| Mannheimers' spacious millinery parlors
looked very gorgeous indeed yesterday,
for they displayed for this seasons wear
some of the most beautiful Easter hats
and bonnets that it has even been the
privilege of st. Paul shoppers to view.
The two long rooms-one for the chill
| dren's hats and for the morning hats of
the grownup folks, and the other for the
exquisite London, Paris and New York
creations-Were thronged with people yes
terday, all anxious to know just what
style Of hat capricious Dame Fashion
has decided upon for her favorite. The
autocratic lady has been wonderfully
generous this season. She has not Sc
lected the tall girl for her especial pro-
tege, as she did last fall, but in her
choice Of spring millinery has graciously
considered the needs of the short maiden.
Manufacturers hats have always been
noted for a certain very smart quality,
and the hats displayed by them this sea-
son are certainly no exception to this
rule. Perched on top of the long stand
ards like gay tropical birds or nestlings
in pretty cases each hat was displayed
to its best advantage, and all called forth
little exclamations of "Ohs'' and Abs
from the feminine visitors.
The dress hats this year are all large:
the ready for wear hats, or the morning
hats as they are now called, are most
OF them small and close fitting. Linen
lace and Irish crochet are seen on a
number Of the imported hats. One hat
received from Linn Faulkner, Of Paris,
is made entirely of linen lace embroid-
cred with jet stars. The hat is round in
shape the brim dropping a trife at the
sides and in front. A band of pale blue
velvet provides a fall of loops and ends
at the back and wreaths of forget-me-
nots furnish further decoration. A small
wreath OF the foregt-me-nots rests on
the hair and tiny moss rosebuds are al
most smothered in the lace of the
crown.
Many of the hats are made entirely
OF roses. One that is pretty and dainty
enough to suggest June bride is made
entirely Of pink roses with only a bit of
satin ribbon for decoration Another hat
made entirely of white roses has a pale
plue satin ribbon run through It's three
cornered crown. If one purchases an all
white hat for best wear this SINNER she
will have the satisfactionu of knowing
that her head covering is exceedingly
fashionable, for white hats are very cor
rect things in the millinery line A white
hat that attracted unusual attention yes-
terday at Manufacturers had a puffy
crown made Of moline thickly studded
with pearls. The brim rolls in front and
a trif1e at the sides, but droops consid-
erably at the back. This brim is draped
with point lace applique decorated at the
back, where 1t falls upon the hair with
large pearls strung on moline. Two pearl
cabochons hold the drapery in place
Occasionally a cluster of frozen roses
is seen on some of the hats, but the
fresh flowers apparently have a greater
vogue. Gardenias and Gardenia foliage
are combined most effectively with Tus-
can braid. This braid promises to be
very popular this season, being used for
the foundation of number Of very smart
hats displayed at Manufacturers yestar-
day.
Of the the morning hats there was a
wide variety displayed. Lovers Of the
once favored sailor hat will be glad to
learn that the shape promises to be fash
ionable this summer. Scarfs of chiffon
decorate these sailors, some of the scarfs
being long enough to pin on the shoulder.
In children's hats-a wide selection of
which is to be found at Manufacturers
the picturesque effects prevail Big hats
with dropping brims will aid this sum
mer in making more fower-like the fair
little faces beneath. Bunches of flowers
wreaths of flowers and flowers of all
varieties and all colors help to trim these
hats.
