THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND. FLA., MARCH 30, 1914. e ———— 7 will be & dull eye indeed that does not brighten at sight of the orably pretty new sailors which uve bloomed out in millinery show moms. In all the bright colors of gring flowers the hats are attractive nd becoming in themselves. No sea- o has presented more tasteful trim- ming or so high an average of quality h materials. The last statement may o qualified by observing that milli- sery trimmings have every appear- mce of good quality, at least, which s much to the credit of manufactur- s, for the problem of meeting the Mvance in popular taste which con- santly runs ahead of the increase in wrerage income, keeps the manufac- trer wearing his thinking cap over- time. Two of the new sailors are shown here, and one of those graceful, fancy thapes, with chin strap of velvet, vhich set off a pretty face so well The sailors are of hemp with oblong eowns and curved brims. There is 1 little variation in the brims; some of them are more nearly straight than others, but a little curve is found in the majority. Crowns are nearly all of only medium height. Those that are round are used with wider brims effective trimming than the velvet band with wreath of foliage and fruit posed over it which adorns the hat at the left. Quite often the trimming of fruit or flowers is in tints and shades of the color which appears in the body of the hat. A band of jetted net finished with pompons of black maline is used for , garniture on the hat at the right. This decoration is quiet and is effec- tively used on many of the new colors in straw shapes. The brilllance of the jet and the light gay colors of the shapes go well together. It is a sim- ple matter to place the trimming on hats of this kind The hat at the top of the picture is an admirable shape made of Milan straw. Its proportions are beautiful, and the careful management of the curving, brim shows how much the maker of shapes can do toward the success of a hat. It is trimmed with a band of wide velvet ribbon with small bouquets of flowers set against it, and a rosette at each side. The chin strap of velvet fastens with a snap at one side just at the head-size. This is a modern hat— an original conception—and a credit to whoever thought out its well-bal- and for hats of lace or net. It would not be easy to find a more '[ailored Costume O\E of those coatless cloth dresses | which are comfortable for outdoor | vear on mild spring days is shown bere. Its construction suggests the coat-dress idea, which was introduced last year, but its arrangement of drap- ery is entirely new. The bodice, open- ing over an underwaist from neck line to waist, is bloused over a Wwide fach at the front. It appears to merge | ioto an extension of the skirt drapery, l ¥hich is so arranged that it looks 1 like the skirt of a coat at the back. The material, a chiffon hr(»ndcloth‘ It this instance, is laid in three deep Daits at each side of the front, under | the sash. At the sides and back it 1s | { bon an brought up over the girdle and “er- | Rinates above the normal waist line, | ¥here the bodice blouses over it The sleeves are long and plain, Wit iMple arm’s-eye.

To meet the requirements of the Ifashmnable woman, whose faultless appearance necessitates the wearing of specially matched shoes to each gown, manufacturers offer the most al- luring footwear. They realize that never before was there so great an opportunity for making money as at present. Even the most conservative dressers insist upon pretty footwear, for with the short, tight skirts an otherwise faultless costume will be ruined if the shoes are not | in keeping. Stockings are as much a factor in the scheme of dress as shoes. A few years back women disdained the thought of conspicuously em- broidered stockings, but today nothing is too elaborate. For instance, a pair of dull blue suede slippers are ac- companied by a pair of dull blue silk hose, elaborately embroidered in soft tones, with shaped medallions encir- cling a small bouquet of miniature roses. Another pair of green suede slippers, ornamented with soft colored bows and laced with ribbons of a matching color, are fastened with a Black Patent Leather. Gree 3uede. jade buckle, in a heavy rim of dull gold an« ure accompanied by & pair of latticowork silk hose of the same shade Another pair of dull green suedc slippers fastened with straps over the instep have pear] but- tons, and are accompanied by sheer eilk hose of the same shade embroid- ered on the ankle with a flower and leaf design. Another pair of black and white slippers with black heels and black bows are perforated in order to show ribbons. A pair of dainty stockings with scroll design on the ankle are worn with these. Still another pair of slippers of black suede are accompanied by a pair of pale green stockings. The shoes have cameo buckles set in a dull gold rim. This time the stockings are embroidered in dull gold, in a conventional design at the ankle. Some women who go in for the spectacular will be interested in the | hose, which have gayly colored ani- mals and insects inset with semi- precious stones. For instance, one pair of hose seen shop window was the instep with a tiny chameleon in imitation emer- alds. Another pair of hose in black silk showed on the instep a scar- let lobster em- broidered with red silk thread. Still another pair of silk hose in & dainty shade of gray had a tiny gray mouse with pink eyes. Many are the hose embroidered White Suede, Black Velvet Ribbon, of ribbon on the hat, has made one in flower designs, self-tones or natural in a New York | ornamented at|< fashionable city show window a cen- colors.

These are simply short lengths of cable cord wound with the ribbon and terminating in small bows. The body of the hat is & cerise hemp, in this set, with the rich blue of the parasol appearing in the rib- d flower trimmings. There are any number of beautiful | jdeas in color combinations carried wout in these millinery sets, and it is h I safe to predict their success with the mart set in every locality.

One of the predominating features of the spring suits, as being shown in advanced models in Paris, is the but- tons. Buttons seem to be made out of every substance—some seem to be made out of pebbles, some out of agate, and some out of amber. They are larger than ever, and long bar shapes, and balls seem to be most fa- vored. Colors are decidedly vivid.
