Although Easter comes early this
year midsummer millinery has been
fully launched, as the group Of lovely
hats shown above will indicate. Mil
liners must anticipate the needs of
their patrons long before they are
actually pressing. so that spring styles
make their advent while the snow
flies and those for summer arrive with
the early Spring. II Is II wise woman
,who makes her choice early-for the
first hats are really the best hats. The
summer outfit In hendwear might as
well be bought at the beginning of the
season as later.
An outfit In hats will include n tai
lOred model for street wear, Il sport
hat and dress hat, anyway, and may
be supplemented with special hat
for motoring. The tailored hat Is re-
lied upon for early wear and is al.
ways In the vanguard Of new season
millinery.
Many Of the styles for midsummer
are very wide brimmed and many Of
them are Of lacy materials. Swiss
hair braid, malines, chiffon and lace
in combination with straw braid, or
worked up without them, make up
these airy models. Workmanship on
them Is difficult and exquisite and
women who demand the best In mil
linery art must be willing to pny for
the patient labor required to produce
1t. Since this is all done by sister
women. the high price of hlgh.class
millinery will not be begrudged.

One Of the new spring suits, with
many novel features in its construc-
ton to make 1t interesting, Is shown
in the accompanying picture. 1t is
trim looking and graceful, to start
with, and these commendable charNc-
terlstlcs are brought about by the
cleverest sort of management in the
cutting. II seems for the past three
years that tnilors have studied the de-
sired silhouette. then bent their ener-
giles on accomplishing 1t, each season,
by original methods of cutting.

are cut away under the arms in u

tucks, soutache braid, In white, Is
stitched In double row, with beauti-
full exactness. 1t appears on the back
panel, where two large bone buttons,
one at each side, form an additional
decorative feature.
The coat has plain coat sleeves with
turned back cuffs and large collar
of white satin trimmed with braid. 1t
fastens with bone buttons at the front.
In the skirt the side panels In the
coat are repeated and they are finish
ed with tucks headed with braid In
the same manner. There are wide In
vcrtcd platts at the back and front
and the skirt Is just long enough to
fall an inch below the boot tops.
Women have not taken kindly to the
heightened skirt, especially in suits,
and the skirt pictured may be accept
ed as quite long enough.

call out these employees to win the strike.
Another reason for the fact is said
to be that the basic S-hour movement
applies only to men in the freight and
yard service. In the ultimatum which
will be handed to the railroad officials
is a clause for the protection of passen-
ger service employees who work more
than eight hours Their present mileage
contracts also are protected.
The general and local brotherhood
chairmcn of the Pennsylvania will meet
Wednesday. They may be called out
after the southeastern group.
Brotherhood officials of the Chicago
switching districts and the railroads
which are included in the first group will
meet Friday in Chicago. More than 2,O0G
are expected as the firemen alone on the
Rock Island have more than 105 local and
general chairmen.
Participants in the Cleveland meeting
of general and local chairmen held Sat
urday said today that any one who would
have opposed a strike to gain their de-
mands would have been thrown out OF
the hall.
So far as the AdamsoQ law is con-
cerned. the brotherhood leaders say
they do not care what becomes of 1t.
Its alleged vagueness and the general
disposition to believe it will be de-
clared unconstitutional is said to have
lessened the interest of the railroad
employees in its provisions.
The prevailing belief also that there
will not be a decision by the Supreme
Court for months on the law is said to
be one of the important influences for
presenting the ultima tum on the rail-
roads at once.
