be said of those which were shown at
Powers opening to-day. But, fortu-
nateiy for the well-groomed woman,
the beauty Of hats this year: lies in
SUCH subtle distinctions that they must
pc seen to be appreciated.
| Inc department. has been enlarged
and beautified, under the direction Of
one OF the Well-known millinery men
or New York. where he has spent his
HE among the best importers. This
fact Is evident in the hats which he
displays, the variety Of which bears
out his own statement:
STYLES have never been so varied as
now. The leaning is toward airy and
graceful effects, carried out with
! small flowers and daintiness Of design
thruout all trimmings. The lines Of
toques and turbans have never been
80 beautiful nor so becoming. What
might heretofore have been called a
conglomerate mass Of trimmings may
now pc used onr:s a 10 single hat, but
everything must be blended into ex-
quistte harmony
AS case in point, Mr.. Daugherty
showed an imported foliage hat. The
crown and under. briln fwerey,of moss
green, woven, satin braid, rather in
Ginning to vividness. The entire trim
ming was single, broad wreath of
french flowers, which, ought to have
spelled discord, but didn't. The thin
nest and softest. of sheeny, green
leaves fell over the edge, the wreath
narrowing to the back almost to
point. Among the leaves were velvet
phlox, tlnting from blue pink to deep,
rich violet; American Beauties, fresh
oiossoming,. and those aged into pur-
pie; tiny forget-me- nots, faded, of
course; now and then a deep, dull
Jacqueminot or Pauline du Chiere,
and In front, Just a bunch of tender
lilac twigs. The hat was at once dar-
ing and HARMONIOUS fit frame for
some distinguished faee-an 1880

A military continental from Virot

Exquisitely simple was a Suzanne

braid fashioned into rosettes. A wide
Chantilly lace, with deep embroidered
edge, was gathered into big ring

it fell, fan-wfse, over the back, cas-

There are few hats that are COM

year, and dainty; lace affairs with
edges from the tiniest corded edge or
small pattern to edges wide-embroid-

match appropriate hats. "
Shirt-waist hats, the note of. which
is fine material and simplicity of trim
ming, were never prettier nor more
wearable. Shaded ribbons trim many
of them, but the bows into which they
are made, and the traceries they may
indicate, are mysteries save to millin.

AS for flowers, as we'll try to de-

are small and pattern everything from
the modest cowslip to the sauciest Of
roses. Then there are all sorts OF
fruits that you long to eat.
Many tinted hops are among the new
est things, and lilacs, and wistarias,
smaller than the real blossoms. OF
the old-fashioned order, too, are the
ostrich plumes shading. from white
into orange, blue, or champagne.
The department was trimmed en-
