Flower trimmed hats are again fash
ionable this year, but there IS a new
way of wearing them-a coquettish
way. Empire and Directoire modes do
not go well with purtanical millinery,
80 the newest millinery designs are built
to emphasize the general effect Of the
gowns with which they are worn. This
little toque has a crown of corded chif-
fon finished with a double brim of pink
silk roses. There is no touch of green
about the hat, the ribbon at the back
being long, full loops of deep rose vel
vet.
The matter of hair dressing enters
largely into the question of stylish
headgear, too, the new seasons models
calling for more or less elaborate Golf
fures. Both the high and low couture
Is modish, but those who can wear the
latter becomingly seem to prefer 1t.
With small hats, however, the high
headdreSs IS more effective Parted
hair IS also worn by women to whom
1t IS becoming, but no woman OF taste
will let her devotion to fashion carry
her beyond the point of an attractive
couture. Hair ornaments are unusual
ly pretty this year, and the new combs,
barettes, etc, show striking departures
from the old conventional lines.

Chenille fringe is noted on many
white street gowns.
Smooth satin crowns as feature
are marked on many of the spring hats.
Braces Of materials to match the
skirt are worn with the corslet skirt
over the lingerie blouse.
Leather certainly has become a fad
in Paris this season. To one tailor suit
with braid or velvet there are hun
dred trimmed with leather.
There are many fashionable shades
at the moment, but none are in way
so pretty or so popular as the different
tones of pink and old rose.
Some very smart women use velve-
teen for their vests. While the effect
is rich, it is not dainty, and Is almost
too much Of a good thing"
The girdle is part of every costume
and must be considered when one is
considering the rest. There are all
kinds Of boas and all kinds Of slippers
For morning wear smart little toques
Of fine straw or erin are trimmed with
a single stiff wing in front or to one
side and a bunch of ribbon loops at the
back
The palmer the short skirt, the
smarter it is thought to be. Rows Of
machine stitching are always a good
finish in the plaids, checks or mixed
cheviotS.
To those who can wear pink, brown
is sure to be becoming, and there are
no smarter costumes this season than
the rose pink gowns worn with brown
caracul jackets.
A soft gray walking hat is turned
up on the left with a huge gray bird,
whose bigness is almost grotesque.
Most of the hats seem to be quite over
come by their trimmings
Vests of soft red damage dotted with
black or white are very popular for
coates that are worn half-open. The
vest is tight-fitting and often for con-
venience is made with sleeves.
Embroidered sleeves add one more
rich touch to some of the new blouses.
The design of the front is repeated, In
a smaller way, upon the back, and
broken up and scattered all over the
sleeves.
There is little difference in the
clothes ordered for matron or maid.

materials and models are chosen for
women with gray hair quite as often
as by young girls.
The smaller the waist the more tight
fitting the effect of coat or waist, the
smarter the costume is thought, and
the end and aim of every woman, be
she debutante or grandmother, is to
look youthful, especially as regards her
figure.

two people who proposed TO enter the
bonds of matrimony, .ne had none for
the man who had proposed to her.
Should she marry him in the hope that
love would follow?
To a certain extent sympathy is akin
TO love, but the former only develops
into the latter when nothing interrupts
the intercourse Of the two people con-
cerned. But there is, in the first place,
always the great danger that after a
girl has been married to man she
merely likes and sympa thizes with, she
may meet with one for whom all such
minor feelings are swallowed up in the
great factor-love.
Even suuposing, however, that no
other man appears on the scene. II a
true census was taken IL would probably
be found that the majority Of women
are disappointed In some way with re-
gard to the men they marry. But love
helps them to forgive faults, to regard
more Of their husbands virtues.
A girl VINO marrieS man simply De-
cause she sympathizes with his troubles
and trials, his ambitions and ideals, re-
ceives a severe shock when she finds
after marriage that there are several
flaws In the man whom she liked to re-
gard somewhat in the light of a para
gon. She may find that his disposition
and character is such that he deserves
blame rather than sympathy, because he
has not realized those ambitions he is
so fond of talking about
No, sympathy is not a sufficient mo-
tive for marriage, and more especially
when that sympathy is aroused by the
shortcomings of a man whom a girl
thinks she could reform Of bad ways
by marrying him.
