Mary, Mary, How Do
Your Flowers Grow?

OLD-FASHlONED garden flowers
have not been neglected by search
ing modistes. 1t is only at the gate
of the vegetable garden that they
have halted in their quest At one
Fifth Avenue establishment | saw a
hat that might have been mistaken for
basket of gNstening red currants-
currants fresh from the garden and
still moist with dew. The whole hat
fairly Sparkled with them.
Coquettish eye wells, some of them
merely covering the orbs, while others
reach to the tip of the nose. appear
on many of the new hats. Maria Guv
is one who frequently uses these alb
breviatcd wells. Since so many Of her
hints are made of lace. these falls are
lifting appondagos to them. The hat
sketched to show this type is covered
with lace wired to give an outstand-
ing effect Mt the sides, and the veil
is Chantilly lace

Simple, but Fresh
AS Spring Itself

TUST a simple little affair but so
- refreshing after the many elabo-
rate things is poke bonnet hat from
Jeanne Lanvin. The top of the hat
is white Georgette dotted all over
with yellow centred field daisies. The
underbrim is faced with grass-green
taffeta. Encircling the crown is woodsy
brown velvet ribbon--a very narrow
ribbon which is not even tied in the
back but just caught together by one
of the flowers and allowed to fall in
long ends. 1t is hat of country in
spiration embodying green fields abloom
with daisies and brown tree trunks
in the distance.
Plated straw that looks like bright
scarlet tissue paper is used by Lucie
Hamar to make hat that rolls off the
face revealing an underbrim encircled
with small scarlet and black wings.

A Variety of Gowns
TO Be Worn Afternoons

A FTER going to several openings
| have had these gowns sketched
for you. They are to be worn in the
afternoon. Any one of them would
do to wear TO an afternoon church
wedding. Again the short sleeve Of
the French is emphasized Whether
the fabric of the gown is of satin. serge
or crepe, the sleeve is short
The gowns in the group at the bot
tom of the page are, from left to
rlght-a very fine navy blue serge
frock from Jenny. The serge is COM
bined with tan crepe de chine. The
short sleeves are of chiffon There
are tan crepe de chine inserts in the
side of the dress and a sash Of the
tan crepe De chine. The sash ends
are embroidered in blue silk and edged
with blue fringe. The serge, where
1T IS slashed at the sides to insert
the crepe de chine, is outlined with
the fringe and there is a fold of the
of the skirt On this model are some
very interesting buttons. These are
very large, black bone buttons with
round inserts OF pearl.
The second gown, too, is Jenny
model. The frock itself is of navy
blue Paulette satin with the entire
front in apron effect Of beige colored
crepe. Set into the skirt is deep
band of fibre silk fringe insertion
The round neck is outlined with the
fibre silk in loose stitch
From Doucet OF Paris, IL third
frock comes. 1t is of crepe enna

der stems left standing after the petals
of the roses have fallen.
So laden with ostrich was another
Lewis model that it looked like a
fluffy, feathery Tam-o'- '-Shanter. The
tobacco-brown straw of its founda-
tion was invisible. This hat is shown
at the upper left of the page. I have
had it sketched for you showing the
side that turned off the face, so that
you may see the shape of the hat.
1t is of an unusual form. The top
of the hat is perfectly fiat, like the
cap worn by the famous "Blue Devils"
of France. The ostrich plume, which
is of smoke color, is laid on circular,
following the lines of the crown. 1t
ends in n fluttery pompon at the
side. When the pretty mannequin
wearing this hat moved her carefully
coitfed head, the effect of tho softly
s%ayng feathers reminded mo Of the
languorous movements of the huge
feather fan that dusky, barefoot pages
welded for the comfort of Egyptian
beauties in tho far Off days Of Cleo
patra.

Contradictions: Or
A Study in Hats

II is smart to be quite contradic-
tory about the stuff from which
hats are composed. Lewis takes vel
vet, a material we have always as
sociated with wintry weather, and with
1T combines a profusion of flowers in
varied beautiful colors. Other favor
ties of the Lewis salon are large straw
hats surmounted with Ostrich and
sometimes jet.
One hat of this group contrasted
with the more important ones by it's
very simplicity. 1t was Just a little
round black straw affair. So narrow
was the soft rolling brim that it gave
me appearance of straw band en-
eIrcling the forehead. Most PLEASING
were the things done to the ton If
the hat by using dozens of wards Of
narrow Natter blue faille ribbon. II
was fashioned into the form of a real
mower garden of tiny roses. Spring

