many OF them are substantially priced,
the conclusion is that somebody who
dresses very well is interested in these
trifes OF costume.
Brilliant color combinations are
noted in the new jewelry. as well as
single color effects. If you have a
black or gray frock it is much smarter
to wear with it some gorgeously coll
ored ornament than the chaste cres-
cent of diamonds you received as a
bridal gift-even IL the diamo onds are
worth fifty times as much as the bit Of
costume jewelry. And just now an
armlet of jade is a deal more fashion
able than the handsomest bracelet Of
platinum and diamonds you could buy.
Jade has been the rage through the
spring months and the price of real
jade has been pretty high. An armlet
is worth several hundred dollars. OF
course there are many limitations Of
genuine jade and nobody cares bit

I'm AYTIME brings the summer
millinery BY this time every
II 81 body has finished with spring
q q L millinery and the smart little
turban purchased back in February or
early March has begun to pail. The
outlook is forward, ever forward, in
millinery and no mode ever satisfies
for long. One used to buy several hats
az once-in the old days when styles
endured pretty well through sea-
son-but now the alert woman buys
only hat, or maybe two hats, at a
time and gets new hats when the ever
pressing onward styles from Paris de-
mand a change.
Flowers Yield To Feathers
The Maytime hats are trimmed
with posies-some of them. but the
really stunning hat now is decked
with feathers or with lace and beads.
Women always welcome flowers ear
lest in the season when the velvet
and fur OF winter have become passe
and spring leaps over the horizon.
Then by the time nature decks herself
out In bloom, feminine fancy yearns
for something else and feathers come
into their own again. Feathers play
a large part in the summer millinery
and they are put very formally on
small hats, and with extreme care
lessness--so 1t looks-on big hats.
But the carelessness is really the con-
summation of art and always the con-
sideration of line is a feature of these
apparently careless feather effects.
Two beautiful feather r-trimmed mod
els are pictured. At first glance the
hats look much alike, but there is
really quite a difference between
fhem-especially in color. The hat
worn with light blouse is a symph-
ony in gray. By the way gray hats

ment shocked 1880 ladies horribly; but
forty years later Oscar Wlldes idea

are all but annihilated and petticoats
are all but gone. The 1920 corset is n

feather-trimmed models. but they are
equally correct for formal wear and
will doubtless be worn even with light
summer frocks, so smart they are
and so becoming to certain types Of
faces. One Of these dashing little tur-
bans is pictured. The wired frill Of
lace standing up from the crown and
the dangling bead ornaments at either
side are salient features OF the So
called Egyptian turban. There is
barbaric suggestion about the long,
dangling bead ornaments which have
the effect of massive earrings. and
these hats become plain women be-
cause of the smartness and individu-
ality of the style-as well as they be-
come pretty women. The turban pic
tured is all black and is made of plain
satin and brocaded black silk. with
wired black lace standing up at front
and sides, a black silk cord around
the top of the crown. and large dan
glers of jet beads at either side. There
is fancy also for black and gold bro
cade turbans with black lace and jet,
and for bright green turbans with Jet
danglers. There arc also pure white
turbans with white lace and pearl
beads, and some stunning models are
made of deep blue silk with blue beads
and black lace.
Long Plumcs On Small Hats
Another type of feather hat is pic
tured in the rather small model Of
glossy black Milan with a long un-
curled ostrich plume trailing back
ward over the crown Nothing but
the long feather on this hat. but the
style is distinctly dashlng. The feather
in this instance is jade colored and
the hat looks well with a black frock.
A pale bisque plume would be very
stunning instead of the jade tinted
one, or feather in one of the new
yellow shades.
The distinction of this hat lies in the
handsome quality of the straw shape
and the gorgeous feather. It Is a
model that could not be reproduced in
cheap materials but given the hat and
the feather almost any woman could
trim such hat for herself.
Flowers Applied Flatly
Typical hats Of summer time are the
big picture shapes trimmed with flow
ers and ribbon. In one of these hats
the single streamer is the principal
feature. II Is at least two yards long
this streamer, and is finished al the
end with a loop, One may slip this
loop over the hand or the streamer
can fall straight down the back OF the
costume; or 1t may be traled I'm va
rious graceful ways as one sits or
stands. The loop is for use on a windy
day-the only way that streamer will
not look well is standing straight out
behind in strong breeze!
Notice how fat this hat is on top. The
low-rounded crown fits snugly down
over the head and merges into the line
made by the closely arranged trimming.
There is a bandeau underneath and on
the left side, where the brim tilts up.
q cluster of flowers and leaves nestles
against the hair. Like most OF the
picture hats Of the season this one has
good deal Of trimming under the
brim; that is, the brim facing is an
