Though Easter is late this year the
hat with its little touch of fur is by no
means a novelty. I'VE are making a
hat for a Newport woman said a mil
lirer whose hats run very high into
two figures, which will be worn for
nice occasions. 1t is a lace hat, with
high crown covered with lace. ana wide
lace brim, partly trimmed with folds of
maline. The hat, which has three very
large pink crepe roses on one side. is
trimmed also with a band of fur which
is cut only half an inch wide and is laid
around the brim and caught In place by
the roses
There is another handsome hat TO be
worn at Newport which might have
been brought out as an Easter hat.
This hat is a toque all in softest folds
Of white with little ermine ornament
upon one side 1t will be worn on cool
evenings With a fiat er1nine stole and
will be one of the prettiest hats Of the
season. 1t might be mentioned here
that wide band of ermine, caught with
a gold buckle. will be worn as a girdle
Thus the costume will be made elegant
Ermine and sable fur are TO be quite
extensively worn this summer in the
world of smart dress.
1t is such 2 season for elegant touches
in dress. such a time for putting on
little strokes, which make the dress
handsome. One will see a lovely corn
colored hat. trimmed with black flow
ers, and. with the hat. there will be
the corn colored stock and the corn
colored girdle and corn colored parasoi
This finishes costume as completely
as one might wish.
All sorts of light goods are to be worn
with heavy trimmings, and thus one
finds many novelty. It IS not that
there are 50 many new goods or so many
new trimmings, but that there are so
many new WAYS of wearing them and
of combining them.
One Of tie most charming of Easter
hats affords a striking example of this
Ihe hat, which Is straw. of small
size, is something on the toque shape.
but at one side II is built very high.
AS an ornament there is
There are tea tray hats-let them be
so called just once-that are covered
with blue forget-me-nots. Under the
back there is set q very high bandeau
and. upon this bandeau. there are for
get-me-nots and roses, masses and
masses of them. Picture this shape and
style in all the flowers OF the garden
and you Will have what Is perhaps the
most popular OF all styles OF Easter
hats.
There is such fancy this Easter Sun
day for turning the brim OF the hat up
over the crown. A milliner picking up
hat the other day to be trimmed, took
the two sides OF the hat and turned
them up over the top Of the crown until
they met She tnen placed six large
pink-roses right ar the place OF meet
ing on top OF the nat. 1.-The hat Is trim
med she said. laying II down with
smile Of satisfac. ion. Now for the next
one"
The tendency LIS to take the straw hat
of the season with tall up-rolling sides
and to take these sides and catch them
up on top of the hat There they are
fastened and, just on top, there are
placed. fiat and gorgeous. the hand
soonest flowers you can obtain. IL
makes a neat and very effective trim
ming. There are no hanging ends. no
trailing roses, no soft and fluffy trim
mings, nothing but the smart roses on
top.
What is the most popular flower this
spring. asked a woman Of sales
girl "Violets, roses, forget -me-nots.
carnations or poppies. which flower
holds first place in popularity"
None Of these" said the girl Though
all are worn great deal But the most
popular of all flowers is the snowy ger
