M FAVORS THETURBAN Exhibits of Spring Millinery in the Easter Parade. | RED THE DOMINANT COLOR Bold Combinations of Bril Aftfected—Various Shading Bhployed in Trim- min, ” New TYork women donned thelr spring | hats earlier than usual this vear—not be | eause climatic conditions were more favor- { wble, but Enster falls earlier than usual, | @nd perhaps because many spring hats [ velvet faced and present hardly any gestion of airiness. As usual, turbans had first call, although | not by any means to the exclusion of large ahapes. The blcorn s the most popelar in medium-priced hats, and for the more ex- pensive hats the new sallor and nameless ploture shapes were snapped up. There has been & most pronounced favor- ftism shown for red In its clear and drilllant tones, and up to the time of our golng to press the Chantecler craze has not abated. While roosters appear whole on some of the more ultra hats, the majo, ! 4ty of the women are content with only the head or tall, or sometimes head as the decoration for thelr Easter Pheasant talls are In great demand. Th are often used with the rooster’s head. and are considered smarter than the coque feather, which has ‘been In evidence all winter. The golden hen pheasant was the object of the lordly Chantecler’s affection in Rostand's barnyard drama, 8o that it is but fitting that her plumage should share in the honor awarded her mate by the sartorial world. Very gorgeous are the ocolorings of some of these pheasant feath- ers, for in them we find repeated the many colors peculiar to Persian embrolderies and materials, which are, as we know, enjoying great popularity. Brightness of the Offerings. Draperies of cashmere, silk and chiffon are one of the sallent features of month, remarkablo for the brightness of its millinery offerings. Bold indeed are some of the combinations of color affected. B.ue and red, both -in every strohg bright shades, make & favorite combination, and these shades, by the way, are the two leading colors. Blue s good In every shude from marine to French biue, and while up to the present chantecler and other vivid reds have'been the only reds considered, a deeper mote ls struck with the Introduction of Van Dyke red, which bids fair to be well lfked, therefore popular. There have been comparatively few all- bdack hats #old this season, but there are, of course, stunning black hats made. bright , With flowers or colored ostrich, and & very large pereontage of hats are faced with black straw or velvet. Quantities of black maltne as used for the wide-spreading wired bows that are placed across the buck i of the largest sha or arranged In a | tan-llke shape, or a chou on the turban and toque. Then, too, €0 many coronets are made of maline plaited or laid into | folds, which are woven basket fashion. Full crowns of maline, Velllng flowers are also used, and recently the idea of putting « single layer of maline over the entire hat has been noted, the maline being in self or contrasting coler, as.the designer sees fit. Perstan chiffon and French crepe is used this way, too, although more often puton with some fullnesd. Changesble taffeta is a material to be reckoned with this season, particularly in naore coiorings. Wide taffeta ribbon is wall liked but the ribbon most in demand 18 velvet, in black and the fashionable col- ors. There are many novelties in ribbons, and the colored backed yvelvet ribbons may be put In this category. % Lace Is growing in favor, but there are no transparent effects, the lace always being « over straw. There are novelties In quls, cabochons and buckles made of narrow valenciennes lace, it Is - chantily lace that is the prime favorite, and black is used over white and highly colored straws. e Popularity of Lace and Net. Lace 18 being used more and more in millinery, and net never was stronger. Black net and leace lead. Maline and squaresmesh silk net are more popular more than the figured variety, but that, too, is| used. There is not the amount of gold or silver used for .hat. trimming that there has been this winter, but for costumes the tinsel effects are stlll very strong. The en- tive shape Is clouded with net, lace of Per- slan chiffon, usually stretched, without ful- Tiess, over the entire hat. ‘The newest large hats are quite flat and are worn at a pronounced angle, which per- mits of the introduction of some trimming on the under brim. One moss rose and bud is & favorite ‘under-brim ornamenta- tion. A very smart Van Dyke red hemp pressed hat, with sunken crown and rolling brim, had for its trimming a single moss ross laid on the upper brim edge, & little to the flat of the front. The under-brim was | draped with Persian sk to within about two inches of the edge, an end of the silk Testing on the hair. Persian Ribbon and Flat Crowns. Porsian ribbon is used for bows and to drape & flat crown. A bronze straw hat has two bands of six-mch Persian ribbon drawn from the left under-brim, at the headsize, over the bfim and dlagonally Wcross the crown, where it ended at the vight brim, belng held by a moss rose. As ‘the shape was & wide, very flat one, and the trimming was applied flat, this model mey serve as an example of the new pan- cake hat. There 18 & great demand for colored vel- wet ribbon in all widths from one inch. Red, blue and green are the leading shades. Ribbég drawn over the brim and bowed on the under-brim is & feature. Bows are also made of plece goods, chiffon and short-nap velvet belng chosen. Pendant Ornaments and Buckles. 1In the ornament line, the pendant or ear ring variety is very strong.

The style in sallors seems to be in no way bounded by tradition.

