MILLINERY AT Mlas sfAloiiEN D,
 Spring, the most beautiful of all seasons to nature loves, is here and the bright days find the shops full of an- imated women. For after the long winter, my lady sees the necessity for that touch of daintiness and brightness which always accompanies the spring fashions. Those who were fortunate enough to visit Miss Spatcher's mil linery parlors on Wednesday looked with delight upon the dispay of charm ing hats and artistic decorations. The Ameriean woman is to-day leading, instead of following, the fashions and she spends much thought upon the adorning of her pretty head; for if "a woman's hair is her glory" her hat certainly adds to that glory. The be- holder sees first the hat, therefore It is essential that the face be framed in the right setting-that style and color combine to enhance it's beauty. Miss Spatcher endeavors always in build- ing her hats to study the style and shape of face of her patrons, in this way emphasizing that individuality for which our American women are noted. One lovely hat seen, the "Merry Wid- ow" shape was of net, the crown banked with pink roses. A rhine stone pin and black aigrette completed this. Another, leghorn. wore collar of cherry-blossoms, foliage and roses and was most lovely. The military turban was shown with the new Heron aigrette and the Dorothy Vernon" in green with the Hussar brush effect. We noted a charming little hat from Paris, designed for matron. This was built in black and white with gar lands of violet cowslips. The beautiful hats of net which are so much in vogue this season were shown and the sailors, which are very swell for later wear, al- so fine line of Gage tailored hats. This is handmade millinery season; one of the great features being the making of flower bands and pompon flowers from petals. Rose petals are used with knot of velvet in the heart of the oliver. Straw braid and ribbon combined is also popular. Filet net lace is very modish and flowers, grasses and tiny wings are used in pro- fusion. Miss Agnes Stimson, who has been in a New York house dealing in Parisian importations, assists Miss Spatcher this season. She brings to her work style and originality and is sure to please. Miss Bessie Northrop, who has spent three weeks in New York studying the hats, is again with her. Miss Spatcher invites your pa- tronage and is glad to show her hats to all.
