EASTER B0NNETS
MlLLIHER TELLS WHAT KIND OF
HEApeEAR WILL BE WORN
THIS YEAR. NJ

These are busy days for the miiiin-
ers. All the stores that deal in wo-
mems headgear have augmented fore
es at work trimming bonnets for Eas-
ter. when femininity will swoop down
upon the shops In search of the pref.
test that can be had for the money
she has to spend.
A well known milliner in converse.
ton with a reporter to-day said hats
would be built on conservative lines
this spring, and there would be none
of the freakish tip tilted varieties OF
last years models. Continuing and
speaking with the knowledge Of the
savant on this subject the milliner
said:
Mushroom shapes. which havs been
gaining in favor all winter, appear In
many variations in the new goods, and
there is tendency to carrythe trim
ming over the brim in front, catching
It in and giving the narrow front eff.

The oblong styles-where the hat
is longer sidewise than from front to
back-are shown in some particular.
ly smart models.
"a beauty was in rough light blue
straw, with trimmings of ostrich
plumes and with a medley of small
flowers and fine foliage arranged on
the turned up brim at the back of the
hat.
"a very chic creation from n noted
French maker was Of fine fiat straw
in a grayish olive tint,
1.-THE brim was faced with uncut
velvet and turned up in front after
the cowboy style, so much affected
by students. A long pfumed ostrich
feather of delft blue started from the
crown little at the left of the center
front and dropped toward the back.
"Curled paradise plumage is the lat.

ut is very pretty and unusual look
ing, and the price asked for It will
prevent Its becoming common.
Specimens of this sort run upward
from 1914 each--for the feather alone. l
mean, not for the hat, which may be
that amount doubled in many cases.
Ostrich feathers are as popular as
ever. with good reason, since nothing
desired seems adequately to replace
them with mauy styles of hats.
Most OF those seen were Of the
loose, curved variety. Very few of
the long models now are presented
for wear with spring walking suits.
when the carriage hats are shown
later the sweeping dropping plumes
may be more in evidence.
1.-The colorings are particularly not
able. Besides variations OF the many
sorts in the new citron shades, there
are melon and apricot to furnish q

The trimming in this instance as
in many others, was piled up directly
