shown, are cut down in the back and over
this drops the long loops of a wide, flat
bow of MORE, the short loops of which
spread out on the crown, the bow being
held in place by cabochons of pearl or jet.
These fat bows also adorn good many
of the more elaborate hats. In the treat
ment of ribbons these bows and the coach
mans rosettes, made of rather narrow
black velvet ribbon and spread out Hat
| on the crowns, and the big loose rosettes
| of many tied-up loops and ends. filing
the back or covering the wide turned
up side of hat are the most noticeable
things. '>' ~ - - +
Nearly sall of the hats, with the excep-
| ton of the dropping, foppy shepherdess
shapes, roll away from the face, and this
mode has brought in elaborate trimming
| of the brims. A white hat that Is almost
! an exact duplicate of one being worn by
Lulu CHASER in Dolly Warden is typical
( of this in the dress hats. The rolling
| brim is rather wide and Is covered by
| overlapping ruffies of narrow white rib
| bon on the edge, set on fiat but not stlmy,
are several rows of white roses, while
| punches of pink rosebuds lie against the
hair The top is trimmed only with a
single big, soft rosette of figured ribbon,
| and the hat is tied under the chin with
a big white chiffon bow. b. <,-.......-s. :
! Pompadour ribbons are a corollary OF
the wreaths of small flowers and the

flower arrangements. These in narrow
widths, with edgings Of the color Of the
flowers printed on them, are used much
to give dainty touch to the shirt waist
hats They bind the brims or the great
knots of braid, used for trimmings OF
are set as bands in the brims. In chit,
ions, these same patterns OF small now
ers sprinkled all over are wonderfully
pretty. --a--: W..
One of the white shirtwaist hats OF
Yeda braid with ribbon edgings has 6
brim faced with chiffon and against II
knots of pink rosebuds. In the big kno
of braid are thrust white quilts: The
simple shape of the shirtwaist hats Is {
round wide brimmed, ow-croWned affair
There is nearly always some trimming
| under the brim, either flowers or fla
wing fastened with a cabochon.
The dress hats are made in beautiful
materials, exquisite braids, lace, chiffon:
or masses of flowers. The fruit ant
foliage hats are particularly good for i'm
mediate wear and one of the beautiful
things already in the possession of it,
owner is made entirely Of cherries ant
their foliage. A little later the rose
the rosebud and the cherry blossom hak
will lend gayety to many toilets. A littl
less lavish use Of flowers is to have TIL
brim edged with a fiat wreath and har
monizing knots under the brim and on thu
I crown.

er-Wreathed with loose arrangements G
small flowers mingled with twists, loop
and ends of soft ribbon. Most Of thes
J hats are the wide brimmed, droopin
shapes in soft, mixed straws. =.
