another model Of blue serge and

is Of black charmeuse and Chantilly

of the back panel. This is Of black,

Of summer evening frocks. Many of

but each one has a distinctive color

The one at the left, intended for
somewhat formal wear, is of an un-
usual shade Of blue green silk. It
consists of a straight skirt and long
wasted bodice. The color contrast
is obtained through four tabs OF
panels Of silver lace, two short ones
in the front and two long ones form
ing a double train at the back. The
front panels hang about three inches
below the bottom Of the dress.

small nat, and at hrSt II
is always q question as to which
will meet with the greatest amount
Of enthusiasm. Although this spring
the Parisienne appears to favor
the large hat, the smaller shapes
are still best liked by the Ameri-
can woman, who favors partic-
ularly the Moroccan turban-a
draped affair Of silk with hanging
trimming ct ono side.
Dangling side trimmings are
among the most notable features of
spring millinery. The hanging trim
ming is not to be ousted from the
realm Of the nailliner, possibly be-
cause we have como to realize its
becomingness. Feathers, ribbons
and flowers droop gracefully from
the side Of almost every smart hat.
Another form OF trimming which
remains is the veil. It may barely
cover the eyes or may hang to the
knees, or it may be draped about
the neck in scarf effect. Black and
brown Chantilly laces are favored
for the darker hats, while those Of
lighter colors carry veil Of the
same shade The Spanish influence
is felt in a gray turhan Of silk and
straw which has q veil Of self-color
draped across tho front, covering
the eyes and hanging low over one
shoulder.
Small Hats With
Ribbon Trimmings
CREPE DE CHINE, so much used
for dresses designed by the lead
ing couturlers, is no less popular in
hats. No doubt it will be the lead
ing fabric this season. for it has,
even at this early date, established
itself in the smartest millinery
turned out by the leading modistes.
In addition to crepe de chine are
cir6 and shoe satin, as we'll as the
usual dress silks. These materials
are occasionally draped over very
soft frames, while at other times M
frames are used. Steel nail heads
are favorite trimming on hats of
this sort, especially those Of black,
and very often an off-the-face shape
has its entire brim covered with
them.
,-z-sysy
Ribbons play an important part,
not only as the principal fabric for
entire hats but as trimming, and
one sees every sort, ranging from
the wide and expensive novelties to
others SO narrow that one would as
sociate them with the boudoir rather
| than the art of the nilliner.
One Of our foremost American
modistes has designed q small cloche
with soft crown of black satin and
q brim Of pink straw. On the wide
side Of the brim she places an orna-
ment composed entirely of loops of
: narrow satin ribbons in several
! shades Of pink.

recently imported, has conical
crown made Of two strips Of black
rnoire ribbon sewn together across
the top, and an upturned brim coy
cred with pink roses. At the right
side there is perky bow of the rib
bon, the ends Of which go through a
slash in the brim and hang over the
wearer's shoulder.
This is truly a season for colors.
Radiant reds are prominent, while
close behind in popular favor are
the new shades Of brown, ranging
from amber down through the deep
er shades, which have amusing
names, such as honeydew and chow.
Honeydew is slightly lighter and
more yellow than amber, while chow
takes its name from the color of the
, little Chow dogs fur, and is really a
. handsome shade.
