STYLES SHOWN IN NEW YORK

Ideas That May Be Accepted as Authoritative and Adopted Without Further Consideration. Window displays of spring millinery, primarily intended for the edification of southbound tourists, reveal interesting fashioir points which may prove useful later on. In one smart basement shop, a hat of green straw with a round crown has a wide upturned brim. On the top of the crown is a bow of green tulle with branches or rose Bilk made pears spreading out on either side and quite covering the crown. One of the large department stores fronting on Fifth avenue exhibits an entire window full of black satin hats of many shapes and sizes. Many of these are trimmed with straw motifs. A black • satin sailor with a green straw crown is trimmed with a large silver buckle only. Another sailor sports an uncurled quill, held in place with a Jet made flower. Jet is one of the fashionable trimmings selected for the first spring models. So definite is the selection, jetted lamp shade „veils are also showing. The jet is used in tiny paillettes in the shape of flowers and scrolia, decorating brown, white and colored veila as well as black. Ostrich feather trimmings will be very prominently used, especially on low crowned leghorn straws of the garden hat variety. ■
