FLOWERS THE CHIEF FEATURE

In All Varieties and Colors They Are Used to Adorn the Season’s Millinery. Already word has gone forth that flowers are to bloom abundantly on millinery. And fashion is very definite about the sort of flowers to be favored. The rose will be of medium size and made of straw or of straw combined with silk, but always with cork foliage. Pansies are again in vdgue and appear in every shade of purple, blue, yellow and red, with here and there a white one streaked with a color. Forget-me-nots, for years neglected by fashion, are in again, no* only in the familiar blue tones, but in a new reddish-brown, named pheasant, which is to be strong in spring millinery. Lilies-of-the-vdlley are to the fore, made chiefly of a luster-surfaced muslin which gives their petals a curious opaque appearance. In company with them is seen a collection of small, delicately colored wild Sorters whose names only the botanists know. Not alone for the bride are the or ange blossom and the myrtle. Both are to be wom by the woman who is happily married, been married and divorced and by the most outspoken of tnan-haters. These flowers are not often put on whito hata as they show to most advantage on the heavy new braid« in black, tete de qegre or phase ant brown. ,
