CALL. in a host of danglers that fall It is a hat stunning for evening wear, but almost too flashy to we tand the light of day. “There are any number of new straws RTS FrorM FEREOERICKS AnD MorrISon. which deliberately show bands of satins woven in,” said Mrs. Fredericks, “but we find that the straws that are nearly all chiffon take better in Nevada than they do here.” Fancy such a combina- tion. Two strands of chiffon and one of straw. The latter gives the braid a heavy look, but in reality it is as light as a teather and delightfully easy to brush. The all-white hat is quite as much a favorite as ever, and it is open to little or no objections, for it can be worn even- Ings in the winter and both day and evening in the summer. It is a splendid investment and one need never hesitate to purchase it. Close to the white is the amber or burned straw, but it will soon be too much worn to be liked by those who strive for originality. The moss hat is something particularly fetching and delightfully cool looking. The braid looks for all the world like the soft clinging moss and when it is put on a turban that has a brim full four inches wide it looks as though it had been borrowed from a glen for some state occasion. Many flowers have been chosen for trim- ming purposes and’they have never beea selected with a hand more reckless. Of a truth it sometimes seems as though everything had been put on that came handy, for roses, large in size, are sewed down with the baby forget-me-nots, and now and then a violet seems to have just happened along. Yet the appearance is by no means jumbled, but is sweet and pret- ty. One thing is distinctly noticeable, and that is a lack of flying ends and stream- ers. To have a hat of the right color is more than half the battle won, but to have it wrong, no matter how dainty the trim- mings or how chic the style is to mean & most complete failure. Hats of one solid tint ere more worn than ever before, the all-green.or the all-blue being very good, but there is a positive craze for the all- red, especially in the brightest colorings. The golf girl has, as usual, wan the proud distinction of having a hat made especlally for her, but this time the Stan. ot ford girl has adopted It and is trying to make it all her very own. They are the regulation Robin Hood hats, round and twisted either this or that way according to the pleasure of its wearer. While they are crisp looking in straw the ones made of white or of crimson felt are more worn, — es they fit like a glove and are quite as light in weight. 5 We have agajn borrowed from the French. They are little given to wearing hats which come well over the face, they cast shadows and almost. hide the hair. Indeed, the French woman wears her hat back as far as it will stay on, and to Insure this she uses pins that would scare an American woman on account of their extreme length- and that might in- cidentally poke an eye or two out. No matter how plain a hat may be, If it is set back it is bound to have a pert ap- pearance, and if to that is added good curves it cannot help but be stunning. Be slow in buying your hats. There is more ar{ in that one thing than all else in the varied articles of one's wardrobe. The hat makes or unmakes you. It is no rare thing to say, “What a fit looking girl!” as she nods and dimples under a picture hat, but the minute it comes off, “What a difference that hat made In her!” .is heard on all sides. The French hat in the spring time is a dream in all things growing. The timid violet in all its purpleness, tire bud- ding leaf in all Its greenness, the coming rose and the gaudy geranium are all seen in the French spring millinery. The French milliner goes to work very cunningly upon the hat of spring. for she realizes that, to be of any vaiue to her customer, her work must be permanent She must construct a hat that will hold its style all summer, and more than that, she must design a hat that will look very nice all winter; for, with the addition of a very little In the way of trimming, sum- mer hats are worn in December. To bring about this result, without sac- rificing her present style, is what the milliner aims at, and what wonder Is it if she goes to bed many a night with a heavy heart. But she rises to the task in the morning with renewed effort and before night she has evolved still another hat, for she has many to be done. Now the evolution of a French hat is something not to be despised, for it means the creation of sometking which is a lit- tle different from any other hat that was ever designed. Each hat differs from the other, for there never lived a French milil- ner who would condescend to copy one hat from another, or make a hat exactly like one which she had made before. It may be that the style will differ by the addition of a feather or a flower, or it may be that there will be a new turn to the brim or a new way of ruching the border of the hat.

The nicest of hats are made of several different materials, for the new straws deliberately display bands of satin weven in, and there are a great many straws which are nearly all chiffon. This m: s the hat very light and one can procurs an Easter hat which i8 large and whi looks heavy, but which is really as light as a feather The summer girl can wear a sallor hat with perfect propriety long before the sea shore days come. She can wear a round sailor trimmed with flowers, or she c affect the rolling sailors that have s for their trimmings, and t are dec ated with quills which point forward In a war-like way. The summer girl can. also. by prope approval, wear a round hat, trimmed like a flower garden, and to complete the re semblance the hat can have bouguet of flowers at the side.

Mark well the slightest tints, the slightest curves and then Increase your spring wardrobe with as many hats as your purse can well af ford to buy.
