E1Owcrs-Smnrt MOdfstic Points.
The new millinery is certainly a joy.
1t is amazing what effective results are
achieved with killings of spotted tulle
and rosettes made of straw, and again
some most attractive hats are entirely
made of straw with straw cockades,
and then blossoms Of every sort and
kind are permitted the privilege of dec
Grating new hats, such flowers being
for the most part very small. Blue
hyacinths, In combination with pale
green tulle and wreaths of green leaves,
are delightful, and lunches of pink or
red azaleas look beautiful on black or
pink hats.
Very popular are hats of tuscan col
ored rush straw lined with pale blue
and trimmed with scarf of black and
perhaps a bunch of pink roses, very
small roses be 1t understood. The flow
er toques reappear in another form, be-
ing made of larger shape than for
merry, bending down somewhat in the
front and sweeping upward at the
back
Simple hats are made of straw and
trimmed with a scarf of soft silk with
fringed ends, and the black hat is Of
course as popular as ever, made either
in rolls of erin and trimmed with flow
ers or in folds of tulle and trimmed
with black ostrich feathers.
A pretty way of trimming black
hat is to bind the under brim with rolls
of white chiffon, laying over this jet

be found encirced with scarf of soft
black satin, the ends arranged to fall
over the hair.
If there be one shape more especially
in favor than another 1t is that which
turns down on the forehead and makes
o curve up at the back. the back being
| filled In with velvet bows or lunches
of flowers.
The silk confection of the cut shows
some of the elaboration of the up to
! date dress. This rose pink taffeta
gown is enriched with inlay of lace
delineating an irregular apron panel.
/ Triple fiat shaped bands of lace over
white satin, the novelty of the hour,
encircle the skirt. which is striped
with self toned satin ribbon alter.
nately disappearing under the head Of
the top band or extending as loops
over each of these three bands. Small

tened with tiny steel buckles, and unite
the two fronts of the tight fitting jack
ct. Others cross the revers. epaulets
and collar diagonally in white satin
or MORE and are likewise finished off
into loops and ends with buckles. Sew
eral rows run along the outside of the
sleeves, forming a godet toward the
wrist Lace cuffs match the grad
uated transparent border round the
jacket. The finely plated chemsette
is in white muslin. with n large bow
in chiffon. Tufts of variegated roses
and wired loops of black velvet with
flying ends trim the hat of tuscan
straw.
In the making of coming walking
gowns fashion will tale unfold, for
the newest of coats show tail at the
back, and perhaps this is a very desir-
able state of affairs in view of the fact
that we continue to patronize the tight
lifting skirt, which is in truth, not en-
tirely becoming to every woman who
elects to wear it.
That small tail at the back of the
coat Immediately takes off the look of
undue tighiness. In the front the coats
are for the most part cut round and
bear revers or narrow galloon. Many
coats are however, cut three-quarter
length. either with Il belt or to fit tight
ly to the waist at the back and to be
