Exaggeratedly large as are some of the shapes, they are certainly attractive in
 coloring. The queer old pinks and blues are charming, and the picturesque note is
 well carried out in the trimmings of feathers, bows and flowers. Extremely bright colorings are rather an experiment. but while the all black hat is, as always. fashionable, and this year most effective. the eccentric ill color and shape is still most evident. The trimmings of bright colored birds and wings-not necessarily the wings that belong to the bird from the naturalists point of yiew-are in great favor, and pale gray hat with a bright bird, is, for instance, thought effec- tive, or brown with yellow or scarlet, or mauve with blue, and so on through all the strange combinations of color that are now in style. The black hats with colored feathers or flowers are invariably , ropnlar year after year. just as are the white, and this spring the white hats with colored trimmings, feathers or flowers are more popular than usual. A white hat ! trimmed with several soft ostrich plnmes Of nattier blue arranged to fall forward over the crown of the hat is most charm ing and can be worn with either white or blue gown. Economy cannot, how ever, be ascribed to this, as the cost of such hat is far greater than would he the prices asked for two. as rule. Pink In all shades on white, yellow on white and black on white are all fashionable and if the hat be of straw it may be in either rough or smooth weave. This season the fine straws are extremely fine, While erin or horsehair is also used. The coarse straws are in elaborate patterns, like heavy lace.
 At the moment satin and tulle hats, the latter combined with satin or velvet, are the smartest of all hats. Feathers or flowers or bows of tulle and flowers are the favorite trimmings, and the flowers are most wonderfully true to nature, both in design and ,coloring;. Osprey. bird of paradise, the Tyre bird and the gourah are so expensive as to make them most desirable, but there are most effective feathers that have no name but are quite inexpensive. and that are also fashionable for the moment

~ UTE the most pronouncedly new ( feature of the new cotton and linen
 frOcks meant for morning and in- formal afternoon wear will be the ere tonne trimmings which are being used on many of the most attractive new frocks. These are in the genuine crctonne or chintz patterns and in the varied colors that have always been used in these de- signs. large and small roses. green leaves, &r.. in heavy and ornate design.
 The material is not really that of the cretonnes. but is rather heavy linen. and most of these trimmings come as borders on linen materials which are meant to

, even that is changed in some curious, in- dehnable manner so as to be in keeping with the fashion of the day, and is not hard, prim and aggressive, as was its wont in the olden time. As it now appears it is extremely smart and has a stiff trimming at the side that extends far over the brim toward the back. One of the most conservative shapes has just a hint of the sailor style, but the brim turns up instead of being quite straight, and the trimming is on the crown, or, if massed at one side, does not extend over the brim.

METCALF TEST|F|ES
Before the Committee Investigating
Electric Boat Company Charges
of Corruption.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald
Washington, D. c., March 19.-Sec
rotary Metcalf, as a witness before the
committee investigating the charges
of corruption of congress by the Elec-
trio Boat company, said former Sen.
ator Thurston suggested asking the
attorney general whether or not the
Lake boat could be purchased al
though it was shown to be an inferior
boat. In the past Metcalf said Rep
resentatives Butler, Sherman, Leuden-
slayer and Roberts called on him and
said they thought it was to the govern
ments interest to have both kinds of
submarines. Metcalf said the pending
bills did not compel him to buy only
the Electric Boat company's boat, but
he thought the pending naval bill
gives the Lake company enough time
to get in on the appropriation for sub
marines. This contradicts one of
Lilley's charges.
