WOMEN FAGES ONE TO EIGNT. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE. PART SEVEN DRAMATIC PAGES ONE TO BIGKET. VOL. XXXIX-NO, 37. TOMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 27, 1910. ' FIVE CENTS, SINGLE R THE HOM STUNNING STYLE “=]N §TRAWSY [ HE shops a1y everywhere abloom with the spring aid summer hafs. In hats this season it is the line that will r celve the first consideration. The mod- els are smart, exceedingly smart, and great is the varlety of shapes, but the trimmings are not quite so lavish and the aimensions are more moderate than the hats of the last season. Broad brimmed lex- horns, with left side slightly rolled and with the back brim. smartly turned up agalnst. the - crown, promise to be a dominant style. Sometimes these hats have tam crowns made of maline in two tones, caught in the center with a small shirring. Practically all the early models have the brims covered, either above or below, with velvet, satin, or taftel All the imported models emph: the Louls fash- fons. Certaln types are more pronounced than others, though almost all forms of the tricorne or abrupt roll are seen. The Louls XVI styles, which turn both in the front and at the back, and which are so posed on the head as to incline downward over the left eye, are much In evidence. This type of hat is good looking and s much liked. The dip gives a decidedly rakish look to even the most demure of women. L Just why this dip is popular there is no explain- ing, but what absurdity to even think of explaining @ fashion! It is accepted, rejected, but never reasoned with. Even the stralght rownd turban is mot content to sit evenly upon the swirled coif; it must be given 1ts chance to dip over the left eyebrow and give an alr of bravado, as dogs the cap of Tommy Atkins or a Cameronia - The great difculty lles in knowing just where to tiit the hat and how to do It. Surely faces that were never intended to be hidden under the cocked hat looked strange indeed under some of the grotesque tilts that are prevailing this spring. There Is art in the tilt. Women who are born to wear the latest gewgaws and fandangles of fashion the ones who glory in this saucy curve of the hat over the'left eye. Thefe are others, however, who were nevwer born to be coquettish, and'the wisest thing they can do is to let the tiit alone—it is not for them.

A number of the best establishments are featuring the narrow, long toque. The newest types of these hats frame the face without shading it.. The new turbans have the brims extremely high, as well as high and are simply trimmed. Among the turbans are found many with entire crowns of flow- ers. The rose-crowned hat {s one of the favorites, but is likely to exhaust its popularity before the season i3 well advanced. N Foremost among the flowers for spring are the ragged roose of tarlatan. These are beautifully shaded and charmiugly appropriate for the Louis hats which they generally garland. Another novelty is the coarse voile rose, in shot or the two tone ef- fects. These roses are large and flat, with the ex- tremely rounding petals. They usually form bands around the hat crown or are used on the extreme edge of the brim. The favorite colorings are the har- monlous blues and greens and the softer purple and green tones. The algrettes are increasing Entire crowns of algrettes are noted on many of the new hats. A clever imitation of the real algrette Is made of horse halr and appears in the form of huge pompons, as well as in the conventional aigrette bunches. Another feature of the season is the use of either extremely fine braids, such as leghorn, Milan, hemp, and hair, or the unusually coarse and heavy bralds, such the various styles of chip and Jap braids. Other bralds between these extremes are shown, however, but the heaviest “cabbage” effect bralds. will be much the better style for early spring. L The large sallors, with more or lesd of a rolling or turned Up brim effect, promise to develop into & popular style. Hats of this character are made up in the heavy weaves in the coarser straw, resembling slightly the Spanish sailor or turban. These sallors are usually trimmed with flowers and large pompons of maline, are smart and appropriate for out of door wear. Maline featured, crowns, bows, the larger the better, and occupy a. prominent plac are strongly among the in size and quantity.

