One of the Rare Creations in Spring
M Hats
is SHOWN AT THE NEW STORE
The Popular Du Barry-Flowers Are
= Everywhere and in Every
K Shade.

Santos umont may never be able to
bring his air ship to further perfection,
but he has received recognition that Will
be worldwide, for one OF the prettiest OF
the new spring hats has been made for
him. There isSnothing about it to sug-
gest aerial navigation, and it is all of
soft mode shades, in turban shape, with
ribbon run through twists, OF burnt tan
braid around the brim. Above: is a wreath
Of cherries, the red shades in striking
contrast to the rich browns, and in the
back is a bow of ribbon that falls low
over the hair. The model was shown at
the millinery opening of. the. New Store
yesterday and deserved all the admiring
adjectivesf 1t received. .~@ :. - =
Flower hats" said Mrs. White, ARE
the prettiest features of the season, and
they suggest spring in every curve of the
natural looking petals. Never were flow
ers used in such profusion as they are
this year, and with the flowers come the
fruits aud berries,'' and she showed
charming affair Of soft blue chiffon,
plated over crown and brim. Its only
adornment was a. wreath of white berrieG
and green leaves. The combination of
the blue and green was very suggestive
of France, the land of millinery modes.
The flower hats rival each other in
beauty, and it just depends. on woman's
type which she prefers. There is one of
red geranium blossoms, crown and brim,
with. a twist of black velvet and gera-
mum eolored silk around the crown that
would be stunning on a brunette. The
golden haired woman will fall in love with
the graceful shape Of pink roses yelled
around the brim with a lace scarf that
droops low in the back. For the "betwixt
and between woman there is a hat Of
white rose petals, just tipped with a sug-
gestion Of pink that has a Haunting bow
of black velvet and white satin ribbon.
IT, ut. ! x;,,1x l,aA a,,t
teffng boa Of chiffon, rt1ftled and plated
and caught here and there with knots of
pink ribbons.
An odd combination is light green
straw that twists and knots to trim itself
and is caught with a handsome cut steel
cabochon. Above the knot on the left Is
a great cluster of violets, leaves and
flowers arranged to fall over the low
couture. In striking contrast was the
hat beside 1t, which was Of white horse
hair with a drapery OF malines, thickly
sprinkled with pearls and trimmed with
soft feather pompon.
The Du Barry.
The Du Barry hat which everyone is
talking Of, is of biscuit-colored braid.
The turban crown is encircled with wheels
Of the straw edged with narrow black lace,
and there is fall of black velvet in the
back. 1t is a pretty model and quite
worthy Of the charming actress, Mrs.
Leslie Carter. who has brought it into
prominence.
Another actress, Jane Hading, is re-
sponsible for the fact that SO many of the
hats are yelled with embroidered net that
may be worn over the face or thrown
back on the hat. Whichever it is the
lace falls in the back. quite to the Shout
der Several of these lace-veiled hats are
at the New Store, and though they have
the scarf in common, each has distinc-
tive style. One is all of white Irish lace
with pink roses around the crown and
nesting under the brim The scarf is of
black chantilly lace and the whole effect
is one of charming simplicity. A hat of
soft white silk appliqued with cream lace
is Pouyanne model and has a drapery of
pearls caught with pearl cabochons
around the rolling brim
Popularity Of Black.
The popularity of black hats cannot be
questioned and some of the New Stores
prettiest models are in black, straw, silk
or malines. A Heitz-B Boyer model has the
inevitable lace scarf draped over a brim
of black leaves and roses. A wreath Of
pink roses yelled in the lace encrcles
the crown of hat made of tucked Brus-
sells net and in the back is knot of mar
, row black velvet. A pretty bit of color
is found in the wreath Of daisies, yellow
and white, which trims black lace crea
| ton.
Flowers are everywhere and in every
shade. The favorite combination seems
| to be the, June roses and the forget-me-
nots that carries the older women back
several years to- the days, of their girl
| hood, when garlands of the same pretty
! flowers were used to enhance their
beauty. The hats themselves are like
! flowers, gracefully poised upon long stems
and flowers heap the show cases and fill
| the pretty baskets through the rooms I'M
| til the big apartment in the New. Store
is aglow with spring beauty. Hidden
among the foliage and the blossoms, or
| hung high above, the cages from which
| bright-eyed canaries peep out in SYM
| pathy and their song rises above the chat
| ter of the women, and each note is full
| Of Joy at The coming Of the spring.
