New Millinery Modes.

There is a multitude Of feathered deco
ration in spring millinery which is enter

Of pleureuse variety. But of the two
monstrosities the p.eureuse feather, with
it's artificially heightened fronds, was in
finiteiy more graceful than the stubbly,

Few can conscientiously admire the lat
est fashion of trimming a hat. 1t may
be unexpected, and unexpectedness be a
ways Of achieving it, and this is surely
one of them. If you would adorn your
hat after the manner of Paris you must
plant your priceless aigrette or superb
bunch of feathers in such a way as to
suggest that they have nothing to do
with the matter of your hat. Ignore the
latters vast eXpanse of unadorned silk
or velvet and fix your trimming under
the brim SO that it shall stand away
horizontally.
The golden rule is to encroach as much
as possible on your neighbor's elbow, or
rather hat room. The new hats are re-
markably like the new women. Their
demands for expansion are enforced re-
CARELESS Of their neighbor's feelings. The
hat Is a sad proof of total disregard for
others which is invading even Paris, the
stronghold Of old-fashioned politeness.

CHRISTENING GIFTS
FOR THE BABY

What is the child to have for his
christening present? asks the godfather
in prospect. The godmother, on the
other hand, has far more ideas upon the
subject than she can possibly carry out,
and one of her happy thoughts for the
little darling's future is an ornament.
The only drawback to the presentati ton
Of a pendant or a necklet is that some
patterns are dated. but there are several
that never go out of fashion, and it Is
among these that the wise godmother
makes her choice.
She gives the child an old-fashioned
pendant, q lump Of carved jade or coral
necklace.

about to set up house when he arrives at

designed for spring.
It is suitable for taffeta or serge or, as
for that, any OF the prescribed materials.
The skirt is plain, merely being turned

single row Of machine stitching. Tine

length OF the same satin formed into a.
square loop that rises above it just where
the blouse fastens at the side, and which

in the dress.
Costumes Of this type represent one of
the most interesting phases of spring
fashions this year. They are delightfully."-
simple in their general outline, yet. upon
close inspection, reveal many odd details,
each of which is quite perfect in itself,
and, whatever their material or however
intricately they are designed. there is al
ways an appearance about them that be-
trays the fact that the tailor's art has
been incorporated with that of the dress
makers.
Originality finds plenty of opportunity
for expression in these street frocks, but
thus far, at any rate, the liberty allowed
does not seem inclined to lead to disas-
trous consequences, there are indica-
tons that 1t may happen in connection
with indoor gowns. Still. it never can be
prophesied authoritatively either which
way fashion is going suddenly to turn, or

Fashions in Footgear.

Just at this moment everything is un-

fashions In boots and shoes seem to be
decided upon.
IN shape, the comparatively short vamp
and the rounded toe will be preferred to
the long and exaggerated toe. The heel

Louis or the Cuban, and fashion will
at the same time favor the former rather
than the latter style. At present 1t Is ex-
pectsd that the low shoe will be worn in
preference to all others during the early
spring days, and this, of course, means
that fine silk and embroidered stockings
will be in vogue
The suggestion that high boots will be
worn In summer Is made quite seriously,
but this can apply only to white, for
black or brown leather boots are much
too hot and uncomfortable to be really
tolerated for summer wear. In any case.

For want OF a better name the shoe
