FOR SPRING TRADE
SCHUNEMAN q EVANS OPENING
PROVED MAGNET TO MANY
SHOPPERS
THE LATEST STYLES IN HATS
Fluffy Braids Are the Correct Thing
This Year-New Designs
Are Fetching and
Pretty.

The large number of shoppers that
viewed the spring opening of schune-
man & Evans millinery parlOrs yester-
day found much to admire and marvel
at in the beautiful hats displayed to such
excellent advantage in the well-lighted
rooms. These rooms are in the new part
of the store and are most tastefully
fitted up. The first thing impressed upon
the maid or matrOn in search of a hat
yesterday must have been the prevalence
of white both as trimming and as a
foundation for the spring and summer
hats Another fact noted at yesterdays
opening was the absence of the heavy
satin braids that made such popular
trimmings last fall. Fluffy braids have
been substituted for these plain braids,
and an Easter bonnet this year cannot
fail to be correct if it is trimmed WIN
either a chrysanthemum or a Persian
lamb braid.
Two exclusively new hats have come
in this season, the Gibson and the Mar
quis. Both these new designs were at
tractively displayed yesterday and were
much admired. The Gibson hat is
morning hat, which latter term, by the
way, has taken the place of the shirt
waist hat. 1t is made with fiat crown
and a high rolling brim. This brim is
trif1e fatter and much higher at the
sides. An immense wing is fastened on
either side on the outside of the brim,
and these wings are almost the only orna-
ments on the hat The Marquis hat, as
it's name suggests, is very Frenchy. An
exquisite hat of the Marquis design was
diplayed at Schuneman & vans yester-
day. 1t is made of pale blue and white
French pattern chip braid. The braid is
seWed cleverly so as to form the crown
of white which continues in one piece
into a pale blue draped brim, slashed in
velvet baby ribbon. There is the very
proper droop to this Marquis shape in the
back, which shows festoOns of the velvet
ribbon with long pendant loops. A black
velvet bow, made of innumerable fancy
cut velvet ribbon ends, decorates the left
side of the soft crown, and is fastened
in place with a cut steel cabochon.
A picturesque hat displayed yesterday
is made of black open work hair braid
over a foundation of white taffeta silk
The facing is of white straw braid A
graceful design of velvet covered cable
cord extends about the edge of the upper
brim Black velvet ribbon is brought
about the crown and tied in loops and
ends at the left of the back A certain
charm is impaired to the design by ar
ranging the plumes to sweep to the right
rather than to the left. soft knot and
twist of black moline forms a pretty I'M
derbrim effect
The new chrysanthemum braid trim
ming was displayed to advantage in a
black fancy chip hat exhibited yesterday
| Two rows of the braid, one white and
the other black, trim the rolling brim.
The decoration in the back is formed Of a
fiat rosette made of alternating rows Of
the black and white chrysanthemum
braid, pierced through with fancy pear
shaped jet pins. The roses are marvels
OF the art1icers skill, half the petals
Of rose being black, the other nalf
white, showing spatter work of black
and white dots. One or two reveal a
faint suggestion of heliotrope. All are
scattered in pretty confusion over the hat.
Much of the credit for yesterdays most
successful display is due to Miss Haines.
