rived or will very shortly arrive in
Wilmington. Furthermore, it is pra-
dicted that it win be one of the
smartest hats in a season that boasts
more different styles and shapes than
there are sands in the sea.
As for the hustle pol5e-and that's
its real name, my dears-it is the
kind of hat that turns down in the
front and up in the back. Consequent
ly, it is the back that has most Of the
trimming. One made of black hemp
shown in one Of the shops has the
cavity over the hair filled in with
loops of ribbon, over which fall the
tips Of cluster of stiT coques. A
smart strap of ribbon runs across the
crown.
And, by the way, girls, the very
newest wrinkle in ribbons is the
patent leather" kind. It is MADE
with a very high gloss, almost as II It
had been treated with coat of shoe
J polish, and there are those who call
it "shoe polish ribbon" who ought
to know better. Anyhow. It goes
very we'll with the very decided shine
that is a characteristic OF many of
the spring hats, particularly those
made Of hemp and the fine Milan
! straw.
New Scoop Bonnet.
First cousin to the hustle poke is
the cunning little Kate Greenwav
scoop bonnet, which is almost an ex-
act copy of the hats worn by the
! girls of 1870. One darling little model
had the scoop part of IT faced with
soft cherry faille A cluster of Iilacs
and rosebuds is lightly tackled to the
! crown on the left, across which runs
a band of violet ribbon. Ribbons of
the same shade hang from the back
and are tied in a pretty soft bow
under the wearer's hair.
Then there arc the tilted hats. and
rakishly tilted they are. too, with big
towering bandeaux on the left and "a
slope like a toboggan slide on the
right. or course, the wearer will have
TO get along without the use of her
right eye, which, for the time being.
Is as completely eclipsed as if she
wore binders, a trfling matter, how
ever. compared to the satisfaction OF
wearing one of the smartest hats Of
the season.
Bandcaux are coming back again.
They are shown on the tilted hats on
the side. while many of the other new
shapes have them IN the back or side
back. 4 stunning hat has the bandeau
built mp of dozens Of pink rosebuds,
forming perfect halo for the pretty
girl who tried it on. To hcighten the

Some Like CLANS.
In between these ats are those origi-
mated by Marie Edmee, whose nearest
ccmtcrpart in nature is the humble

hemp. and are trimmed with bands of

COIOrs Are Vivid.
OF the turban, It may be said that
it is always with us, but this year
the powers that be have brought Out
several new variations that are de-
cidedly stunning. One of these is th'
