New Hat Helps wardrot ;.

Nothing helps out between he sea

nat. The advanced shapes fo spring
are fat and broad and pretty effects
in fancy straw braids are am ing tie
first models which are noticeable for
their simplicity.
One stylish hat was fashipned OF
black and white straw braid, with no
suggestion of crown. The 1at was
made to be worn over the fnce. the

decidedly in the back. The only trim

Fashions in Millinery.

Lace plays a very important part.
Long scarfs of lace and chiffon mingle
together. and both are frequently
worked with chenille. Beaver hats are
all the rage, and there is a good deal
of the astrackhan trimming in various
hues. as well as black. There are
sable toques and plenty of petit girls
and these are sometimes trimmed
with flowers, but the mixture is con-
gruous. It looks well with the fur
stoles of the same skin. lined with
ermine. and completed by huge
grannie muff The Persian kaftan is a
shape in hats which has been revived
and may possibly supplant the pres
ent Spanish toreador. These have a
handsome ornament. sometimes in
front, either paste or colored stones.
and when they are made in sable and
other good furs this gives great effect.
especially when white moire is min
gled with the fur. Nothing is more
effective. as rule, than black hat
trimmed with silk cord and gold tas-
seled ends, dropping plrmes falling
over the back and at the side. Col
ored feathers are often introduced on
black beaver. as well as on black felt.
and there is a great fashion now for
bright emerald green aigrettes: Thick
ruches of ribbon encircle many of the
crowns.

Bunchy or fiuffy neckwear is quite
passe; fiatness alone prevails.
Many OF the latest trimmings. just
from Paris show combination OF as
many as six different materials.
Seeming simplicity. avoiding all
over-elaboration of trimming effects,
marks the winters smartest hats.
Nasturtium is a darker variation of
the prevailing burnt orange tone and
is more becoming to many people.
The latest style of modern tea gown
ia a curious combination of princess
and empire gown and long lace coat.
A vest of embroidery In blues or
dull orange linen is exceedingly ef-

In shape there is nothing percep-
tibly new, even in the most swagger
costumes. Long vertical lines grace
fully sioping toward the back is the
prevailing effect.

Luscious Salad.

For late supper or luncheon
where salad a bit heavier than a
plain vegetable one is desired the fol-
lowing is a delicious one:
Have pint of cold. plain boiled
potatoes; pass them through the
sieve. open one pound OF French wal
nuts. put them In boiling water, SO
as to remove the skins with ease.
Leave the nuts as much as possible
In halves. dry them with towel and
cool them. Cut the tender part of
two romaine salads one-half finger
length. reserving the hearts to be di-
yided In four parts for the top OF the
salad. Put in ice water fifteen min
utes. drain in a salad basket or in a
clea- towel. Do not bruise. as it must
be crisp

Pink Satin Dinner Eroek.

A dainty dinner frock of pink satin
is made with long clinging skirt ap-
pliqued In renaissance lace. The
waist is relieved by touches of black
velvet which give 1t very Frenchy
appearance. There is pointed girdle
of the lace. The short sleeves are of
the satin, with ruffle of lace under
the full rufiie of satin. The bodice is
filled in above the girdle with soft
white chiffon. Clusters of tiny pink
rosebuds are caught in with the knots
of black. Velvet ribbon adorns the
front of the bodice
