cause climatic conditions were more favor
able but Easter falls earlier than usual,
and perhaps because many spring hats are
velvet faced and present hardly any sug-
gestion OF alriness.
As usual turbans had first call. although
not by any means to the exclusion OF large
shapes. The blcorn Is the most pop.ar in
medium priced hats, and for the more eX-
pensive hats the new sailor and nameless
picture shapes we're snapped up
There has been a most pronounced favor
itism shown for red in It's clear and more
brilliant tones, and up to the time Of our
going to press the Chantecler craze has
not abatsd. While roosters appear whole
on some of the more ultra hats, the major
ity OF the women are content with only the
head or tail. or sometimes head and tail
as the decoration for their Easter hat
Pheasant tails are In great demand. These
are often used with the ROSTERS head.
and are considered smarter than the coque
feather. which has been in evidence all
winter. The golden hen pheasant was the
object of the lordly Chandeliers affection
in Rostand's barnyard drama, so that 1t is
but fitting that her plumage should share
in the honor awarded her mate by the
sartorial world. Very gorgeous are the
ers. for in them we find repeated the many
colors peculiar to Persian embroiderles and
materials, which are, as we know enjoying
great popularity.
Brightness of the Offerings.
Draperies Of cashmere silk and chiffon
are one OF the salient features of the
month, remarkable for the brightness of its
millinery offerings Bold indeed are some
of the combinations Of color affected. B.ue
and red, both in every strong bright
shades, make favorite combination, and
these shades, by the way. are the two
leading colors. Blue Is good In every
shade from marine to French blue, and
while UP to the present chantecler and
other vivid reds have been the only reds
considered, a deeper note is struck with
the introduction OF Van Dyke red which
bids fair to be well liked, therefore popular.
There have been comparatively few all
bdaek hats sold this season, but there are.
Of course, stunning black hats made bright
with flowers or coored ostrich, and very
large percentage of hats are faced with
black straw or velvet Quantities OF black
rnaline as used for the wide-spreading
wired bows that are placed across the back
OF the largest shapes, or arranged in a
and toque. Then, too, so many coronets
are made Of maxine plated or laid into
folds which are woven basket fashion.
Full crowns OF mallne, yelling flowers are
also used, and recently the idea of putting
a single layer of maline over the entire hat
has been noted, the maIine being in self
or contrasting coler, as the designer sees
tit. Persian chiffon and French crepe is
used this way. too, although more often
puton with some fullness.
ChanReable taffsta is a material to be
rookoned with this season, particularly in
naore cOiorings. Wide taffeta ribbon is
we'll liked but the ribbon most in demand
Is velvet, in black and the fashionable col
ors There are many novelties in ribbons,
and the colored backed velvet. ribbons may
be put In this category. I
Lace is growing in favor, but there are no
transparent effects, the lace always being
"sed over straw There are novelties in
quyls, cabochons and buckles made OF
narrow valenoiennes lace. it. is chantily
lace that is the prime favorite, and black
is used over white and highly colored
straws.
