Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1907-03-12

TO take notice and observe Intelligent
IL and we came to the conclusion
that most of the hats this year are
| going to have short front brims and
long backs.
We got up against that word ban
deau again here when they told us
| that the bandeaux this season would
| be high. There were whole lot of
hats here shaped like mushrooms and
saucers and inverted saucers- sorter
hang down all around, you know.
The latest one and the best ever, is
what a girl told us was an airship. =
Its daisy and has got Santos Du-
mont's work in this line beat mile.
We saw one before ii was finished aud
before it is doubled up in the making
ii is the exact shape of an airship.
There were some others they said
were ''double deckersf and Shepher-
dess. We like both of these. The lady
here was just as nice and patient with
us as she could be and told us lots of
things. She says that scarfs, called
streamers, are popular and are made
off flowerrs, velvet and tulle.
Cne cracKer-jack design she showed
us is Leghorn with a green-covered
crown of horsehair braid with wreath
of varigated French roses, grass aig-
rettes and streamers of black velvet.
Another one that we thought was sor-
ter striking is of black Neapolitan
with a sort of coanet of tulle around
the crown. 1t has olack plumes fall
ing over the side very gracefully and
bandeau of American Beauty roses
and streamers of tulle edged with
lace. one daisy, though, and what
we thought as about as stylish as
anything we We seen in a long time,
was of apricot colored straw. 1t had
wreath of American Beauty buds
around tho crown with a grass aigrette
and n bandeau of green velvet. The
slightes thing we saw, though, was
what the young lady told us was n
cornicopea bow. Ii don't look any
thing like a cornicopea. but il is
pretty. 1t was on the crown of II
Misses hat made of Marie Louise braid
Mr.. j. NJ. Strange's millinery par
lor on Main street was where we went
next. This was where the girl friend
scared us to death. After we got over
our fright we saw that the store was
all decorated in its holiday clothes.
There were plants and real flowers
and artificial ones all around and it
looked real nice in there. Among the
artificial ones was wheat, oats and
barley. They make fetching aig-
rettes. We saw lots of shades of
Marie Louise, leather brown, green,
light blue and pink affairs, and the
lady told us these colors would be
much in vogue this year. We also
found out here that small hats are go-
ing To be used this summer for every
day wear, while large and fancy look
ing ones will be the thing for dress
occasions.
We saw another French walking hat
here that was the real thing to us. 1t
was in black and white, rolled at the
side and had the swellest looking
black tips with an aigrette on the left
side. 1t was of black and white chip
straw and was nifty looking. One
that we almost wanted to buy our
selves only we wouldn't make up
our mind who to give it to--the lady
told us was called a Neapolitan. II
was one of the kind for dress occasions
and was trimmed with a pink ostrich
plume and draped with pink maline
and had large pink rose on it. She
was inst as nice as could be TO us
when she showed Burnt Leghorn.
She explained that burnt meant 'un-
finihed'' Leghorn. IL was faced with
black satin and trimmed on top with
black satin and green grasses with
tiny red rosebuds. 1t had a bandeau-
draped with black Maline. One real
stylish effect was black Neapolittan
with pIeated taffeta with black jet
buckle and two sweeping black
plumes.
The last place we got to was Miss
F. NJ. Woolley's, in the Arundel
