THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL 12, 5. 1925—PART ; Variety in Flowers to Be Observed on the Warm-Weather Hats BY MARSHALL. HEY are talking everywhere of the Improved hats, and the effort to make hats more artistic has brought impor- tant ults hoth here and abroad. 'For a season or SO every- hing was sacrificed to smartness. Milliners seemingly didn't care whether the brims of their hats were becoming or not so long as they were ever. The peculiar trimming was e one most In favor. Recently range feathers and flowers sprouted sccentric angles from the apexes absurdly tall hats. The hat that as stmply pretty just becoming in't seem to figure in the millinery ruce at all. Now subtle change has taken ace. Freak hats there still are, but ere is a lightness of touch to the ew hats, a softer line to the brim and & more graceful placement of the trimming that ought to please every @man who wants to look her best d most charming and not merely forth the originality and daring he milliner who has designed her t Flowers are used abundantly, ver have artificial flowers been ore beautiful. In the history of costumery these vears will stand out 1 time when makers of artificial wers went forward in their art with enormous strides. T'o trim some of the large new cape- nes there are large, brightly hued affeta flowers, outlined with gold centered with velvet. They are placed lavishly at the right side of the hat Roses still pradominate in the gar- en of fashion, but there are other arming blossoms. Reboux, the ‘rench modiste who supplies ' milliners with many models. first place this Spring to the gold, which she produces in nat- stic tints.

R black are 3 'THE calla lily accompanied by its own leaf is another of the season’s favorites. The chrysanthe- mum, which is never without ad- mivers among the French milliners, abpears on many hats, Mary Mangin, tha French milliner, has made a small, narrow-brimmed hat of me- ribbon trimmed with chrysan- hemums likewise made entirely of narrow ribbon. The poppy holds a warm place in the hearts of Ameri- cans, and it is spoken of by one ob- server as “the favorite of the hour.” Field flowers appear as decoration fof frocks as well as of hats. These include, besides the red poppy, white and yellow daisies, buttercups, blades of wheat, corn flowers or ragged sail. ors and sometimes the morning glory bindweed Roses often combined with other flowers. A ]llac-colored wide- brimmed hat, with brim veiled with repa, is trimmed at the right side with a large bunch of violets and Amerioan bea buds. This is a smart combination. It is the bud of this charming rose that seems to be preferred to the full-bloom flower this Spring. Roses are combined with mimosa blossoms with charm- ing results. Raisins are considered a very smart affinity for roses and other flowers, and Parma violets are combined with white camellas, Other flowers marked with fash- on's approval are the wallflower, the dogwood blossom, magnolia, sweet pes, hydrangea and red geranium.

We are interested not only in new shapes but In new terms to de- scrive old shapes and in old shapes revived. The Marquise tricorne appears the collection of Jenny. There is a new tall sh described as an “inverted Hindu toque is the name given to a smart little shape consisting of an underbody of black straw with tor- sades of corded white silk There the polo toque, modeled after the little cap that men wear when playing polo. The French pollu cap has been in- troduced by the Parisian milliner Leontine. There an Empire cloche, more properly called a poke, that has strong _appeal as a warm-weather hat. The turnsd-down brim gives much shade to the face. The Louls XVI shape, of which you may have heard, is pulled down over the eyes in front and turns up at the back where it ix banked with flowers or plumes. This as well as the Empire | cloche and several other of the new | shapes shows a tendency to come even farther than ever over the eyes thus confounding the rumor that hats were to show more of the eyes and forehead. There seems to be less straining after new inspiration this Spring than usual. The milliners are for the most part content to spend thelr energles improving and making more becoming the shapes already befors them. However, the season Is not without its novel shapes. Mary Mangin makes a little straw trimmed taffeta hat to suggest the Dutch girl's crisp bonnet with its flaring ear laps. Lewls, who can always be depended upon to launch some extremes, makes a toque of in is moira that looks like a sort of lavered leaves and twigs In the woods and is so very like them that he is hard to find. He feeds on acorns pine cones and other seeds of the woods. “One day the old cat was out Ia search of his dinner when he came upon a spurdoodle, and, thinking him a tender morsel, picked him up in his mouth. He dropped him so quick- v it nearly made his head spin! “Being very hungry, the big cat tried again to eat the troublesome spurdoodle, but the little creature put up such a fight that the cat went off in a wild rage, and he's been called the wildeat to this day.” had the whole sunny kitchen to her- self. In a minute she was getting out the big vellow bowl and was ready to start to work. Benny sat quietly| on @ chair in the kitchen, watching her with his big, round, innocent eves “The eggs!” shrieked Mary. “Where are the eggs? They were right here “Bella make them Easter egg: announced Benny confidently. “I set her on them and now she color them. ‘Bella? Oh!” Mary rushed out into the yard. ‘It was as she expected. Poor Bella and the rabbit hutch were due to get @ bath. Benny had taken out the eggs for her cake and, as she had said, had “set” Bella on them— with more force than care! Figuring Easter.

Annam, you doubtless recall, is one of the divisions in Indo- China in which France is interested The present skirt flare is said to have been inepired first by the dress of the dancing girls of Cambodia, who danced in Paris a few vears ago, and the Cambodian flare has become one of the outstanding features of the new styles. Perhaps this Annamite hat of Lewis, likewise Indo-Chinese, will have a widespread influence. Some one has said that to the true Parisienne “the straw hat was never anything more than a by-the-wa and 100 vears ago the straw hat was known as “American” because it was 50 much oftener worn here than there. There are straw hats in Paris at this time of year, though often they are so much covered with silk or other materials as almost to hide the straw foundation. But interest in the straw hat will soon wane in Paris and by Summer there will be the little felt hats and the hats of fabric. This seems hardily sensible, but it's idle to 100k for reasonableness in fashions. The prominent French milliners are |using many materials for hats this Spring.

Coloring hard-boiled eggs in gay hues is the usual thing to do for Easter, but a newer and prettier way of using eggs on Easter is to make dainty favors out of the eggshells. First, blow out the inside of the egR. To do this stick a hole in each end with a needle. Then put your lips to one hole and blow the con- tents of the shell out through the other hole. Flowers are the most easily made eggshell favors. To make a lily bud use the whole shell. Get a short plece of wire for a stem. Wind the wire with green crepe paper, pasting the paper at one end onto the end of the eggshell to hold the stem in place. Next cut out green leaves and paste them on the shell, leaving the white tip of the egg showing, like a just- opening bud. If you cut off the top of the eggshell and do not paste the leaves up close afound it you can make 2 pretty tulip. A lovely table centerplece is an artificlal lake in which boats and swans are floating. Use a flat, shal- low bowl for the iake. Then to make the boat cut an eggshell in half lengthwise. Glue an upright matoh- stick on the inside for a mast and cut gut a paper sall to glue to the The swan, too, is easily made. Cut out & swan's head and neck, doubling vour paper. Paste the paper together except at the end of the neck, where you turn back the two flaps to paste onto your eggshell. In the same way, paste a tail to the other end of the eggshell, making your swan as, life- like as possible. Cunning little humpty-dumpty dolls can be made from eggshells. Use your paints or crayons to paint ¢n the hair and face for your doll, using the small end for the head, of course Fhen gay little dresses may be cut out of crepe paper and pasted on to suit your fancy. You can make ‘your doll "stand up by dripping melted sealing wax inside =o that it settles at the larger end and hoMs the egs- shell upright when the wax hardens The next time mother makes a cake ask her to let you blow out the con- tents of the eggs for her and sec what you can make with the shells gl Mournful, Indeed.
