NEW YORK, March I6.-New ideas
and novelties in wells for spring and
summer are man. The lace veil is
being taken to a greater extent than
ever, but manufacturers of novelty
wells have dropped this to quite an ex-
tent. They are showing lines of mesh
wells of various styles, the newest of
which are trimmed with chenille fringe.
Popular colors in these designs are
green, grey, brown and black and
white. The ultra fashionable shops
are showing new shades of green in
goods of this description. the weight
and contrast of the border giving the
most pronounced effect OF the veil.
In spring millinery styles wells and
draped effects are quite the feature.
Scarfs and Veil Trimmings.
Importers have provided largely for
seats and veil trimmings, as last sum-
mer in Paris towards the end of the
season chiffon draperies were extern
sively used for trimming plain hats of
panama and Clipped straw, the chiffon
being draped about the crown in folds,
the ends hanging from the back of
the hat almost to the waist line. The
latest Paris models brought to this
market represent hats in iarge effects
of black chip horsehair in shapes or
dropping effcts. The trimming con-
sists of varied combinations such as
maline, velvet ribbon, point d'esprit,
ostrich plumes, paradise, etc. Flowers
are also being used and are expected
to be a prominent feature in the trim
mings during the summer. Ribbon
trimmings of the streamer order are
also prominent in the new material
and are also worn on all the most
dressy hats.
Effective Color Contrasts.
Color contrasts are always effective
and whenever fashionable are sure to
be popular Naturally it takes master
hand to obtain artistic combinations
for, unless the shades tone in perfectly,
the result is quite dreadful, but this
year the majority of the colors that
are contrasted seem to be most happi-
ly selected, so that the gowns of pal
est and most indefinite shades are CIV
en- considerable character by touch
of brilliant pink, blue, green or what
ever is becoming to the wearer or
suitable to the frock. There is, how
ever, always the danger of running too
much to an opposing color, which is
quite as serious a mistake as is the
choosing of a totally wrong shade.
Different Tints Same Color.
Different tints of the same color are
always attractive, and for the spring
a dark cloth suit can be made consid-
erably brighter by the addition of
light cloth or silk collar, reveres and
cuffs. A navy blue serge costume,
than which nothing is more service
able, can be made more suitable for
the coming season by having a light
blue collar and cuffs, while purple and
pale lavendar are attractive in COM
bination. Striped dresses in two or
more shades of the same color are ex-
tremely fashionable this summer, and
then there are numeberless checks
and mixtures that make up most eff
fectively. Transparent materials,
such as wolfe and any sort of gauze,
are, as a rule made up over lining
of their own color; but they are fire.
quently laid over white or light shade
of the same tone.
colors That Are Fashionable.
There is a certain tone of bright
carnation pink that is rendered doubly
attractive by a small touch of light
blue and then mauve against soft
brown is often charming. A raspberry
pink chiffon costume, made in pref
ty empire model with little V shaped
lace vest, the latter pordered with
tiny reveres of light sky-blue pink,
would be stunning. although there
would be no other suggestion of blue
upon the dress. A robe of pink crays-
tallized would be attractive with a
narrow empire girdle of liberty silk.
If there were a touch of the same blue
ribbon in the large picture hat that
would set off the suit. The ordinary
we'll known shades of color do not,
as rule, make such good contrasts as
the unusual ones. Blue and green can
be most effectively combined in the
darker as well as the paler shades, and
the dark blue silk with just touch
of the right shade of green is excel
lently smart. Blue check wolfe made
up over green silk is a very useful
style of garment The changeable
blue and green shirt waist dress are
also excellent
Character of New Hats.

summer models. There is a certain |
