me 0rSI OI lHe Spilu6 Opthii6S Ni V" hundreds of women to Caheen Brothers yesterday to inspect the newest fabrics, the smart hats. the spring walking suits' for while the counters have been heaped with summer fabrics and the lowered hats have been displayed for several weeks still the richest creations are all ways reserved for the opening. The wom- en who thronged the beautiful shop on Second avenue realized that furs and vel vets and long cloaks had given way to chiffons, and laces and flowers, and they welcomed the change
 Hats Are Flower Affairs. The hats are flower aIaIrs and made of chiffon fancy straws and braids. The "Du Barry hat is the rage. Mrs. Leslie Carter's play influences the seasons hats. The first act of Du Barry is millinery shop, and the popularity of the play has made the Du Barry hat the vogue. There is a Du Barry touch in everything, or a Leslie Carter touch, which is the same thing.
 A distinctly Du Barry hat was shown yesterday in black chiffon, massed with white roses. It is really colonial shape, the brim being embroidered In sequims and finished with a string of pearls. Two pearl capichons ornament the crown. There were many Du Barry hats in black. Foliage plays a large part in the sea- sons millinery, and when combined with the linen braids and the satin straws, the effect is very charming. A hat of pearl grey satin straw had It's brim massed in exquisite pink roses, over which was draped a scarf of white lace the back being finished with large bow of white panne silk. Another effective hat was in plaited castor chiffon ard broom straw, the briIn of autumn foliage and pink roses. There was a smart bow of panne silk at the back, caught with steel buckle.

 Even the children will wear many flowers upon their picture hats. There were several exquisite picture hats shown for children. broad-brimmed straw was trimmed with clusters of forget-me-nots. caught at intervals with black velvet ribbon, and the brown-eyed- -Susans and daisies were used in artistic profusion on many of the hats.
