e~nviously. ITS much more interesting
to be a CONNIE than to spend your days

"Oh, don't now about that" replied
the CONNIE; now thai 1 am in this
radiator, I can't seem to get out; I'm
AFRAID I'll have to stay here all my daysl

about to make some consoling reply when
the CONNIE clanked again, this time loud

could say a word the chlldren's father
came into the room. IL don't see what

said (what a pity 1t is that grown folk

CONNIE foated to another home (nobodv
knows where) and the clown was left
alone with his thoughts.

Millinery Opening at Gin
bel Brothers Today

The millinery opening at Gimbel Broth
ers today is very attractive. The popular
shade of tete-de-negre, that lovely shade
OF brown, and the shade of dark blue
known as corbeau, while the two shades
of gray known as seagull and dove are
very much to the front.
Small hats are popular. but as the sea-
son advances the testimony toward large
hats will develop. Leghorn will be very
popular in May and June, and the hats
fashioned OF Belgian split or liserie will be
much in demand.
The military note Is in evidence every
where, cocard ribbons, t~ricorne shapes
and Belgian colors being seen on all
sides.
One very smart hat was four-cornered
in hemp braid and trimmed with little
gllded berries.
There is a strong tendency toward the
transparent hat, Georgette crepe n
French batlste being popular. Bead mo-
tlfs and a tendency towards the Egyptian
Is seen.
Odd shapes are in demand, the tier or
triple brim being much liked. One hat
of this sort was of barnyard straw. In
tete-de-negre, the three tiers being of
ruched net.
The new dove-gray shade is quite differ
ent from battleship gray. One lovely
model has an ornament shaped like a Vic
toria cross.
French models are In abundance in Gim-
bells. The Caroline RebouX hat Is always
exquisite, and those of Madame Georgette
and Lewis are much in evidence. One
Evelyn Varon model was trimmed entirely
with black ribbon, the simple lines of the
ribbon giving great distinction to the
whole. Shepherdess hats OF the Louis
XIV period are very beautiful and will
be very popular later in the season.

Blum's Opening

"American-made hats at reasonable
prices is a big feature of the new depart
ment which is opened for the first time
at Blum's today. a sort of half floor,
between the first and second, is attract
lively fitted up with tables, booths and
mirrors, where milady may try on as
many hats as she chooses. The most
striking example of how reasonable these
hats are in price was seen when a lady
who came in to buy a first spring hat,
walked off with two ordered and her eye
on another!
The most distinctive model of the dis
play is made of kid, in white and bronze.
The shape is a plain sailor, with a tiny
buckle on the side. The brim is faced
with straw underneath. For the tailor
made girl this is stunning.
Another American style was made of
white horsehair. 1t had a crown and
streamers of heavy silk, of a very new
weave, n the transparent brim was
wired.
Tricornes of Belgian split straw supplied
the inevitable military touch, n ribbon
fancies replaced the popular feather
styles.

PAGE & SHAW OPENING

One OF the largest openings held this

Millinery Opening at Lit
Brothers Today

The millinery opening at Lit Brothers
store, Market street, takes place today
and many lovely hats are on view.
Battleshlp gray and old rose are the
two predominating %colors, and next to
them in order of popularity com the
French colors-pink and blue and pastel
shades.
Extremely large hats will be most fash
ionable this season, and the picture hats
are the newest thing.
There are quite a few pretty black tur-
bans, and the poque shape Is exceedingly
popular. Imported hats are in the mi
nority.
The split braid of straw is popular and
also liserie. One pretty model of milan
was chiffon covered. while another In
navy blue, a sailor shape, had a round
crown, the brim being covered with mus
tard-colored chiffon and a navy blue rib
bon circling the crown and ending with
little tabs at the back.
Quilts are very popular, as are also
flowers and soft bows, but very few
plumed hats are to be seen.
One very pretty shell-pink hat was of
horsehair, in poque shape. Stiff wings
are in demand.
Little hats are severe In line and trim
ming, but the big hats have a soft effect.
One lovely hat was in poque shape
trimmed with rosebuds and blackberries.
Another exquisite model was in Dolly
Vardon shape, of leghorn, with a large
roll brlm. 1t had a chiffon crown in that
lovely shade known as French blue, with
blue streamers and one large pink rose in
front of the crown.
