All The Flowers OF Spring And
Summer

oAAllIiGE
Nature will have to look to her
laurels-that's sure-if the makers of
artificial flowers make equal progress
the next few years that they have in
the past few seasons. They are MAX
inR them of velvet, of silk, of a wide
variety of fabrics. and so skillfully
are they fashioned, and so perfectly
colored, that a window of artificial
plants and blossoms gives all the ef-
feet of a florists window, and one
realizes that they are far less perish
able thar natures own offering. Then,
too, the maker of artificial flowers Is
inventive, for one is quite sure that
many of the loveliest blossoms on the
fashionable hats have no equal Oh
rival in real blossoms.
One sees, not only the rare blooms,
but the humber flowers of the field

white and red. The morning glory
climbs to success; spring blossoms
the narcissus, tulips, jonquils, and the
shy arbutus-play their part: and
queen of them all-the rose, most
especially the red. red rose OF June.
It matters not the shape-poke, Off

flowers, and be the utmost that there
is in ornamentation. Flowers-or
fruits-droop from the brim; band or

broidery-permits so lavish a use of
color as flowers, fruit and foliage. A
single rose or two may make a hat;
a cluster may lift a simple poke from
mediocrity to sophistication; a wreath
may change an unassuming garden
hat into a thing of joyous daring. Such
a hat appears in the illustration--lts
shape the clever Neapolitan poke, its
color orchid, its flower trim morning
glories in the pink to purple shades.
Such a hat Is a triumph of simplicity
and subtle harmony-for its shape is
fattering and its color combination
artistic and becoming TO the type
| which wears the shades OF pink, Law
ender and purple well.
Ostrich Plumes Are In High Favor
Ostrich, pheasant, coque, vultu1
feathers-alI the graceful wings and
birds and plumes OF fashion are used
and greatest Of them all-the fluffy
! ostrich, that curls becomingly over
the brim or round the crown. Ostrich
and roses about the crown OF a
picture hat; plumes glaces and roses

novelty trim: an added brim Of hange

of wee rosebuds; duo-tone feathers
against a neutral background: one
sees them all The three pictured
hats-diferent, yet similar, have this
in common-the feather trim on all
three droops from the same side OF
the crown.
The hat OF silk, with landings OF
straw has a rolled brim in back to
give the stylish short effect, and in
front it droops slightly, to shade the
face. It Is almost a tailored shape

ribbons. Scatter flowers and feath-
ers-fashion stresses ribbons for hats
on which she would confer an air of
smartness.
One is always sure to find-in any
millinery display-certain fads and
fancies, and many of them are worthy
of attention. Such a fad Is seen / n
sportSwear. where frocks of quaint
prints have matching hats, bags and
sometimes a parasol. 1t is only nat
ural that hi vogue for printed fabrics
should have it's influence on our mil
linery, and it is more appropriate
that it be paramount in tailored and
sports hats. Embroideries and braid
ing are used to give the desired effect,
and these embroideries are done on
either straw or fabric, and somtimes
on silk. Not infrequently embroidery
is used with braiding.
Just as 1t Is quite impossible for
any but a true artist to paint a glow
ing sunset or the play Of light and
shadow on the hills, so it Is a task
for other than an artist in words to
describe the achievements of design
ers of spring millinery. They have
had at their command the finest and
most colorful products Of the looms
of the, world; the richest shades of
foreign dye-pots; the inspiration Of
bygone civilizations and historical
periods fraught with deep fashion In
terest. Added to all this they have
had the creative instinct to make the
most Of their materials, SO that we
are the gamers thereby. For little
girlhood; for youth; for dignifed
womanhood; they have produced
models that have been beautiful, fit
ting and sure Of acceptance. We have
but to enjoy the greatest creations of
the greatest artists in design that the
present day and age can boast.

what Is considered Understandable
at the Sporting Club. and Is seen each
morning on the Casino Terrace, when
the fashion parade is in full swing.
The two-piece suit is coming into

favorite material is wool tricot, with
wool jersey and crepe running close

Short Jackets Of fur in white or

Jackets of white angora wool tricot,
and the short cape wrap Is an ac-
knowledged favorite. Multiple TERED
capes are beginning to appear and
fashion wise folk are keeping In eye
on the short cape because of its
steadily increasing popularity as a
fashion detail.
Pleated skirts are worn with the
short Jackets, and they are fairly
short-say ten inches from the
ground. If any skirt is to be short.
it is perfectly natural that it should
be the sports skirt. When skirts are
plain, the jacket is likely to be plaided
or figured, but with skirts of novelty
weave the plain colored Jacket is
worn.

to white shoes with colored trim

the color note of the sports frock with
the trimming on the footwear. With
these shoes one may wear white
hosiery, or match the colored kid. An

~ that elusive something we call
charm and imprisoned 1t snugly
IN the millinery creations that
she is sponsoring at the present mo-
ment. Even the simplest, most
strictly tailored shapes have that in
defnable quality that transforms them
from ordinary to unusual, and dress
hats are subtly effective, ingenious,
original. And each and every type
OF hat Is almost unlimited in the
variety of its ornamentation, each
new day bringing a new note OF sim
pie dignity or distinctive charm.
Right now the attention of designers
is focused on the trimming possibili-
of flowers and soft, trailing feath-
ers, and they are being made the me-
dunn to harmonious perfection in the
up-to-the-minute models.
So widely varied are the models,
trimmings and color combinations
that a becoming hat Is assured. yet
the same variety may be the undoing
of the prospective purchaser, since It
creates a feeling of bewilderment.
But IL color. outline, and general
adaptability 10 the costume, with

the newest hat should not be a glori-
Gus success.
Color An Outstanding Characteristic
Over the possible shape of the
model chosen, the form and applica-

umphant, blended Into the lights
and shadows OF a fine painting, or
softened into the mellow tones Of rare
old fabrics, or family reminiscent of

millinery models are artists, as well
as originators. There Is a momentary

NN account of the inclement
weather, the opening of the
~ horse show OUT at Arlington
Park, to which everybody has
been looking forward with SO
much interest, has been post
poned until tomorrow afternoon
with the prayer that the weather
man will relent.

day President Harding is booked
to be the principal speaker at the

of the Treasury, which is set for
o'clock. Presumably therefore,
they will take in the show to-
morrow or Friday-unless they
should decide to go on to Airing

ceremonies.
