THE INCOMING OF FLOWERS
 THE NEW MILLINERY.


 Flowers were never more judiciot - ly used or more prominently featuf I than at the present, no abatement Bf their use on the other side being nb-- ticeable. By this is not meant the d. soletes heavy looking all flower hats as they might be termed. but the boh- quets, wreaths and cockadeg of fosN- CTS showing wonderful conrbina tfd i8 of cOlor1ngs. One of the many srn n4r-t uses to which flowers may be put 8f ai outlining the brin edge of the lard r models with. a wreath of tiny rosb- buds or a cockade of white satin rosf5 and green foliage showing one Amef- jean beauty rose.
 Other smart arrangements sh6V small satin apples surrounded by tidy forget-me-nots, forming cabochot.s which are more than useful in the de- velopnent of the new spring hats.
 Combinations of different flowers both large and small are too numer- ous to mention. but it Is sufficient to say that ideas suggest themseIves when one sees the wide assortment that the market affords at the pres ent time. Along this same line is a clever hat, scarf and paTasol by Su- zanne de L. Barault, showing the use Of bouquets of nattier blue and light green roses that is most charming. These flowers are used on the scarf. which is to be draped so as to alloy or one bouquet being placeQ on the shoulder and the other at the corsage- The top of the parasol shows these same flowers, as does the hat, where a single bouquet placed directly in the front on the brim gives a fascinat- ing touch of color.
 A RIOT OF COLOR IN THE NEW
 MILLINERY.
 This a season of rfotous colors. rath- CT more in the trimmings than In the hats themselves, as a chocolate brown. black, moteur or hunters green shows trimmings of the brighter shades of blue, red, Coque do Roche and prim- rose. The yellow shades which are numerous, include Na,sturtium ann Der, chandron and sulphur, the last named being prominently featured and is vastly attractive. Along this same line are the brass colorings that combine particularly well with the new shade of seal and tobacco brown, prime favorites for tailored use. Tur- quoise 7bIue-caI1ed by many new names-is qJTite the discussion of the moment, and is strikingly vivid when combined with black. A small black hat entirely covered with ostrich in this shade is featured by a leading importer and is quite attractive. Crepe and antique satin are materials much in vogue for facings and crowns, en- tire hats formed of these fabrics not
 
 certain sections of the country.
