Large hats are being made for the
Riviera. which leads us TO the belief
that. large beribboned and beplumed
picture hats will not be extinct this
summer season. The hat of the mo-
ment is a black affair. and is most
universally adopted at the present
time, in fact a black hat is indispen-
sable TO the smart woman. but It must
all be black for we have done with
black hats that are trimmed with col
ored feathers. An exception is made in
favor of white wings or the military
"Panache" of white uncurled plumes.
Many OF the curious specimens now
seen have but a short lease of life,
quite evidently. Milliners have >to feel
the pulse of the public and find out
what is rejected and what will prove
acceptable. A becoming style has al

the other hand. many ugly fashions,
too, have survived.

able In fact. a black jetted evening
gown is as indispensable as a black

] passementeries began with the large
cabuchons of hollow jet beads as bat
| trimmings. Of which l spoke in The
| Call some time since. Now we see
embroideries of fat tubes of jet on
all the new black evening frocks. The
short bolero of jet as an addition to
/ princess gowns is seen.
A new note for yokes and sleeves
is a figured cream-colored net with
a finely tucked plain black tulle cover
ing il. All evening gowns of colored
satin or silk have sleeves and the tiny
yoke of tulle is the same shade.
The heavier silks that have been laid
aside so long for the softer liberty sat
ins and silks promise to be once again
in vogue. Faille and soft. rich looking
silks are shown in the larger shops as
spring novelties.
