with an imported pin, carrying metal
birds on an amethyst field. Then she
told Of Copenhagen blue, old rose,
champagne rosebuds, and other colors
and accessories which the reporter can
hardly reproduce in order. Next she
described the French, Spanish and
Diabola turbans. the large new sailors
and other styles.
Miss ShafeP remarked that she was
inclined to think that the ladies would
be just a little slow about accepting
the large hats at first; but there is
no question Of the fact that large hats
are the go and so soon as this Is gen.
orally appreciated the question will be
settled. But then people who may
prefer something else are not to be re-
stricted to large hats. There are
numerous pretty shapes, and every
body can be suited without being bad
ly out of style"
The imported hat pin Is another
feature of this springs millinery that
Is not to be overlooked. 1t seems that
the foreigners have q monopoly Of the
secret Of the production Of certain col
ors and designs and almost everything
in this line has been brought from
Paris.
Silk facings are a feature Of many
of the new hats; they are usually the
color of the straw on colored hats
but when the natural straw or white
Is used the facing matches the trim
ming rather than the straw. Thus a
deep tan straw with rim rolled back
slightly from the front Is faced with
taffeta the same shade. The round
crown is covered with white and pur-
pie lilacs and loops of tan taffeta rib
bon to match the facing.
One Of the prettiest of the flower
trimmed hats is Of golden brown Tus-
can straw, with sIlb -oses in old gold
and dull blue mingled with black wis.,
tarla sprays. Folds of shaded brown
taffeta encircle the crown.
In all black q striking hat has the
crown draped with folds Of jet pail
lette. The black plumes are held by
a jet pin. The hat itself Is black
Milan braid.
In the new coral tones the treat
ment is varied; sometimes but touch
is noted, again the entire hat and
trimming Is of these fashionable tints
Thus a coral straw, wide-brimmed
picture hat has several plumes Of a
deeper tint, while straw braid Of cor
al with a relieving note woven in OF
other colors is wrapped around the
crown. Again a black Milan stra"
has coral silk gathered around the
very high crown.
Among the Leghorn braids is one
in natural tones with rather a simple
but very effective decorative wreath
Of red velvet poinettas with dark
green leaves.
For the children are all sorts OF
pretty styles among which, perhaps
the most charming are the wide
brimmed shade hats wound with
wreaths Of spring flowers.
Among the smart little turbans
now so fashionable, Is a round white
straw with a black straw rim. One
white feather stands up like a cock
ade from black velvet bow.
Another smart turban with a black
crown has shirred brown maline
around the edge and black beads fes-
tooned over it. The aigrette is black
In this turban, the whole effect being
carried out in brown and black.
For a bridesmaid a spring-ike
model is a shade hat Of white chip
with white gauze draped around the
crown and a mass Of white anemones
and dogwood blossoms give a rea
April touch.
In direct contrast to this are the
mourning hats, upon which coarse
mesh filet wells are feature for warm
weather. One toque is composed OF
alternate folds of black crepe and fl
let, and the veil attached is Of filet
bordered with the Grape.
There are a number OF good look
ing all black hats Of fine straw; others
again have colored trimming, as In
the case Of a Gainsborough model, a
dull black pliable straw, whose sole
decoration is one very long green
feather, which is invisibly fastened to
the front of the crown over the brim
at the back. others have decorations
in the new coral and geranium
shades.
Flower turbans are always attrac-
tive, and an unusual touch to red
geranium toque is a French bow made
of taffeta ribbon ends in the exact
shades of the pink and green of the
geraniums of the toque itself.
Among the extreme shapes in tall
ored hats Is very stylish dull-blue
hat with an absurdly high crown and
very narrow brim. The crown Is
wrapped with brown brocade and
black satin, and a pompon OF brown
feathers harmonizes with the color
scheme. It may be an exaggerated
style, but it is very charming nal
and one apt to be becoming to wear
with a new spring suit.
There were a number of out OF
town visitors to the openings Wednes-
day night and yesterday. Glover, Gas
tonia, Hickory Grove, Rock Hill ano
other points were represented. While
ordinarily there is no expectation OF
sales on such occasions, several ladies
were so captivated that they made
purchases on the spot. Altogether the
occasion was great.
