Among a number of simple hats, suit
 able for street wear. was modified
 sailor, with wide brim and low crown, in a burnt straw. The hat was raised in the back and the bandeau was
 covered with crushed bows of white ribbon. The only trimming was two
 very long, narrow wings, black and
 white, which were laid across the top of the crown. These were apparently fastened to the hat with two large
 turquoise hatpins.
 Another sailor hat was pure white, in a fine straw. There was a crushed band of black velvet around the crown, and above this band of white satin.
 In front were two pale-blue quills thrust through gilt buckle.
 A deep tan Continental shape, in a
 fine, flexible straw. had a band of tan
 maline draped around the crown, and loose punches of rich red roses and
 leaves in three of the dents in the brim.
 This hat was charming in color, and
 very picturesque, which the majority of
 the seasons millinery is not. However, it Is easy to avoid the aggressive smartness of the present modes. Every conceivable shape and style of hat is to
 be had, made up or otherwise. There
 are many women who change the style of their headgear very little from year to year. Having found exactly the right shapes, they are wise enough to stick to them, modifying them only enough to conform to the general mode It is
 easy enough to have an old hat copied.
 Nowadays milliners expect to make
 most hats to order.
 There Is a sailor shape that is prov ing wonderfully becoming to many
 women who could never wear the
 ordinary sailor. This has short brim, and the top of the crown is extended as wide as the brirn. Between is a hollow space, which is filled in with ribbon or flowers. Such a hat would be admir- able for travelling. An example was in rough burnt straw, with three shades of blue Liberty satin in the trimming. Very attractive, also, are the colored lingerie hats which are being shown.
 They are especially good for country wear, but would not look out of place in town os summer morning. A
 handsome Corday shape was in pale- blue heavy linen, the edges scalloped and embroidered, and the entire hat worked with eyelet embroidery. Around the crown was a double band of black velvet ribbon, and there were stiff bows of the velvet on either side, M
 Straw braid and maline in alternate stripes made pretty reseda green hat in round, box model. The hat was rolled up in the back, and was trimmed over the bandeau with looped bows of green ribbon. Two black scissor wings trimmed the left side of the hat.
 The polo urban is seen everywhere. Whether it will outlast the first months
 of the season Is a question The hat is one which ,tempts the pencil of the |caricaturist, especially as the women who wear 1t are not all of the proper type to render it even tolerably at tractive. The congregations of coiffure which are an invariable accompaniment also tempt the cartoonist It is hardly possible that women of taste will wear | the absurd little urban long.
 The shops are blooming with para l sols and sunshadess Far away the most attractive among the colored sunshades lis the English or club coaching um- brella. This has a long stick enarnelled | to match the silk. Others have natural wood handles. The long handles of wood terminating in a carved head of animal or bird are very smart. The lcoloring of the heads is most artistic of these umbrellas are by no means ex- travagant, and almost any one can lafford at least one colored sunshade. At one large shop this week there was a
 sale of coaching umbrellas for $295.
 For $S one may buy a really handsome umbrella with a carved handle. Idots in various colors and deep borders lof taffeta to match the dot decidedly popular. These have natural wood
 handles and sold for less than S5.
 I Eyelet- embroidered linen umbrellas and parasols have been described be- Ifore. The colored ones which are be- ling shown are rather more practical l IutIl 4tiiUSG OLsaWllllGs #WIilCHa ltU lprotection from the sum- Some of the
 white ones are lined with thin green lsilk, which helps their usefulness.
 I One hot close morning this week it iseemed as though every customer in lone large store was patronizing the fan
 counter. Numbers of the prettiest little
 paper fans selling from 10 cents to a
 dollar. Most of the fans were Japanese
 gayly decorated with little figure and
 bits of landscape. Near by were some tiny wooden fans With the sticks
 decorated with Dutch children. One of
 these had a row of auaint schoolboys
 running along in their clumnsy sabots, one Of the procession throwing a boy fish gesture backward as he ran. The fans were marked 50 cents, and were worth more for decorations.
 All fans are very small One for eve
 ming was made entirely of the smallest of pink button roses with a background
 of green moss and leaves. Other flower fans showed violets lilies of the
 valley hyacinths, and panies, which last
 named flower is very much in vogue
 this spring. Fans with lace insertion
 among the pictures are not new this
 season, but they are extremely pretty
 and will be poplar. All-lace and gauge
 fans are also in demand. Spangled
