A tour Of inspection through the dry
goods stores during these days Of open
mlgsr tends to the expectation that the
spring season is to, be gay-in point Of
color, at any rate. The predomnating
kones in dress goods are light-rose
5inks. baby blues. grays and pure white
being much in evidence. It would seem
10 fashion students that the continental
love of very light shades had been adopt
I'd by American women.
And the hatsl Such extravaganza of
izimming. such gaiety Of eolor, would be
Aara TO equal in the modes of the past
few years. The Johnny Jones" sailor,
the ~Longworth, " the Panama derby and
{. the French sailor are in the lead for the
newest shapes. The bfoad-brimmed fat
hats, turned into every fantastic shape
Aossible, and much trimmed with ribbon,
lace. maline, flowers and feathers. prom
Use to fulfil their prediction of popularity,
and certainly they are very fetching ars
generally becoming. Ribbon, especially
khe novelty ribbon in pastel shades, seems
10 be very strong in the spring millinery,
and some of the hats carry as much as
ten yards of it.
Feathers, in spite of all the agitation
pf bird lovers against them, are stronger
than ever. and bird-oof-paraddse plumes
ARE to be seen on the very Amartest hats.

sailor shape, with crownsof crushed roses
and moss, and with beautiful plume,

are combined with everything. and these
are seen in the pastel shades - match
the hats or the ribbon.
| Heron aigrettes, too, though protests
have been lodged against their use by
hundreds of the women of the United
States, are shown in every variety, every
color, and are put upon some of the pret-
hest of the dress hats. Something en-
tirely new this spring is the peacock
feather, and it promises to be leader.
Several Of the local stores are getting in
a big supply of them, many to be used
In natural colors and others dyed in the
pastel shades. Some of these are not

The new eolors are the petal de rose,

which is newer and more fetching than

winter, and must take a back place ac-

tnuch, and reds are laid away with my

the navy and other shades, are good style
and viii probably remain so all season.