Flat, roll and mushroom sailors are being offered. The mushroom hat is ‘& decided protection against the sun's rays, and for this reason firds ready purchasers. The rolled-brim sailor is really the newest, and for that reason will probably lead. Some of the flat sallors are faced and banded with color. Velvet ribbon is used to band many of the newest sallors, vivid colors having the preference. Trimmed sailors for early wear are strong.—April Millinery Trade Re- view. WILL JUDGES CONSIDER IT?

The judge upon the bench may be an hour in reaching the court; the clerk, who may consider himself the most im- portant individyal of the state, may put | obstacles in the way of the business man| | reaching the judge—but all this does not count. If he has not “seen’ a friend, who “sees the clerk” and gets him off, he is as much of a prisoner as the culprit who Is to be tried. Of course, it is a mistake to indorse the jury summons with the words, “Too busy to serve”; that's turning your back on the augubt tribunal. . But what a farce our jury system is anyway. We hope this is not contempt-of court.— Millinery Trade Review GIVE THE GIRLS A SHOW Training for Boys, Why Not Millinery Training for Girls, Manual training in our public schools is & most excellent innovation and every effort should be rpade by the public at large o Increase its efficlency, but when pupils of millinery classes are to do'work for the public at cut prices, under the supervision of Instructors . and .during lesson periods, it is carrying the scheme of making young women self-sustaining a little [too far.

SUNDAY WOMEN MARY MACLANE AT HOME “Montana Bashikirtseff' Out with Unigue Remi- nisences. e Breaks Mary MacLane of Butte, Mont,, has come to lite again. It seems a long time since anything has been heard of her—that time the perplexing creature wrote her story of herself that startled America. After her first book, written at 19, which won for the author the name of the “Montana Bashkirtsef! full of assertions she was & genius, that she was searching for & “dear devil” who would Introduce the desired “‘scarlet” into her life, she came to Manhattan and wrote impressions of what she called ‘the mys- terlous east” for the World. After that Mary went to Boston and en- tered college. She wrote another book called “Annabel Lee,” which did not rival her first book in popularity. She was heard from at long intervals, and now she has turned up again in Butte, Mont. She is writing a “Second Story of Margaret M Lane” for the Butte Evening News, and from It one gathers varipus Interesting items of the seven years since Mary first demanded the attention of the public. Right away one reads that Mary hasn't been wasting her time, but in the werds of a popular chanson of yesterday, she's “been learning. something every da: “I left -Butte crude, Innocent and inex- perlenced,” she’ writes. “I return to it in the role of a frazzled old rounder, New York has been my ablding place these many, many moons, and it's been. in some ways my undoing.” Concerning New York, she write: I know New York as I know Butte, Mont., for exactly what it {s. I have no roseate illusion about it. It has lodged mo not-as a transient bird of passage, but a8 ne of the 4,000,000 who call it home. I well know that it is no place . to g0 | 1o gather lilles. It's paving stones are the paving stones of hell. But on them walk people who are more wopdertul than, Ulies. ADd the lesson it teaches fs the adamant truth itself. 'It's the subtle freemasoary among the millions, the silent recognition and understanding of each other's human- ness and the half suggedtion’ of Mitlmacy that one feels toward all or any of the per- sons one meets and passes on Broadway— it's that that's all the charm and enchant- ment of it. And. too,.it's. thal .together. with the glitter of the white way, that is the most alluring and - treacherous and annipllatiig of il the attributes of the vampire. In truth, it is that quality that is/the vampire. For it's' Intimscy’ with human befngs ‘ard all that it betokens—the | exchanging of bits of one's personality for | bite of another's,’ the, idiosyncracies of friendship, the nerve-racking experience of puplls to seek business from oOutsiders in order to defray the of the school, _being.in Jove, the hypnotic effects. of one t it was golng (o b & big sallor |they should desist or walt for ah appropria- personality upon mnother, the utier throw- Ing to the winds of all one's reserves of body and soul before the compelling inagnetisms of some and the lesser intoxi- catlon of knowing one's own domination of others—it is all theso things that devour ! flesh and blood and nerve. They eat their | way from the outer wall that guards the crude human being to the inmost keep of the citadel. One's loves and friendships have effects on one's slim young body and one's wayward mind . that are more malignant than cocaine and more subtle than absinthe. But it's all so exquisitely and poetically and seductively worth while. What a plcure of youth it is in the Mar- tin at 4 in the afternoon!—a picture of tired, tired youth, women like crushed lilies or half-wilted jonquils. They are all in the clutch of the vampire. The mark of the vampire is on thelr delicate rouged and faintly-drooping lips, in the glint of thelr all-knowing eyes, upon tneir iusolent brows and iIn the movements of their slender hands.. Thelr hearts and bodies are weary from the ceaseless glitter of the world and from thelr endless pursuit of pleasure—a pleasure like an ignis fatuus that is alway u little way beyond, that never, never walts. 1 have myself seen It around corners, behind doors, at the top of flights of stalrs—always beyond, never in my hands or by my side.
