Rainbow In the Hasbeen

Take the word Of New York milliners
for 1.-THE midsummer hat "is really
lovely" with a variety OF shape and
color to suit all tastes and purses. The
demand at present is for the close fitting
hat, the Durbar turban and tiny pokes,
hut unquestionably large. rather flat hats
will be worn for midsummer wear. Many
Of these are veiled with printed chiffon.
net and lace and are vey soft and dainty,
although they have not the flufflness
characteristic of the lingerie bebe hat.
As to color. primerose, purple, blue and
amber are very good. as we'll as green,
which is always good at this season.
Flowers are being forced and the out
look for them is very good. particularly
in combinations Of many kinds and colors.
There are many black and white hats
being shown. black predominatIng. White
wings, breasts, fRncIes OF eccentric de-
sign, numidie vulture and paradise are
all good in white. In fact. white and
cOlored wings and feathers are much
better sellers than black. 1t is a season
OF high colors, with no one color more
popular than the other, unless one ex-
cepts the rosy changes which are re-
9eated so often in flowers.
A Beauty.
A very smart beret is shown made Of
fine milan In a rich shade of violet.
This little hat is trimmed with ostrich
tips and small posies in deep rose shades
and bands OF violet velvet. Another very
lovely hat was in deep mulberry hemp.
with high standing coekade OF flowers.
which were in a bewildering array Of
colors This cockade. like so many others,
was caught at the front OF the crown,
the brim turning back TO that point.
Many OF the smartest shapes flare off
the face or high at one side and are
slashed. the trimming being introduced
at this point.
or portion OF It is veiled the net lace
or chiffon is stretched without fullness
over the surface. Maerame lace seems
To be the favorite for millinery. Bands
Of white or ecru maerame are used to
trim dark straw hats. the lace being
used over the straw. A side pIeating of
grosgrain silk or ribbon is often used as
a finish. a fiat button covered with the
silk finishing either end OF the pand.
Macrame lace is often used on tailored
hats, the hat most often being black.
Lovely Beehivex.
Small close-fitting hats resembling bee
hives are covered with macrame lace
and made. Of course. on a wire founda-
ton first veiled with thin silk or chiffon.
These dainty little hats have their edge

and covered with shlrred silk or satin
ribbon in some bright shade. coral being
very smart. A very smart hat on this
order was in white lace with vivid
primrose ribbon on its edge, the only
trimming being three buttons about the
size Of a o-cent piece. which were used
in cluster halfway to the top Of the
crown. two OF the buttons being IN prim-
rose and one in a dark blue, very
'Frenchy'' combination.

season, for flowers have not been good
for some time and the wheel OF fashion
always revolves. Even now flower hats
are having some sale and that argues
well for the continuance OF their favor.
High cockades OF flowers are well liked.
These are very smart made Of combina-
tions, orchids, roses. pansies; all sorts of
combinations are good.
There Is, az we know. a craze for pearl
and crystal trimming in Paris, and this
is being felt here. Tho newest orna-
ments are fashioned OF pearl, crystal
and amber and are very odd and attrac-
tive. Fringe particularly crystal fringe,
is very good for gowns and ia used for
millinery as well.
bons are forging ahead. Fancy ribbons
and changeant taffeta are also good, so
that the ribbon trade must feel kindly
toward the millinery trade, indeed so
generous Is the latter In distributing Its
favors that everyone ought TO be happy
this spring, so many things being good
, in millenry.
The Turkish bath towel hat, the en-
broidery hat, the hat OF silk. yelled or
unveiled, the lace hat, the summer felt
for outing purposes and the many kinds
Of flower and straw hats result in an
endless variety. which is pleasing to all
parties concerned.
Novelties in Abundance.
One Of the features OF q season rich in
novelties Is the idea of yelling one ma
tertal with another. Net and chiffon are
equally popular. A very beautiful hat
recently imported was quite round and
all but fiat, having a three-lnch rounded
crown. over the entire top of the hat
was layer OF white chiffon printed In
a delicate empire design the wreaths
being composed OF many colored flowers
very tiny Of course. The chiffon was
cut in a circle and laid over the hat,
crown and all. and was not caught to
the crown or drawn in to show its out
line A wreath. composed OF small
flowers, roses. forget-me-nots. sweet peas
and other blossoms. representing the
colors In the chiffon, was applied flat to
the brim edge, a similar chain extended
from side to side across the crown at
the front. a bow of French blue velvet
finishing the chain at one side. This is
a charming example OF the new fiat hat
which by midsummer will be the mode.
White chiffon with black or blue polka
dots is also used over white straw and
smart milliners are showing scarfs made
Of the same chiffon to wear over ones
shoulders. The newest of these are edged
with a number OF forty velvet ribbon
The shoulder scarf is a good side line
for milliners. particularly II IT can be
made from chiffon, similar to that which
Is used on the hat. Make them at least
a yard wide and three and a half yards
long.
Chiffon is used to cover or partially
cover parasols which are in all manner
Of eccentric shapes this season. Dome,
bell. pagoda, lamp shade and palm Leaf
are some OF the new shapes Fashion
DEGREES that ones hat and parasol should
match. so that milliners are adding para
soils to their stock.
