EASTER HATS AND OTHERS.
Beautiful Spring ConfectiOns For
OreaxY or Smart Streri Mear.

Beautiful Spring Confections For
Dressy OF Smart street Wear.
Pink straw, white lace and flowers
compose the lovely Easter confection
of the upper figure sketched by the
DelineatOr, while white straw, black
straw and a black quill form the other
very smart affair. The same authori-
ty says:
There is suggestion of the pictur-
esque baby" hat in some of the
dressy models. One Of rare beauty
was made entirely of rufiies of lace
outlined with gold. Tie lace was
caught up at the left side, where the
palest pink roses nestled and fell over
on the hair. In black lace ruffies edged
with gold, American Beauty roses sup
planting the pink ones, this would be
striking style for Il young brunette.
TSe lace rutfie falls over the brim and
shades the face slightly in these new
'baby' hats, and ofttimes Il pretty
touch is given by spray of blossoms
caught in the ribbon bg1- and trailing
over the brim to the back, where it
falls on the hair. For street wear this
pretty hat is fashioned of glace tafreta
or liberty satin. It should match the
gown in color
The black picture hat trimmed with
white Tyre feather is one of the es-
sential items Of fashionable ward
robe and it has come forth again In
tulle and lace. The brim of this hat is
straight and suggests the large, round
sailor. 1t is slightly raised at the left
side and in front by a bandeau. Hats
of this type are becoming to almost
every woman, but they should be worn
only upon dressy occasions
There is touch of gold in nearly
all of the newest models, and it is ru-
mored that this military suggestion
will be more and more in evidence as
the season progresses.

though, that in no way suggest nature
which are nevertheless beautiful and
full of delightful possibilities.
The new toQues are much smaller
than those that were worn during the
past season. They are quite oval in
shape, forming almost a point in front.
At the sides they are close fitting, and
in nearly every instance long lace
drapery' that falls over at the back il
a distinguishing feature. All sorts Of
materials from coarse straw to tho
filmiest lace win be employed to fash
ion these modtsh hats.

Of tiny red rosebuds is the distinctive
feature Of a new and dressy hat. The
wide, straight brim is of black chan
tilly lace, the finely scalloped edge of
the lace falling over.
So fashionable is ostrich plumage
that in some cases it forms almost the
entire hat. A model of rare beauty
had the entire crown of pale pink os-
trich feathers, with the wide, straight
brim of cream lace.
The violet hat is included in almost
every spring outfit.

The New Line In Bodices,,

The middle portions of bodices in
general are full or given that modffi-
cation of fullness which plaits achieve,
says Vogue. In this respect our gowns
are further emphasized by many new
and odd ways Of keeping up fun fronts
above the girdle line, while fiat backs
are to be retained. This movement
reduces the ttresome vulgartzed front
blouse line, and yet saves us for awhile
from dart fitted bodices, which, no
doubt, will come sround in good time
Smart tatlors have already accepted
these foreign hints. and some Of their
latest suits bear evidence of this.
