The woman who would be sure OF correct
and becoming millinery will do well to
make her selection right here in Omaha
and to be guided by the advice OF her own
milliner. As a matter of fact, and no one
knows this better than the women engaged
in this business, It is not even the average
woman who is competent to select her own
millinery, and in this day Of profusion, Of
eccentric styles and extravagant creations
and prices, no more trustworthy guide
can be had than the judgment Of one OF
these first class professionals. They study
the woman as we'll as the hat, and If ac-
customed to serving her, are the best
Judges Of what she should wear not alone
from the standpoint Of what Is becoming,
but also how II will combine with her
general wardrobe and its suitability for
her social position and its attendant de-
mands. Every one OF these points enters
vitality into the selection Of hat, and IT is
a dangerous conceit that tempts a woman
who would be correctly dressed 70 rely
entirely upon her own judgment.
The millinery shops present a bewlldering
display Of color, flowers, ribbons, feathers,
braids and 'str7ws IN combinations at once
beautiful, 6arin- and unfamiliar.
spring shapes in Hats.
The early hat is inclined to be small and
close in It's adornments. The little button
rose. berries and smaller things that tuck
in well arc much used in the best models.
The sailor shapes are much In evidence
for street, business and run-ab5ut wear.
They preserve the narrow front brIm so
prevalent IN The winter shapes. and while
the backs arc full much trimmed and usu-

run to the extremes in width and are
infinitely moro becoming to the average
woman and much more pleasing A variety
Of crowns are shown i'm the sailors; the
large round. Cat crown the dome crown
and the high round crowns that suggest
section Of large stovepIpe. This is ex-
treme OF course, and should be carefully
considered. The dress hats are larger and
in a great variety OF shapes. Tuscans,
burner leghorns Milans, French chips,
Neapolitans and horsehair braids are made
up and bent into all sorts of shapes to
suit the wearer. Anything in ostrich
feathers is good. These are combined with
flowers in some of the most expensive and
desirable models.
The flowers. especially the roses. that
will be worn during the summer differ
materially from the varieties that have
been wcrn. The big garden rose and the
American beauty are the favorites and
these are put on very much though
Miady had gathered them and pinned them
on herself. The effects are charmngly
careless and artistic, but the woman who
wears them will do we'll to make sure that
carelessness is confined to the effect alone,
for unless carefully selected. such a hat
is one of the most impossible creations a
women can put on her head.
About the COIors.
The Italian leghorns in the burned
shades and rougher than have been seen
for years, are especially good, and the
straw and wood colors in other materials
are much in evidence. As to colors, the
tea rose, which the Illuminated might call
the old rose is one of the best, but as this
Is a season Ito match" other shades and
eolors are just as good. For the midsum-
mer hat, the all white, all black or the
black and white combinations will be very
good.
All considered, the smartest thing that u
woman can wear this year. as every year.
Is the hat that is most becoming to her
general style whether that be one of the
newest extremes, or Just some modest
shape. The colors and materials insure the
other things most desirable.
Novelties in Wells.
The more exclusive millinery shops are
showing some exquisite novelties in dust
and automobile wells. These come in two
tones, the part covering the face is Of
grenadine and In lighter tone. This
reaches to the back of the hat and at the
crossing joins the long ends of princess
chiffon in the darker tone. These tie under
the chin and come in the three-yard
lengths, The auto scarf in liberty silk,
figured or even hand painted with shadowy
flowers is one of the most beautiful now

the chin.

! necked gowns. 1t is a wide fiat collar
and extends half way to the waist in front.

For the Little Girls.
Some charming lingerie hats are already
in for little girls. The little close fitting
hand made bonnet is the correct thing for
the tiny ones. but from years up the lit
tie white hat is counted especially good.
