true with great force under Uranus.
This should turn out 70 be a great
day for righting wrongs, remedying in

TULLE IS SEEN
ON MANY HATS
Trimming of Spring
Models Is Striking
Feature.
Feature.

~ VERY other hat one sees nova
- days is piled high with tulie,
which is very pretty. The large
velvet hats so much worn dur
Ing the winter have been divested Of
their outer trimmings of fur and feath-
ers, and these soft tuIle clouds put in
their place. The tulle bows, wired and
very large, are arranged at the back
end give a sIde-heavy appearance, as
the front of the hats are almost en-
rely plain.
This trimming by the way. is one OF
The most striking features Of the new
spring models, for nearly all Of the
feathers. -4igrettes, cabochons, and flow
ers are at the back Of the hat. Whole
crowns Of flowers are very pretty, but
look odd when from them rises a cloud
of tulle which resembles a queer srowCh
OF some kind.
Some of the new flowers are bewilder-
ingly beautiful. Some are only queer;
for instance, very expensive roses Of
white dotted swiss are certainly unusual,
though one cannot find them distinctly
pretty. The smaller flowers. such as
tiny forget-me-nots. bluets, little moss
roses, heliOtrope, and the like are TO be
much used, and they are charmingly ar
ranged IN round wreath or square buckle
effect, TO be wired and stood up stin
against the crown, which makes a very
quaint and prim little trimming. Again,
these little blossoms are threaded,
buckle fashion, with some soft ribbon
and fattened against the crown, while
the ribbon makes a soft, large bow at
the back
4 dark blue straw hat which is being
shown is large and fat and has bow
made OF dark blue tulle wired IN square,
outstanding loops, each edged with dark
blue straw. The crown is trimmed with
tulIe threaded through }Ttle wTeaths Of
pale pink roses and small bluets and
light blue forget-me-nOts- Simplicity
seems to be the keynote Of the early
models. For the most part loops and
buckles are put on fiat and severely
plain for the hats for later summer
wear.

FASHIONS DEMAND
MORE VIVID DYES

Paris fashions are characterized by
a wide diversity IN colors. Dyes are
not so dead as they were a year ago,
and yet they are far from being as vivid
as fashions generally call for. Women
who were unwise enough to invest in
several amethyst costumes last spring
are now having them all dyed a much
darker tone or else employing a differ
ent colcr altogether. No dye is so
treacherous, as the amethyst and kin
dred ones. The very best silks and
wooIens fade, and a faded amethyst is
about the ugliest color one could find.
Fashionable tones are in browns and
puppies. though they are wondrously
soft. Blues are TO the fore also. but
these dyes are extremely hard and un-
becoming. But soft as are some Of the
col0rs, the effect OF one and all is hard
IA certain lights.

FINANCING MARRIAGE.

The happiest marriages are by no
means dependent on the possess on Of a
fortune. However, a man, to be fair TO
the girl he wishes to marry, 10 say
nothing Of himself. should have in ac-
tuaI possession some way TO make a
living for her. Many times a struggle
is good for the development Of the
helpmeet when 1t comes unforeseen.
But TO deliberately walk into such a
fight with actual want as stares in the
face the hastily married, penniless, job
less youth, is TO court everything which
tends TO breed misery.--Arletta Bur
rOughs.

Hints of Fashion

Patent leather belts iE rather novel
ored shirt waists. One model is made OF
two rather broad pieces OF leather strap
ped across at the back with a narrow
strap, while a second strap holds the
two together IN the front.
Another new belt is formed Of two
very narrow patent leather straps zone
inch in width laced at the back with
a broad silk Iacing such as is worn in
shoes, the eyelets being OF black. and
in the front two small gilt buckles.
Yet another patent leather belt is
broad and soft, with a band Of heavy
gold braid running through the cenier
One Of the odd hats for the spring is
a large blue straw with rather high
crown, its only top trimming being a
narrow quilted ruffe or greenish silk.
An undertaking Of this same silk and a
single wonderful pink silk rose under
the brim completed very Frenchy Gre
alton.
Many OF the new hats are in most
delicate colors. and wher made of the
wide satinlike straw look like some
offering from the confectioner instead
Of the milliner.
A dream Of beauty was a severely
plain tailor-made suit seen at a recent
opening. The material was of finest
broadcloth. IN a light blush violet No.
TRIMMING Of am kind Toar-red the Rpa
lines, and a it.ing Of exactly the same
shade completed a most effective and
simple suit.
