&t T 1 winter hat It will tike more ftl I Ulan den to make the smart spring and summer con

fection. A fashion that permitted a woman to close her

eyes, drop a single - blossom or bow or rosette on some corner of a rakish shape, stab the crown with a hat pin and sail forth correctly bonneted would be necessarily short-lived. "Off with their unadorned headgear 1" roared the powers that be. Sotto voce: "It's bad for the trade." So all signs seem to Indicate that we will stagger under cartloads of blossoms before the end of summer. The advance styles show moderation in their use, as well as in the new shapes, however, and though one model had pink

roses standing upright over the whole top of the crown, surrounded by a heavy hedge of white lilacs all of which suggested watering cans and pruning shears the most conservative woman should be able to find something to her liking. New color schemes rather than new shapes are the novelties of the season. The Russian turban that has been so popular during the winter will take a new lease of life, at least for the early spring, appearing In straw, mallne, and sometimes In silk, such as pongee, to match the costume. These are trimmed with flowers, sometimes in bunches at the side, sometimes having garlands of tiny roses festooned about them, sometimes having the whole top of the crown made solid of flowers. One striking turban of black net had a crown of this sort on which pink roses were used, the color being: softened by a loose veiling of net caught In here and there with a tarn o' shanterf Sect. The mallne turbans may have a cluster' of flowers nestling In their perishable

(folds, or may be given a jaunty dash by ishlrred and wired maline simulating 'wings. A delectable color harmony was

achieved by a bunch of ragged silk roses In a pastel pink, crushed among the folds

of a pinkish lavender maline turban.

The cavalier style with Its wide brim rolling gracefully on the left side, is perhaps the most popular shape for spring, because of its particular adaptability for flower trimming, and the larger sailor la much in evidence. Scarcely a hat of this character Is seen without' a facing of

satin, velvet or taffeta. A novel feature

Is the covering of the top of the brim jwith satin or velvet, the under part remaining of the uncovered straw. When 'the brim is faced underneath often the icrown is smoothly covered with the same material. Black maline and black net i

are much used in the dress nats In the cavalier styles, bound with velvet, satin or cloth of gold. A bunch of roses and violets formed the trimming of a moderate sailor shape which had the appearance of being made "entirely from gold braid about an inch wide, stitched flat together. Leghorns, rolled easily at the side, or turned up sharply at the back vie for approval with the variations of the tricorne which are used for both dress and tailored hats. Hair and hemp shapes, chip and Milans are greatly In demand. For the street hats large bows of straw or ribbon or velvet, made into the stiff pump bow, give a perklness to the sometimes clumsy looking turbans. The long popular mushroom brim, under which a woman might look like a demure mouse.

or an Inquisitive squirrel. Is seen no more. It has been given a twist herf and a flare there till it has quite lost iti drooping reticence. But its off spring, the poke bonnet is here, with huge bowt at the back and gay roses to the front ,

that belle Its modest character. One of these delightful creations was of pink satin covered with ecru lace. A pink aigrette at the left and a huge bow of brown velvet at the back formed the trimming. Sometimes demi-plumes are used in the back in place of the bow. But a note of warning should be sounded Ions and loud. These fascinating chapeaux are anything but fascinating above and around a face that has lost the round curves and the fresh color of youth. Matrons and spinsters, beware! The introduction of a touch of brilliant

scarlet on many of the newest hats' amounts almost to a erase. A band of ribbon velvet around the crown, a scarlet wing, a velvet facing the smartest hats tnw these chic effects. The brilliant

poinseiua, nnus i .;,. striking against the fur turbans of wln-i ter. has blossomed into summer usage with petals of silk and linen. Great'

clusters of tbem are nsed at the side of wide-brimmed hats, falling OTer the up

turned brim and resting

on the hair. Cherries are! tbe only fruit seen on the hats as yet. but these are

used la striking ways. One

leghorn, of aallor shape,;

had a fold of scarlet vel

vet around tbe crown. A hnge bunch of cherries was

fastened to the left side of the crown, and through a slit in the brim a portion

of It was allowed to hang or rather

dangle over tbe ear.

A Spanish turban, faced with black

velvet, was most effectively trimmed with

three black pompons from the center of

which sprang a scarlet aigrette. Another turban of Tuscan straw was simply

decorated with a rosette of ehanfcaMo taffeta. These changeable effects It la expected with be much used, especially to tbe mallnes. Turbans made entirely oC

flowers are again being

flowers which are made of brussels) lac or fins mallne formed Into petals have the regular flower renters and are used la the ambiance of the cabbage rose, chrysan

themum or dahlia on many of the smallet hats. The leaves are sometimes traced with gold or silver vetoing to give the touch of metal so desirable. The dress bats are developed In a wMs variety of net and laoe. Willow plumes and aigrettes are used almost exclusively In the trimming and the Gainsborough styles prevail. One stunning modal is of Milan straw, with the upper brtra covered with black velvet. It Is caught up sharply on the side with a waits

heron aigrette and pink coral bead chon. Another charming hat that

one think of garden parties sad Dolly Varden. was a whits silk hat in s drooping shape, covered entirely with Mask Chantllly lace. At one side of the crown the lacs had been fashioned iota a feathery bow. while at the other tiny pink moss roses were snuggled into the

folds of the lace that encircled the
