Pearls Are the Vogue,
and They Make an
Extremely Pretty
and EiffechDe Trim
ming for the Flat
Groovned Shapes.

ones first impulse was TO pull off the
brownish outer leaves to see the delicate
and pink tinted heart of the rose
OF course. we are always prepared for
odd little fashion whims. but this seemed
such a curious one. yet the more looked
at the hat the prettier it seemed SO that
could scarcely tear myself away from the
shop without ordering one Just hke it.
Another feature OF the newest hats is
the use of pearls-strings, bands and
fancy ornaments made of them
There seems to be no limit to the
luxurious display of jewels. There arc
crowns, tiaras, necklaces, collarettes. la
Vallieres, earrings, stomachers. hair nets.
and now, along with the revival of the
bracelets. comes this fancy for pearl
trimmed hats. Truly the fashionable
woman is very much beieweled!
Pearls are the vogue, and you will
agree with me that they make en- effect
i've. as well as an extremely pretty. trim
ming, when tell you about the last hat
madame showed me. 1t was of the ordi-
nary flat-crowned shape, with a broad
brim. slashed twice toward the front.
Soft folds of chiffon cut on the cross
covered both sides of the brim, while
the crown. which broadened at the top,
presented basket effect, made from
weaving strings of pearls with the chif-
fon folds. The entire edge of the under
side Of the brim for nearly two inches
in depth was finished with rows and
rows of pearl beads put close together
Only the outer row showed from the top
Of the hat. On the slashed side the hat
turned up and WAS fastened with largo
round pearl ornament and bunch Of the
small weather-stained pink roses. Deep
white lace was draped over the brim ON
top. and nesting close to the crown
were more OF these fashionable flowers.
Picture Hats, OF Course.
Picture hats are always good style. and
the black one shown in the photograph ia
of panne faced with black mousselins
over white. Long black lustrous ostrich
plumes furnish the only trimming.
The white one, somewhat smaller, Is
made of folds of embroidered chiffon. and
over the side that turns up is draped one
long pure white feather. Having the
roses placed directly in front is rather
an odd conceit. but the result is very
pretty hat. as the picture shows. Made
entirely OF pale pink chiffon put on in
folds. there is lace drapery over the
crown with three large pink crushed
roses fastened to the edge OF the brim in
front, while at the back long black vel
vet ribbons fall far down on the skirt.
The other mousselne hat Is something
after this style. but is carried out in pale
blue and white without the velvet stream
ers. Typical. indeed. is the style OF the
toque, for it is just what the fashionable
New York woman has been wearing these
last few months, and will continue to
appear in for some time. The white fuzzy
fabric from which the hat is made Is laid
on with a loose effect, and over it IL q
trailing vine of black velvet leaves in ap-
piique. The back is finished with a broad
white satin bow.

Tot from idle curiosity but be-
cause I really wanted TO know

terday at some of cur best millinery shops
along Fifth Avenue Ito see what I could
see.'
Save for the Intermittent appearance Of
the wholesale millinery agent the recep-
ton rooms were strangely deserted, but
that is accounted for by the usual be-
tween seasons apathy as regards matters
of dress. However. because there were
no customers, except now and then a
stray one, it did not mean that Madame s
force of workers were doing nothing.
Quite the contrary. In that little space
curtained off with heavy draperies there
were artistic trimmers, deft milliners
and anxious apprentices constructing all
kinds OF early spring and airy summer
hats.
While it is altogether too soon for the
fashionable woman to bother her head
about Easter creations, she will soon be
wanting something for early spring wear.
titles of hats for just such use, besides
anticipating the summer season, at the
same time constructing all manner Of
patterns to show TO the out-of-town buy

Just now the shops are really filled up
with these patterns for the trade and

Many of these represent original ideas
of the milliners, conceived and executed
under their supervision, and launched on
the out-of-town buyers with some tre-
pidation Displaying them before such
unsuspecting visitors is exactly the same
principle as the theatrical one of trying
new play "on the dog"
Though l wasn't particularly interested
in what the Westerners were TO select,
did find much to rave over in the newest
street hats for the smart New YORK
woman and her equally stylish neighbors
to wear.
Foliage, foliage, foliage!
That seems to cover it all, in more
ways than one. Next to this display of
leaves come the unlimited masses OF tulle
and chiffon, with scarcely feather visi-
Bile except on the picture hats, such as
the graceful black one and the pretty
smaller one Of white here portrayed.

