Spring beauties" used to be name APP
piled to flowers but to-day it might easily
be applied to hats. ! The seasons fash
ions almost surpass the exquisite fash
fonings of dame nature herself At Good

lace, has blossomed not only "as the rose
but as every other known form Of beau
tiful flower. Every taste and fancy in
flowers and coloring may be gratified this
season without passing beyond the realm
of fashions dictates.
True. there are blossoms which are
favored above their sisters, but ali are
welcomed to- the brilliant assemblage
which seems so real that one half expects
to be greeted by the varied perfumes of
the flowers. The modest, r-get-me not
which has been pressed to the background
in past seasons, is a prime fayorite this
year and one of the beautiful French inn
porta tons shows a rough straw of forget
menot shade, so cleverly fashioned that
it is hard to tell where the tiny flowers
nestle into the straw and where the straw
alone is used Ribbon in for-get-me
blue is interviewer in the, straw Of the
broad brinl, and delicate pink roses are
caught to the bandeau and made to nestle
softly against the hair.
The delicate new blue which the Paris
ians have placed before, US, this season
appears in many of the richest models
One imported hat made Of soft pleated
malines. has: a silk insertion in the new
blue surrounding the crown. The inser-
tien is SO rich in design and coloring that
IT seems to be the. work of fairy fingers,
and most exquisitely sets off the beauty
Of the pale roses with their, dropping buds,
which form; the only other trimming Of
the crown. Soft lace: and malines are
used to line, the graceful brim and form

beauty - ~ -: :.
< A picture hat of soft chiffon with silver
spangled lace is one of the. distinctive
works of millinery art. Tiny rose buds
and long graceful sprays of hops appear
upon the crown. while little roses, inter-
mingled with eleverly, fashioned rosettes
OF soft green satin, are: held in place I'M
der the sweeping brim by buckle rich
in brillian ts.
A striking hat, fresh from, the fingers
of noted French milliner, shows a low
crowned white chip, edged with crimson
velvet. Crimson roses and deep purple
vloets lie against the crown and peep
from beneath the straight little brim.
The daring combination of colors would
be trying to many a complexion but the
effect on a fresh and piquant face is
Charming.
"A dream of summer is brought to mind
by the sight of a large hat in champagne
colorings in which a. satin braid com
bined with lace insertion forms the
foundation upon which to fasten beauti-
full. plumes in the ehanpag ne - shade,
and : the delicate hop clusters, which
promise to be royal favorites this year.

stories in which "a low-lying rakist
