OF the new hats are alluring in their way.
The large shapes because they are pic
turesque, the small ones because they
look chic and the medium-sized because
they seem practical, but those points do
not help the Would-be purchaser to decide
which type of headgear is likely to be the
leading mode during the late spring and
summer. The worst feature about this
perplexng situation is that no human be-
ing can be regarded as reliable prophet.

of her sailing from Cherbourg and the
hour of her landing at NV York some
thing entirely undreamed of by herself

Paix and been promptly taken up by the
smartly garbed ParfSienne. Far-sighted
milliners believe that the surest way to
keep customer is to endeayor to sell her
hat which is distinctive looking and per-
fectly suited to her individuality. rather
than to push an extreme mode which may
be utterly out of the running after a

with intricate embroideries of metal and
silk with jeweled ncrustations and bules

not crush the sleeves or the bodice trim

worn, and that they thoroughly cover the
