Probably the most popular and be-

NJ YORK, February 15.-Straw
h,.-, have been having gala time
since the first bit of cold weather
started in. This is the way in which
the whirligig of fashion turns. We
buy furs in August and straw hats in
January. We select our heavy cloth
suits during the heat of September and
spend our days at lingerie sales when
the thermometer is making it's first
zero.
In ways that are dark and tricks tina t
are vain. commerce, like the Chinese,
is peculiar. AS long as the public APP
proves. Endorses and lives up to what
is required of it in the way of buying.
then why should the calendar play any
part in the selection of sales?
When the first winter hats came in
last September we were inundated
with black. All the first postillion
shapes were in black silk beaver. with
here and there gray Puritan affair
to offset the general scheme. BY the
same token, We expected an inunda-
ton of black straw hats when Janu-
AIRY opened up the first food of spring
Rumor and expectation failed in
this respect, however, and France and
America combined in rushing a COL
orful tide of straw over the face of
the country. No shade was too bril-
liant, evidently. in which to dip the
straw that made the hat-which is
interesting fact anent the all
legged shortage of coloring matter in
the textile world. To judge from the
sweaters. evening gowns, skating
suits, stockings. muff1ers and now the
new straw hats. one would say that
there must have been enough aniline
dyes stored in this country to make
the planet over into Easter egg.

he could watch Mrs. Grouse go to bed
in order that when she had gone to sleep
he might. he ust might, steal up OH

one that promised burdensome TRIM
ming. If there is one thing in the
world of feminine apparel more diff
cult to adjust than any other. it is
the hat loaded with ornament. 1t took
us a quarter of a century to eliminate
from our minds the idea that a hat
should be the foundatio for an as
semblage of colors and fanciful mate
rails.
Sartorial preachers Numbered from
the pulpits against the sin; the high
err class of milliners argued in vain
while the American women continued
to buy shapes as the beginning of
their hats and then spent money and
ingenuity on running their outline with
feathers. quilts, ribbon, buckles. beads
and galloons.
Today we are clinging to the plain
hat as to a creed that has saved our
appearance. If we let go of this fun
damental fact of dressing. we will slip
back into an uglier epoch If Brum-
mel summarized the art of intelligent
expression into merely the glance of
an eye" then women should adopt as
the art of intelligent millinery merely
the glance of trimming. One touch
is sufficient. and this should not mar

Bits Of real lace, used as edging or

distinguish the new handkerchiefs.
The small glove handkerchiefs have a
monogram in delicate wreath or en-

tiniest val edging may be whipped on
the edge. but usually 1t is left plain.
Imported handkerchiefs have soldiers
