, some of the be.t and latest secrota of the
2 g1as Of fashIon will be reflected on palm
Sunday.
The fact that many binelt feathers are
being Iied ani that epring hats this year
are dark n coloring has made thie early
wearing oIble ; but today , palm Sunday ,

many rare anti beautiful flowers , with hero

were artificial flowera more nearly akin to
nature than now ,
In the foliage line there are great buucheq

out a pungent piney odor. Then among the

eater crown and a round waved brim in a
coiitrting tint , Is a very modish and alTec-
tlve..Inateiial for some of the French , hats.
A CORN-HUSK MODEL.
. Here Is a corn-husk hat , Imported by one
of New York's smartest milliners and whose
prototype will doubtless be seen Easter Suti-
day in a fashionable church pow.
: The beef-eater crown is sage green , braided
In a single piece and with extreme looseness.
f The round brim Is In a pale brown , and
, . the sole triinmIng are a narrow band of
black velvet about the crown and a tail panache -

ache of black Prince of Wales feathers at
. the lelt front.
. Almost all of the hats. large and small ,
' show this upllftiiig of the trlinmlng at the

at the. two sides , across the front , . .has en- .

: 130TH PItETTY AND USEFUL.
A.maland very useful butter straw tociuc
seen yesterday began with a square of the
straw that was pinched down In ridges from
, the center to the tips of the four points.
This was allowed to rest on a loose roil of
black. velvet that formed the toque proper ,
, .tho square 'itraw roof being set at an angie ,
S to bring a point straight in front.
, The hollows on each side vere fastened
ilovn to the velvet with a big bull's eye of
, jet ringed delIcately with RhInestones. Under
each of the side poInts of the straw the vel-
I yet puffed out broadly , and at the loft , al-
inpst toward the back , there was a high cf-
fec of black quills and wlng3 of yellow lace.
The whole effect was very stylish and
dainty , and when tried on a little , sleek
: black head , nothing seemed more suitable for
. first sprbig wear , or , indeed , a more usciul
, Iiiveatcnent for mouths to come , thaii this
. trim symphony In black and yellow.
.
, With the very dressiest walking froclc such
a .bat Is , aufliclently elegant , acid. it can be
worn as well with the plainest taI'or ' gown.
