soon, but did find it at last-a low, tum-

two hundred yards or so off the road on

the road ascended through barren moor

There IS a choice this season In the
line of the silhouette. We may dis
Avow curves entirely and wear a coat
or dress that Is straight from neck to
hem, or go to the other extreme and
choose bodice or coat that is fitted
in TO the figure closely, or stop any
where between these. Half way be-
tween seems to be the happy medium
that Is most generally becoming. But
the pOsSessor of very good figure
may go even farther than the semitit-
ted coat with fine effect as is attested
by the coat suit which reflects this
place of the style as shown in the pic
ture above.
This braid and button trimmed suit
of serge sets snugly to the body above
the waist where the lines of the coat
flow out into rippies at the back and
sides, but are almost straight at the
front. Parallel rows of narrow silk
braid, stitched across the sides and
back of the coat, end in a row of small
bone buttons at each side. This is a
novel placing of braid which is char

full garnitures and applied in novel
ways. Ornaments, after a long, par
tial eclipse, have emerged and are
given a conspicuous place of honor in
the millinery armament.
This return to favor of millinery
trimmings comes as a surprise, for
hats have been so meagerly ornament
ed for two seasons, that we were about
TO pronounce the obsequies over those
lovely charlottesville flowers and
feathers and ribbons and laces and ev-
erything-that seemed to have Ian
guished to the point of death. There
is no telling what will come to pass
over night in the world of millinery
for here they are again, ready to form
a joyous Easter parade proclaiming
the eterpal feminine.
The three hats pictured are typical
styles. At the center is a wide-brim-
med model of leghorn braid with its
crown covered with crepe. Having
gone this far last year the crown
would consider nothing more expect
