pTYHE Easter hat is as necessary to
the happiness of the average
woman as is the graduating frock
III TO the school girl and while it is
the custom of the times to SCOT
at such an Idea and to declare 1t is all nom
sense to feel that there must be a new
hat for Easter Sunday, the woman who
does not accomplish one is sure to feel as
though she were in some way defrauied Of
her rights.
Easter Sunday is not always, from
weather point OF view. the most pro2itious
day OF the spring in which to go out
CARRIED IN spring clothing, but still the
very knowledge that the hat has been
bought and is in the house means "sdch
lot" and gives piece OF mind and tran
quiIlity OF manner that is worth struggling
for. so that milliners find it we'll worth
lhelr while to have plenty OF shapes and
models for their customers to choose from,
although the weather may be cold and
stormy.
Essentially springlike and fresh and
dainty are the hats now displayed-perha2s
IN very contrast to the darker colors and
heavier fabrics worn during the winter
They seem especially attractive, and GER
tainly such as are now displayed Will be
found hard to resist. Flowers, and flowers

mings, and this always makes the styles
Eeesm especially well suited 10 THIS StdSoH

also to be seen, in larger number than the
heavier effects. and even the al-blacK hats
have trimmings that are combined with
lighter materials that make them look
entirely unlike the heavy black hats that
have been worn all wintr, while black
hats trimmed with bright flowers are IN
great demand, and very smart they are.
There are, IL such thing be possible,
greater variety OF shapes and colorings,
while there Is no size limit. The most alb
surdly small hats, looking like nothing so
much as inverted saucers. are perched at a
most coquettish angle al the side or the
head and carry upon the small area or
hat countless roses and an ostrich feather
or two, most cleverly disposed on the
crown and under the brin. Then there
are large hats with dropping, shady brirns
loaded down with flowers and feathers and
loops of ribbon. and medium-sized, modest
looking shapes with quilllngs OF tulle
around the crown and only at one Side O
eprig OF roses one ostrich plume ard
two or three roses beneath the brim at one
side.
Then there are what might be called
practical shapes. of medium size, simple In
effect moons picuous and attractive and yet

be worn. and only relieved by toucn OF
color in the flowers or other trimming:
The old-fashioned sailor shape is revived
this spring, and, although the models now
displayed are all trimmed more or less
deliberately, the present outlook would indi-

mand The sailor shapes now exhibited
have low. round crowns and rather narrow
brirns and are trimmed with pleating OF
tulle or net or with q band of ribbon around
the crown and stiff wings at either side,
and have bows of rosettes of ribbon under
the brim at the side and back. All the
paler shades OF color are popular With
trimmings matching exactly In color. pale
