NEW YORK, March 3-A clever wO-
man used the same tactics in the choOs-
ing IF a bonnet as she does in the chOOs-
inT Of a husband.
She selects one that viii wear well,
81 well. stand the strain Of foul or
fair weather one OF which she will not
tine easily. one that is kind to her from
every angle and, above all, one that
looks as II It belonged to her. She
doesn't choose the first one that hap
pens to please her eye without trying
out it's qualifications nor does she try
cut everything that is set before her and
end in utter exhaustion by taking any
old thing. As she always looks her best
before her prospective life partner, so
should she see that she is at her best
before sitting down to the milliner's
mirror.
should Milady follow the above rules
when selecting her spring bonnet,
though heavy lies the head that wears
the-erown, hers will balance~ with the
ease OF the down Of an aged dandeliOn.
The spring hats Of 1922 can be large,
small, broad, tall, turned-up. dropping,
himsy. feathery, fiat or what not. So
IL is difficult to make any set rules for
! one to follow on them. Materials and
trimmings, however, have many new
this spring from those of previous sea-
sons. For the tailored hats there are
the caIsOmined ostrich. lacquered quilts
with painted designs in batik. Guills of
ribbon and chenille This quill trim
ming is usually placed on the back brim
Of the medium shaped hats, which in
variably turn up bit at the back. When
ostrich is used other than in quill form 1t
is long fued and worn as a sweeping
band about the crown OF the large dressy
hat.
Birds-shades Of the Audubon Society
are the latest fad used in Paris as a
trimming and will be very popular here
in America. We will not, however, use
the real. stuffed bird, for our birds are
TO be made OF pasted feathers and with
paper bills. real good bird is worth
several paper bills II one is to believe
the whOlesalemen. Parrots and parrakeets
are the birds most in demand, though
few drab-looking sparrows are shown.
Chenille birds embroidered on straw are
also very effective.
The most popular flowers shown this
season are blue bells, morning glories
hyacinths, hydrangias, thistles and IN
fact anything with a blue or lavender
tone in II. Corn colors. range next in
the line Of popularity Pond lilies, mag.
nOlias and nasturtiums are among the
prettiest flowers in this tone. Lacquered
flowers and leaves, are favored for the
cluster trimming.
RibbOns-when one mentions ribbons
it is necessary to speak of the Rubsn
Bagatelle at once. for it is the most
beautiful ribbon put on the market in
years. 1t has a highly lustered surface
Which looks very much like patent
leather, but has q sOftness to 1t that
yields to any .draping. It comes II every
conceivable shade and width. Whole tur-
bans are draped Of It and the narrow
widths are used as a rosette trimming
One model Of this material is made In
the familiar turned-up style in navy blue
and is embroidered in jute. White plush
ribbon edged in cOlored gros-g grain adds
a new touch to the sport hat.
In parts OF the country where long
winterz- do not permit the early wear
