NEW YORK.-Early spring bon
nets-not unlike the first arrivals
in a flower garden-are spirit-lift-
ing antidotes to war. Those shown
by exclusive milliners are in the
main small, but size is the only
noticeable concession to wartime
limitations Limitations self-im-
posed by milliners to keep you
from standing in a ration l n e
when you have an impulse to buy
a bonnet.
If new hats could talk, they could
tell many tale of workroom prob
lens. They'd tell about b =
shortages. Talk about scarcities:
like glue, wire, elastic that put
hat together; yelling which must
be allotted yard to a hat; the
limited use of ribbons; enormous
felts and straws which have long
since departed; certain feathers,
flowers and other trims on which
imports have been stopped.
But thanks to American resource
fitness, spring hats are a triumph
of designing genius over wartime
restrictions. Add the style impor-
lance of simplicity and the 1914
rightness of variability to whim-
sy, gaiety and sometimes outright
nonsense and you have a picture
of next seasons hats.
Trends? Biggest news is the
cloche, which, popularized on both
sides of the Atlantic by French
designer Rose Descat, made head
lines in the 192O's. It's back again
and if you don't remember it,
ask your mom-in pastel, white,
navy, brown and other dark colors
in felts and straw. 1t is sparingly
trimmed with flowers, fathers or
ribbons to give you the same small
round-headed look and to show off
your neat, snooth-browed, flat-top-
ped Golf.
Other bonnets that make news
are the side-line or profile hat"
of lacy straw, fabric, felt; the for
ward perched flower or ribbon
trimmed disc or medallion hat, not
much larger than a saucer; and
the little tiara or half-hat, shaped
like a matador's.
Fabric hats, and especially cot
ton - such as gingham - make
news. They look as crisp d
fresh as a starched pinafore and
appear in sprightly checks, plaids,
stripes and polka dots. Frequently
they are teamed with matching
gloves.

Customary White Sales
Can't Offer Price Cuts

port on sponges for 1914 from the
Fish and Wildlife Service. Sponges
are tough enough to be cut in
pieces, tied to rocks in salt water,
and grow again. However, they
are delicate about tropical storms
and brackish water, and can be
grown only in special areas. Many
of the best sponges grow under
water as much as 100 miles from
shore, and can't be gathered in
wartime.
WHITE JANUARY
The customary January white
sales are out according to vol
untary trade agreements. However,
traditions in merchandising are so
strong that you will at least see
a great deal of emphasis on sheets,
pillow cases, and the like, although
no inducement prices are supposed
to be offered. Some manufacture
ers still grade-label their sheets
with the four standard quality num-
bers, 112, 1913, 40, 1870, the last
one being top-quality.

She kept comparing what she
has now with what she used to
have and making such remarks as,
Boy, what I wouldn't give for a
pair of nylons!"
Well, the other day she read
something that has completely
changed her attitude.
She knew, of course, that there
was thriving black market in
nylon stockings. But she hadn't
given it much thought. If there
were still some nylons left over
from pre-war days and if they
had been gobbled up by the black
market and if there were women
foolish enough to pay eight or
ten dollars a pair for them-well,
that was alright by her.

no pre-war nylons left-that the

Fortunately, there are men who have the courage and skill
