 designs from Paris They are the
 only milliners in the city who i'm
 port directly from Paris all of the lat
 est models, and the new importations
 are hats which will please even the
 most fastidious. Perhaps the most
 notworthy in the collection of Parisian
 creations is a medium sized hat from
 the shop Of Madame Alphonsine. This
 hat is made of the popular tagel
 rose red. .t is trimmed with several
 fine ostrich plumes and broad band
 in the same shade of primrose, with
 one tall holding plume sixteen inches
 high. Another striking creation is
 from the shop of Madame Georgette,
 and is a tri-corner shaped affair giv-
 ing Napolean, effect. This hat $ is
 made of black Milan braid trimmed
 with white Marguerite ostrich feathers
 covering the entire crown and briin.
 The whole is surmounted with a tall
 French plume, and gives the black
 and white effect so popular at prcs-
 ent.. A Normandy poke bonnet from
 
 Of the new creations. This bonnet is
 made of white Macreme lace over the
 entire top, shaped to show the ears. It
 is trimmed with 8 box plaited ruffle
 of Briton lace, and a wreath of small
 roses in pastel shades, with large soft bow of black velvet six inches wide. From the shop of Caroline Re- boux comes a small close fitting hat made of black tagel braid. The low CT edge of the hat is trimmed with a three inch band of spangles and bril- liants. The upper part is trimmed with a wreath of fifteen inch natural bird of Paradise feathers. Still an- by the Maison Lewis. This is in the new helmet shape, made of brass col- ored fancy straw, in a novelty weave. This is trimmed with two brass col ored ostrich plumes at the front rls- ing almost perpendicularly. Draped across the top of the hat from left to right is broad black velvet ribbon. with a long loop dropping yard and a half on the right side. From Mad anne Birot comes a large hat in the Gainsborough shape. This is made of white hemp braid, the entire top is covered with white Macreme lace, trimmed with two uncurled plumes at the front, headed with star shaped rosette. Under the brim is a
 broad band of black velvet, also a deep under band which raises the whole from the head. From Maison Lewis also comes new creation in the popular Quaker drab shade. This | is a small hat. made of straw braid, covered with Macreme lace in the same shade, trimmed with a band of velvet in the new shade of primrose red. On each side are clusters of berries to match, and on the whole Is surmounted with a Numedfa aigrette. A large black hat, covered with point de spirit lace with a fancy straw ap- plice edge, is trimmed on the under side with two large feathers which curl over the crown. Another large black hat is also trimmed on the under side l with cluster of black bird of para
 disc plumes. while the top is covered with white Briton lace, gathered about straw. and large Alsatian bow.
 It is to be noted this spring that nearly all the large hats are trimmed on the under side, while on the small Ter and higher hats the p1umes are now of the straight uncurled style in- stead of the dropping Willow plume; The flower trimmings on the tailored hats are also of the stick-up variety. After two or three seasons without them. the use of flowers this year is a pleasant change. The most pop ular colors this season are the new primrose red, brass color ana deHt blue.
 Messrs. Dillon 6 O., also carry a large and varied line of untrimmed hats, with a full line of trimmings, so that one may look over the impor- tatjors and then have 1t copied less expensively. Certain 1t is that no la dy can fail to find something at Dill Ions to suit both her taste and pock- efhook
