Early Spring Millinery.

New York, April 81 have just
come back from an early inspection
Of spring hats, and as I wended my
way homeward in a taxicab a mental
register Of my thoughts would read
somewhat like the following: "Wo-
men may some day (heaven save the
mark) dominate politics with the bal
lot. but at the present moment they
don't even dominate their own per-
sonal affairs in the matter Of clothes.
'Why,' said a sufragette to me the
other day, 'men not only dictate to
US what we shall eat, being all male
bakers, butchers and caterers, but
they dictate everything we shall
wear YES I agreed, men dictate
to US what we shall wear, from putfs
and hats to dresses and shoes. Then
the horrid creatures Taught at US for
adopting their fashions, and some Of
them certainly are silly enough to
call forth amusement. But, then, men,
say the weaker sex, have no sense Of
humor. -
It needs, though, no specially devel-
oped sense Of humor to appreciate the
absurdities of the spring millinery
that Partisan artists have provided
for our delectation. This assortment
is more ridiculous than anything
women have been called upon to wea1
for years in the way of headgear fol-
ly. Some of the new models rival in
absurdity the "Merry Widow' Of
last season. The new piece of sensa-
tionalism, however, does not score as
did the "widow' in circumference,
but in altitude. It arises perpendlcu-
larly from the face to quite an awe IN
spring height. Yet, indeed; the carl
caturists are going to have fine sport
with the huge turbans and the "chop-
ping bowl" hat, which, when car
ried out in shirred silk, suggests a
bird-cage, when of coarsely plated
and interlaced straw workbasket
and in another lighter guise a lamp
shade. In reality this "chopping
bowl' model is a big, overshadow-
ing, curved top affair and, as I said,
looks like an inverted bowl with a
submerged human face inside it. Ev-
cry possible material seems to be used
for the making of this remarkable
chapeau, from the most filmy lace
and gauze to utilitarian pongee and
linen. Even when carried out in straw
the effect is wonderful, for in many
instances the millinery artist contrl-
YES to manipulate the straw into sur
prising knots and twists, and where
the braid itself can not be depended

which sets down below the throat line,
gives the neck an ungraceful. thick
look. A common fault is to cut out
the arm size too much under the arm.
This done, and the sleeves sewed in,
the arm is pinned to the side and los
es all freedom of motion; whereas, If
the waist is cut high under the arm,
the sleeve may be tight, yet with no
disaster to the waist. When the
shoulder seams must be altered, care
must be taken to keep the line true
and the position right neither too
far to the front nor the back. At The
base Of the collar the neck line should
be divided into three equal parts: the
line from shoulder seam to shoulder
seam across the front should measure
exactly twice as much as the line from
shoulder seam to shoulder seam across
the back. The shoulder seam must
not be too long, else the sleeve CAN
not be fitted with the necessary trim,
square look. To adjust the waist at
the belt line, narrow belt should be
pinned about the waist, and 10 this
the fullness should be tackled, keep
ing the seams and the line Of fullness
as perpendicular as possible.
When making a skirt, remember a
skirt, even when properly made, will
sway in the wearing This is caused
by the many bias lines. To avoid this,
choose, if possible, a skirt pattern
with many cores, especially if the
skirt is to be worn continuously for
street or office wear. The gored skirts
are more fashionable this season any
way. The many seams give added
strength to the skirt, and the bias
edge on the bottom is not wide enough
to cause any serious damage from
sagging, and, as rule, will not fall IN
ugly lines. In cutting out a skirt
pattern there is always one gore
which follows the line Of the se!vage.
2ad the opposite side Of the @1re is
bias. In joining the cores together one
! bias edge must always be Sewed
against one straight edge to prevent
the skirt from sagging. With the
skirts that have a center seam in
front, and that are cut to hang
straight from a line three or four in
ches above the top of the waist, there
is pad attachment just in front. 1t
is made Of cotton and inclosed in tine
lining material, so that the inside Of
the skirt will look neat. It is about
four inches long and two inches wide,
and runs down the center seam d.
rectly over the waist line. It keeps
the skirt from sinking in. which is
always inartistic. Amateurs do not
always know this trick and they won-
der why it is they cannot always keep
the center front Of the skirt hanoin"
III perfectly straight line.

Bishop; "turn to the right and keep