is quite the thing for wear at this season

white one, with spray of velvet ap-
plique leaves. 1t was made entirely Of
leaves, green ones and others family
tinged with brown and red. There were
sprays falling over the hair at the back,
while at the left side was a bunch OF
brilliant scarlet leaves that lent an ex
tremely cnic air to the whole affair.
Duplicated in dozen different kinds OF
foliage and even flowers was this fiat and
becoming hat, and one might write chap
ters on this alone, with its pretty and
artistic variations.
Made in Oak.
For instance, there was one novel look
ing hat made entirely of small oak leaves,
the oak one knows in California as the
live oak which has tiny and perfectly
shaped leaves. These covered the top of
the toque as well as the outside of the
close rolling brim, if one might say a
toque possesses brim at all. The under
side next to the face, was laid with fold
upon fold of green tuIle exactly matching
the shade of the green leaves, and con-
trasting prettily with those showing a
touch OF red or brown. Peeping from un-
der these fat layers of oak leaves were
the most natural looking acorns, SO that
the whole hat appeared like a bit of the
oak tree woven into a piece Of fashion
abe head gear. Still another Of these
foliage hats, all in green, had novel fac
ing for the brim and one quite in har-
mony with this sylvan fad. The fat
toque of small ivy leaves was faced on
the under side with rich green moss.
While the effect was almost the same as
that of the tulle facing this hat was de-
cidedly odd and proved to be immensely
becoming to one who can wear that Pc
culiar shade of green.
All these hats, by the way, have trail
ing leaves at the back, and if anything
except foliage Of a contrasting color Is
used to give high effect. then It is a
green bird laid on very fiat with its wings
coming over the side. These fiat shapes
are the ones which have been pronounced
the fayorite of the winter season, and be-
cause they are so well liked and have
been found SO very becoming. they are
duplicated in the smart spring styles.
Next to the fiat hats come the Cont
nentals, and they will be found TO possess
more style and dash than ever before.
Peculiar to Itself.
There was one in black and white which
particularly took my fancy, though l
imagine 1t would prove becoming to but
few. The fact is, was SO interested in
1t and wanted SO much to know how it
would suit me that 1 waited some time
while the finishing touches were put on.
1t was extremely broad across the front.
the corners were nicely rounded. and the
back, by way OF a change. had point
curving downward instead of after the
usual fashion. To relieve the broad ef-
feet OF the front two indentations pro-
duced a small corner" directly in the
middle.
The crown and the upper side of the
brim were black and made OF the very
newest straw braid, the chrysanthemum.
This braid. by the way. is well called
chrysanthemum, for it looks wonderfully
like its namesake..

A BLACK BLIGHT
KILLS POTATOES
Fields in North KohaIa District In
Hawaii Are Suffering From
Blight,

The Agricultural Experiment Station
officials are just now hunting for a
remedy for the black potato frost or
blight which has spread to the farms
In the North Kohala district on Ha-
waii. Some time ago the blight was
reported to be doing considerable dam
age on Maui. but this is the first time
that II has been reported to Director
Jared Smith from Hawaii. The same
remedies which are now being expert
'mented with on Maui will be sent to
Judge Atkins OF the Balanona farm in
North Kohala. where the potatoes are
suffering from the blight.
Judge Atkins writes concerning his
trouble: II send by parcel post a
package containing potato tops, in or
der that you may investigate If possi-
BILE the reason for the potatoes turn
ing black before they are half ma
tured.
THE leaves turn black in spots at
first. then all the leaves turn the same
color. and the stalk dies before the
potato is more than half matured. We
used 10 raise the best potatoes on the
Islands in the kohala district. but for
the last three years our crops have
been an entire failure. l used fresh
seed from California these last two
years. but Il turned out just the same
To all appearances the potatoes look
as II the black frost had struck them
only that the whole field turns black at
the same time. The frost generally be-
gins at one end of the field and in
about a week or ten days will grad

time until the ships coming here have
the system installed, as in the case of
the Atlantic liners. and that then there
will be something doing in the way of
the reporting of steamers bound to the
Islands. They. however. do not expect
that there will be any serious INTERRUPT
tons OF the current by the steamers
trying to send messages all the time.
Their method will be to establish such
relations with shipping concerns that
the vessels may be reported but that
they will not interrupt message then

The financial condition OF the corpo-
ration Is said to be improved by the
latest step which has been taken in

the company a series OF judgments. and
these were purchased by Mrs. f. ].

had the suits withdrawn and the exc

amount of the combined claims. This
