Colored hats of braid, with rolling
brim made on wire frames and
trimmed with changeable taffeta, are
used for darker hats. Immense bows
of ribbon, with standing loops, form
the trims. Bordered and fancy rib
bons are used for these big ribbon
decorations and loops are wired to
keep them in the outstanding posi-
tons.
Although but one trimming material
is used, or at most two, on this class
of millinery-ampl quantities are nee
essary of this single material. Bows
are very large, sweeping like wings,
from the body of the hat. But some
small fancy feather ornaments are ef-
fectively used on small shapes. They
are vivid in coloring as rule, with
cerise and primrose the favorites and
the strongest of bright greens next
1t is already settled that black and
white will have great vogue in the
coming midsummer.

make some of the smartest of stiff

WUST to look at the new shapes in
tailored hats transports ones to
midsummer, to visions OF
AZ beaches and mountains, to vaca-
w. tione time and outings. The
shape is the thing in these hats,
with trimming of the simplest charac-
ter. Shapes have been carefully con-
sidered and are so well balanced and
beautiful that trimmings are mere ac-
vcessories used to accentuate it's lines,
to repeat or reflect it's expression or to
accentuate its peculiarities.
These hats must be properly poised
on the head and the trimming placed
to suit the face of the wearer. But 1t
must serve a purpose on the hat and
not interfere with its hues or contra
dict them.
Two models in white and black are
shown here trimmed with white wings
and ribbon. The large round shape is
faced with black velvet The black
milans and hemps trimmed with white
are very chic.

Skinner STORIES

Los Angeles Herald, May Il: For
the first time in his life Sunny Jim"
McCandless lost his smile yesterday.
The Aloha Honolulu float, upon which
he had spent great deal of money
personally, broke down twice beneath
the weight of its flowers and Hawaiian
beauties and had to be taken out Of
the line of march with McC&ndless on
it and a score of other Alona Shriners.
All went we'll with the float until the
parade had fairly gotten under way.
Then it refused to move. The Aloha
patrol and the Princess Wilhelmina
lost their place in the line of march,
but the float was hastily repaired and
started under way. The grandstand
passed, the float again went on the
strike and this time was pushed out
of the line of march.
Thus hundred of thousands of spec
tators along parts of the line of march
who were keyed up to expectancy to
see what the Hawaians had in store
for them were disappointed and many
in the crowd missed a sight of the
famous kahili, the insignia of Hawai-
ian royalty, which had never been
taken from the islands
81 felt especially bad about it," said
Mr.. McCandless today, because l had
secured a special permit from the Ha.
waiian mobiles to bring the kahili here
Like the Roman purple, it was a mark
of the old Hawaiian royalty and never
was permitted to be taken from the
islands"
Not only did the crowds miss the
sight of the kahili, but Mrs. Rose Estes
and a bevy of Hawaiian beauties were
aboard the float in island costumes and
were thus left out of most Of the
parade by the collapse of their float

Prosper and Klihitat we're mixed up
in the affair. No one was injured but
1t was only luck that prevented a

two vessels were on shore on Wednes-
day night and, sailor like, they had a
good time" Booze galore was mopped
up, and the tars were like long lost
brothers for while However, the
fighting stage soon came along, and
it is alleged that the first ma'a of the
Prosper had a rough and tumble with
the second officer of the other vessel.
The result appears to have been a de-
cisive victory for the Klititat man. At
any rate the face of the Prosper's
mate wGs badly damaged.
A police officer, who happened along,
is said to have overheard the first
mate say that he would fill the other
man with holes. A fervent desire was
also said to have been expressed for

The police officer told the men to
go aboard their ships and to stop fight

then thought to be well.

PROJECTING SIGNS.

Whether the merchants of the city

nit the enforcement of the law with
reference to projecting signs over the
sidewalks, is a question that came up

ago making l. an offense to maintain
any such sign, but it was ignored by
some OF the more influential firms, and
soon became a dead letter, Less i'm

neighbors example until now all the

him.
Prior to this she had tried other
horses, but each had displayed a placid
disposition not to the liking of the

Park from the Landershim Hotel to
try out Ralph.
The Princess will ride in her stock

The Hawaiian leaped to the back of
the horse like an acrobat. A moment
before she had been luxurlousIy sitting
back in the Hudson SO, which has been
at her disposal here. The metamor.
phosis was startling.