snoboed spikes made of the r;bbon

Japan Sends Us
Some Bridal Robes

WIllEN the cherry blossoms bloom in
old Japan there are weddings. with
the little dark haired brides arrayed
in richly embroidered robes. Two Of
these Japanese bridal robes have Just
arrived in New York and are at Van
tines. One is Of heavy satin crepe,
Just the color of the heart Of a pink
rose. and it is embroidered all over
with cherry blossoms, shading from
pale pink to deep glowing rose. 1t
is color inspiration. The other robe
is of the same material, old blue in
color, and embroidered with wistaris--
that pinkish lavender wistaria that you
just want TO stop and enjoy when you
see it hanging in great clusters over old
wooden trellises in the early spring.
On the bottom Of the gown and the
sleeves is border Of purple iris.
Are you wondering where you can
find some really lovely Easter fsyors'
Best & Co. have them. They are
up in the toy department. and this is
what they are like: Glorified flower
pots-just little ones painted pale pink
or lemon yellow with little buttercups
and daisies. One was French blue with
q scarlet decoration. Another was yf'
low and black. On the Saturday b.
fore Easter, or perhaps just few days
earlier, they will be on sale and they
are going to have crocuses in them
very lovely golden yellow and Lavender
ones to blend with the colors of the
little pots.

A Revolution in Hats
~ UEER little Kingdoms tucked away
here and there in Europe have

q UEEF little kingdoms tucked away
here and there in Europe have
not acquired the sole right to
revolution! While gentlewomen do not
like upheavals with relation to national
boundary lines, it is a different thing
when the revolt pertains to headgear.
revolution without bloodshed has
taken place in millinery circles!
Hats had reached the point where
they we're drab and uninteresting. Now
a fresh impetus and new interest
have been given to miyafery because
of the changes that have taken place.
Hats that were quite naked have
taken unto themselves all sorts and
kinds of trimmings. This is the first
season since the starting of the great
war that much decoration has been
used. Heretofore simple hats, often
times without any other ornamental
tion than buckle, cabochon or, per-
haps, useful hatpin as the only adorn-
ment, were worn.
The severity of the plain hat is a
thing of the past! This change is
worth rejoicing over because the mo-
noteny of our millinery was beginning
to pail. We had practically reached the
point where we began to look upon our
hats merely az head coverings rather
than things of beauty.
There is no material which Paris
milinors have hcsitatod to lay their
hands upon, and they have used these
materials with an abandon that makes
one wonder where it will end. Mil
liners arc absolutely revelling in rib
bons, and the designers of ribbons
are even more inventive than milliners
themselves in creating beautiful things
to meet the unprecedented demand,
In contrast to the all-straw hat, there
are hats of all sorts of fabrics, such
as satins, crepes, ribbons, chiffons and
laces. These fabrics are used alone
to make both the hat and the trim
ming and they also are combined with
straw.
From a psychological viewpoint the
stimulating effect of a colorful and
becoming hat is not to be underes-
timated; so, taking all things into ac-
count, pretty hats are well worth the
present high prices asked for them

as arc large number of original
French models. This is just one more
straw to prove that designers of
clothes invite us to wear winter col
ors as well as wintry materials to
herald the arrival OF sultry summer
To be entirely smart next winter, no
doubt, we shall clothe ourselves in
sheer organdics and Aimsy muslins.
This Directoirc hat OF brown is real

bonncts of the early nineteenth cen

Shops and Things

AVE you seen the new barber
Il a shop for children at Lord &
Taylor's? 1t is divided into
two sections, with a fountain between
and the decorations are most attrac-
tive. Nice, kind BARRIERS have their
pockets filled with toys, so amusing
that even the naughtiest child Just
loves TO sit in the BARRIERS chair and
submit to having his curls trimmed.
Youngsters who have been there are
always teasing their mothers and
nurses to take them back to Lord (
Tayiol's.
Down in the sports department is
new walking costume for the country,
consisting of short tan leather coat
lined with green and red plaid sweater
silk. The short killed skirt is of the
same silk. And in the millinery de-
partment you will find sports hat in
the new color, Ceur de France red, to
go with it.

treatments. Some of it is curled. some
natural, while others are glycerined.
Not content with all this, dotted over
the crown of the hat are little tufts
of stripped ostrich. These tufts re-
semble bits of thstledown, or wild
clematis, after the wind has blown
away the petals.

This hat should be worn in the midst
of the budding green foliage of the
springtime. When the dust of sultry
summer arrives, red is a color to cast
aside.

We have come to you with
the firm conviction that you
will see the wisdom of our
course and with the hope that
you, as trustees of the county's
funds, will place at least Il
small portion of them where
they will be of untold benefit to
