AND * Ouis Mor itec The Story of Children’s Hats Tflfl story of children's hats used to be a brief one until specialists turned their attention to this particu- lar kind of millinery. Now it is long and fascinating and much more worth while than ever before. Looking to the ideas designed for grown-ups for inspiration, and trans- ‘lating them into forms suited to little aily ~ever made ready for spring. . clalizing, designers have broadened icket orida St wearers, has given us the greatest varlety of adorable bonnets and hats the fleld and are demonstrating that it wes heretofore neglected.

The bon- Ifl might be worn by a younger child and the sailor hat by an older one. The bonnet is of pink chiffon taffeta faced with shirred chiffon and having fine lace over the upper brim. The WEBRY prospective bride wants her | dra | maids to be picturesque; like and something unlike those who have pre- oeded in other corteges of beautiful youth.

Crepes and voiles are made in the same pat- terns. Nothing could be prettier.

The shape suggests the always fashionable poke bonnet, but the brim is wider as the crown is smaller than the usual poke. There is a sash of wide, soft mes- saline ribbon about the crown, fin- ished with a rosette and knotted ends at the left side. At the right there is a small bouquet of little field flowers. The little sailor shape is made of hemp in all the bright colors and faced with a partial facing of black velvet. The crown is a plateau, plait- ed into the brim. It is trimmed with a collar of velvet ribbon with short hanging loops and ends at the back. At first glance it seems almost a re- plica of sailors made for grown-ups. But there are little differences. The colors used in it are brighter, there is a different balance between the brim and crown, and the management of the trimming is distinctly childish. Besides the usual abundant use of ribbon many flowers are featured in children’'s millinery. Velvet ribbons on misses' hats take the place of the messalines used for little children. Braids are like those used in shapes for grown people, with the plaid pat- terns used oftener. Laces and chiffon are in greater demand, with ribbons and then more ribbons. The plain, lightweight weaves in light tones and high luster hold first place as trim- ming for children’'s hats. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Costuming the Maids of Brides-to-Be pery extends over the hips and across the back, terminating at each side of the front. A tiny bouquet of sapphire blue for- get-me-nots and button roses is tucked in at the waist by way of a finishing touch, and a strand of pearls in the length which fashion requires is worn at the neck. There is a plain fold of chiffon under the edges of the bodice where it opens at the front. The hat is a gold-colored leghorn draped with sapphire blue chiffon on the underbrim, with trimming of pink roses and grasses. The blue chiffon over the yellow braid gives a greenish tone which is repeated in the silk used for the foundation of the muff. Over this the blue chiffon is draped in full puffs with twists of darker blue vel- vet between them and a big pink rose with its foliage mounted at the front. This combination of color is very unusual, is entirely new, and beautiful. The hat is wide brimmed wtih a very low round crown. The muff does away with the necessity for flowers, and would make a splendid gift if the bride is disposed to remember her maids 80 liberally. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
