Medium-sized flowers are banked over
many crowns. It lightens the hats and
has been found advisable to have only
the brim of straw, when the flowers are
_ to be banked over the crown. As there
is still considerable velvet used on the
hats, particularly for facing, every device
should be employed to detract from the
weight.
sing banks, pyramids and bouquets of
small and medium-size flowers is the fav-
orite motif for trimming. There is a good
deal of lace employed in various ways
and not a little ribbon in epingle, faille
and velvet, as well as uncut velvet. Os-
trich, in both willow and French effects,
leads in feathers, many of these being
shaded or in several harmonizing colors.
In ornaments, beads lead and these are
fashioned into bands and strings, as well
as buckles and cabochons.
One of the cleverest new hats shows a
new rture. The whole shape is cov-
ered with small loops of silk I aaoys
white, some e green, and some
black, cleverly folded and set very closely
together, so that they look almost like
flower petals. On the one side there are
two rose-shaped choux of emerald green
ribbon, with tall upstanding ends, wired
to keep them stiffly in _ and giv-
ing the always becoming aigrette effect.
The slender platinum chain is fast
superceding the gold one in its use for
pendants. Mountings also are of the
same metal, and the number of designs
for this most popular ornament continue
to be on the increase. The most fash-
ionablel ean toward simplicity. In illus-
. tration of this, there is the single pear-
shaped stone t amethyst or aqua-
marine, su by openwork or
platinum. The enamel necklace is like-
wize conspicuous. latter are usually
very ornate; one has the entire
chain formed of green enamel links of a
floral design, with a pearl of different
tone in each segment, and alarge pendant,
similar in color or motif, from which de-
perde an iridescent pearl of unusual
auty.
Have you noticed the emphasis focal
on braid in the spring models? It has
invaded millinery, coats and wra and
not content with this, it has vs og itself
felt on accessories such as handbags, etc.
In the realm of dress braid it is most
noticeable. This year it must be very
wide, and, although at first it seems ex-
pensive, the wearing qualities of this
trimming are such that you change your
mind and succumb.
Wide braid is used to outline the fa-
vorite sailor collor on suits and
It forms reveres; it is easily used to fash-
| ion deep cuffs, and frequently
1 : plastrons
and inserted pieces are introduced just to
prove what a valuable asset braid is.
Very wide braid—and it can be one-
half yard in width—is used to form the
front of coats, or to fushion wide banels
on coats or skirts. From this expensive,
but beautiful trimming, half-length
sleeves are made trimmed with silver or
golden buttons.
Silk braid is used on the elaborate sat-
in suit that is coming slowly but surely.
"It forms the trimming for the jacket, and
then is used as deep bands on the skirt.
On serge dresses the vogue for wide
braid is quite pronounced. Whether
! they be white or colored, the braid seems
to trim them with an appropriateness that
attracts the eye.
Remember that braid, if of good quali-
ty, can be used again and again. It -out-
| lasts the garment that it trims and in the
: end pays you for your investment.
