Timely Pointers.

The run" upon the small hat with turn-down brim (for ordinary street wear) is one of those unaccountable freaks of fashion. which confronts one almost every season. Far removed from anything like grace or beauty, it has been as eagerly caught up as if it were a charming creation. Usually of ecru straw, and set back from the face on a pompadour roll, the ensemble is distressing to a person of true taste. Oftentimes wing or quill adds to the bizarre outline and oftentimes large cluster of flowers at either side, gives a saddle-like effect-anything but pleas ing.
 Lingerie hats charm the beholder with their soft lace or batiste embroi- dery frills. and satin ribbon bows or loops, with flowers disposed at option, or sometimes an entire wreath then again one or two single flowers are placed anywhere that may prove be- coming. These hats are easily made at home, the shirred brim being the only part requiring any special skill. One of tucking throughout is attractive, and if one possesses three or four lace sprays, they can be utilized on the crown. If an expensive and elegant hat is desired, large Leghorn or chip. trimmed with white velvet and white ostrich plupes, or white taffeta silk is available. Large roses and white plumes are in fashionable favor. or flowers and velvet. Colored feathers in two or three shades on black chip afford the brilliant coloring desired by some brunettes.
 This natty little jacket is seen on many Spring suits, prettily trimmed with rows of buttons in line effect on the skirt, bust pockets and sleeves, of course with buttons of considerable size at the front. It is made in vari- ety of -materials-silk, serge or brillian- tine, the former of heavy quality or lined.
 Thinner fabrics such as French voile, is the preferable, and no more stylish trimming can be had than braiding on a silk band around the skirt on the certainly somewhat early to fortell Fall styles and fabrics. but those who dwell in the innermost circle are posi- tive that silk will be the material for next season and the cordial appreciation extended to the Mirage de Fantaisie" in the early Spring was due to it's peculiar beauty and excellent wearing present clinging styles and it's shadowy surface in all fashionable hues. imparts special charm.

 Charming little Etons. Fascinating little white linen Etons trimmed with
 embroidery or handwork, are brought out for ornament rather than use
 suitable to any kind of morning or ear ] ly afternoon dress. Others are o1 l corded pique, also ornamented with French dots or embroidery. A thiro style is in very sheer lawn with nar-
 row lace insertion. As may be under
