with cabriolet crowns and short backs
There were many fascinating turbans
both in tulle and straw and in COM
bination Of the two materials Some
OF the snartest models were helmet
shaped in ribbed straw with borders
Of small flowers and knots of black
velvet A very fetching creation Of
this style was in bright blue satin
straw, innocent of trimming save a
small bunch Of pink roses at the side.
Another hat in this military shape was
OF black. erin. having compact little
bouquets of pink and white anenones
at equal distances about the crown.
All the old fashioned spring flowers,
including jonquils and narcissuses. are
plentifully used.
In sensational models there is the
three decker hat with ultra high crown
and almost no brim Such piece Of
headgedr gives an effect of heaviness
and an utter disregard for the law of
balar ce 1t viii be a thousand pities
II these three decker monstrosities be-
come popular, for they only possess
charm on certain heads On tailor
made hats the large bow evolved from
silk or satin is still prominent trim
ming. In these fabrics the loops are
much more graceful than when ribbon
is used for the bow The new hats
display a great variety In straw. and
there is a decided simplicity of adorn /.
ment, but the color schemes are SO
lovely and artistic that the amateur
coloris, is lost II she attempts any,
thing out of the ordinary. So takins
the spring millinery in It's entirety
! ranging as 1t does from stir toques to
picturesque bonnets. the results are
mighty satisfactory.
Having discussed the hats of the mo-
ment, / have a word or two to saw
about the blouses of the season. ANY
one who thinks that the modish wo
man has forsahen the separate waist
Is sadly mistaken, for one sees the
| loveliest new models in all the shops
Fine lingerie blouses have become q
necessity of the summer wardrobe
and new ideas in this useful garment
abound why. it even looks like the
| old time light silk waist worn with 9
dark skirt would be revived; at any
rate, celebrated shirt waist house or

the dark dotted silk at the base. Such
blouses are designed for wear with
skirt and coat suits that match the
color Of the polka dots and band trim
mings. There are immensely chic lit
tie blouses of pongee and foulard. with
trimmings formed OF narrow Persian
borders. This model lacks the dis
tinction OF the pin dotted variety, FOR
] it reminds one OF the hfdeous bandanna
AFFAIRS OF several years ago. Embroid-
cred dots and scallops decorate many
OF the new silk and linen blouses.
Cotton Grape waists trimmed with
cluny in band and yoke effects are