They are often accompanied by other trimming, such as a touffe or wreath of flow- ers, a plume, or a lace rosette, except where they are exceedingly large, in which cage they are used alone. ® In regard to colors, “vert congombre™ (cucumber green) is a French novelty which will be popular. It ‘s a cross between spinach and watermelon In color, having the rich depths of the former and the soft, clear, slightly yellow undertone of the latter. It is handsome In every sort of materiai, blending in well with most colors. A rich mellow purple, not unlike that generally termed figue, on account of it bearing a marked ro- semblance to the color of the fresh fig s another. It is distinguished by a daintily pronounced undertone, but has the same clear, whitish surface as the skin of the plum. It shows up best In velvet or in plumes. Grasses of various colorings, as well as wheat aigrettes, are shown In long cffects. Small clusters of June roses In ralsin, China blue, and the raspberry pink combinations are also popular. Straw cabochons are another form of simple trim- ming well up In favor. A continuation of the vogue Spring Veil Pointers. The heavy mesh vell is entirely out.” The lightweight veil in single threads with a small dot or a close design is much smarter. L The hexagon design continues popular in Paris and is shown in all the new colors and in the lightweight single thread effects. * There promises to be a return of the pin dotted and beauty vells. ® % The veil novelties are not numerous this season. The bizarre types of the last season are superseded by veils of a distinct but not objectionable type. Square, double, and triple meshes with flat, angular, or circular spots are the leaders in the spring novelties. They are shown In all colors. All black types are best liked, however, as no other type lends itself so well to all kinds of milli- nery and to all kinds of complexions. L] Chameleon and undershot effects and chiffon reign in the automobile veil line. They are exceedingly long, wide, and handsome. ‘Tan and green, green and pink, black and wine, and two toned deep blues are the color schemes most frequently of jewel Incrusted cabochons and pendants is well evidenced, often forming the only trimming upon hats of the tricorne shapes faced with velvet. Now that these contrasting facings are all the .vogue ' there Is no reason why any woman should have an unbecoming hat, for she may have her hat of any of the tones to match her costume and yet introduce in the facing some particular shade that will help to make her look her best. Velvet and silk ribbon are greatly used. a tendency, however, toward the of the narrower widths. The ribbons show a great many striped effects as the latest novelty. The stripes are of elther two or three tones and admit of many smart blends, They are either in the satin weave over.a faille fond or vice versa. These rib- bons are employed for the crown torsade as well as for bows or other arrangements mostly on outing or street hats. Many black and white effects are shown, in mate- rials as well as in garnitures. Among the former the magpie and the pepper and salt straw, and among the latter the black and white striped ribbon and the white flowers with the black follage, or the black flowers with the white follage, are the most strongly featured. Fancy wings, quills, and feather fantasies have their place in the new millinery, though the first hats shown are always prone to run to flowers, prob- ably as a protest against winter and all pertaining to it. Some of the new feather ornaments are lovely and some are surpassingly welrd, Huge, rakish, fancy quills are often beautiful In coloring 1f absurd in size, and many of the new models show feather ornaments running off at a wild (angent towards one side, a fashion calculated to make things unpleasant for person who sits next to the wearer.

It retains the snugly fitting lines of the winter turbans and has a huge black velvet bow smartly placed at the left side, The new angle of the trimming and the fact that the bow extends from the front to the back, so that no part of the hat itself can be seen from the left alda, Is the narrow touch. The narrow rim is faced with black velvet, and a band of the material also clrcles the crown. * For an all around hat, one that will serve either for shirt waist and skirts or the tailored sult, thore i» a flat model In rough fancy straw, elther natural colored or. white on the outside and black under- neath. The crown is not in any way marked, thers being simply a rise towards the middle of the hat. The brim turns back on this in a point, from undor which spread ribbon loops in velvet. Besides the black and white combination, it is to be had In any color, or rather fantastic, changeable effect, raisin in tone. Another model shown was of the roughest Tus- can straw. in' London smoke color, trimmed with feathers and aigrettes in self tones. The upturnea sweep of the brim is on the side and the trimming 1s clasped to the top of the rolling brim. While as to general contour this hat Js its lincs rather severe, are graceful, ’ * % Only a few lingenie hats have as yet appeared One on the mob cap order is delightfully plcturesque, The large, heavy crown is of eyelet embroldery, a fine plece, though not handwork. There is little or no brim and the hat sets down well on the head. On one side. there 1s a huge bow of light blue satin ribbon, a twist of which meanders around the crown. While small hats are smart, the large dress hat Is still the prime favorite, and this in spite of the fact that every day one sees models In the most fasci- nating small shapes, picturesque to a degree, and more and more on the lines of a headdress or an empire turban. In a theater box or at the restaurant the large hat worn with the gown open at the throai seems to fit into its sirroundings. At the same time the close fitting turban, with the aigrette glving it tie needed helght, seems marvelously In accord with the present day style tendencles. Which will win out, the small hat or the large one, only time can tell; for the moment it is essential to happiness to be.possessed of both.
