MILLINERS CATCH THE IDEA
Diicover What Women Like in Hat
and Supply the Ooodi.
MEDIUM SIZES ARE IN FAVOR
laynnicr of the Pirl are Hat for For
saal Faactloaa The Summer
Lid aa the Decora,
i tloae.
"New that the great millinery festival of
Easter Is a thing of the past until another
year rolls around, there Is more assurance
In New Tork millinery circles. The trade
has learned to certain extent what We
women want, and It looks very much as
though they wanted the medium rather
than the extremely large or extremely
small chapeau for ordinary wear, while for
evening and formal functions the su
premacy of the picture hat Is unques
tioned. It is a hard fight that the flower
trade Is making against other trimmings
which threaten to oust their product from
popular favor for the helmet and the
banded sailor and the many ribbon
trimmed hats, to say nothing of the more
elaborate feather-trimmed confections, all
have devotees whose name Is legion. There
la still time for the Power-decked hat, for
from a cltmatie standpoint summer (s as
far distant apparently aa It was months
ago, and even one's winter hats do not
seem unseasonable, for with the middle
of April past many women have not dis
carded their furs.
Flowers are being worn and In goodly
quantities, for when they are used to trim,
a hat must be all but burled under them
to be really chic, but the tailor-made has
decided that a flower-trimmed hat la not
appropriate with an abbreviated bobble,
and so she reserves it for dressier occa
sions and pins her faith to a more simply
decorated affair of moderate proportions
and rather scant trimming.
Ostrich Baada Poaalar.
The masses have seized upon the ostrich
bandeau, and small round-crown black
hats banded with this novelty In brilliant
shadea of cerise, blue and green are noth
ing ahort of common at the time of writ
ing. The helmet, the thorn in the side of
the trade at present, will share the fate
of the dispensed dlng-a-llng, but while It
is being popularized It is affording the
trade no little uneasiness, this same un
easiness being augmented by the. banded
sailor peril which is approaching. Nat
urally, everything Is being done to launch
the trimmed hat, but It la up-hill work
this season for any but the most formal
occasions. Flowers are seldom used ex
cept In combinations. There Is a tendency
toward loose wreath effects of field flow
ers and of combinations of other bloom to
be used for mid-summer hats. Popples are
very good, as are corn flowers and grasses.
Among the cultivated flowers fuchsias
may be mentioned as being prominent.
Fuchsia colorings are alio very good,
blending as they do with dark blues, pur
plea and reds.
It will be noted that they form a double
fringe lying on the brim and an upstanding
fringe or wreath encircling the crown. In
this Instance the hat which they trim Is
black, relieved by a cording of the bright
est fuchsia shade oa the under brim. Fan-
sles may also be mentioned as good, but
rosea lead, as usual, all varieties having
their uses.
The colors that are used together these
days are enough to make an artist tear his
hair the cruder the color scheme, the
smarter aeems to be the popular belief.
Bright reds, greens and blues, vivid pur
plea and decided yellows are all not only
worn, but worn together In many Instances,
nor need there be the slightest color link
connecting suit and hat all of which re
sults In a rather barbaric and bewildering
condition of affairs. With the exception
of the plain rough-straw sailor, black hats
are decidedly out of favor, but In sailors
black leads and In the roughest of straws.
Sammer Hats.
The smart trade are calling for Panamas,
draped and banded. These are amarteat
when very large and pressed In a flaring
sombrero shape. Silk grenadine makes a
cool looking drapering. Leghorn Is used
for shirtwaist and outing hats. The brims
are nearly always bound with whits gros
graJn. Peanut straw, aoft mllan and sum
mer felts all attract the summer girl and
make her in turn more attractive.
For motoring the soft collapsible toques
are preferred to bonnets, for such effects
sre not unsightly out of the motor or
quite unassoclated with It. Except for
this purpose or something akin to It, the
collapsible hat Is, however, not over prom
inent. A soft drapering of ribbon or piece
goods often, drawn through that straw
makes the best trimming for a hat of this
character, perhaps further ornamented by
one or more rosettes or ehoug or ons smart
but not very large quill.
Within the last thirty days or so blight
green has made great strides to the fore.
particularly in combination with black. A
change has been rung In the still popular
black and white combination by using
oyster white, which Is slightly off the
white, and while to the Initiated it ap
pears smart enough to those who ars not
"in the know" It comes dangerously near
looking soiled.
The many ostrich-trimmed models that
are being worn and that are being qffered
for later on show a preference for the
uncurled feathers, which makes them
more practical. Indeed .there Is a notice
able durability about most of this spring's
hat crop, for there are few very fight,
albeit many bright colors, and few trans
parent effects In spite of the fact that
lace is used to no Inconsiderable amount.
The majority of straws chosen sre heavy
looking. Indeed, and while the bats to date
are bright and cheery In effect, they ars
far from suggesting balmy daya.
Price of a Child's Hat.
Some people believe that a child's hat
should not cost ss much as a hat Intended
tor an adult, because of the fact that it la
a child's hat. notwithstanding the fact
that the child's hat may take more ma
terial in the making as well as In the
trimming thsn a hat Intended for an adult
There are others again who would make
sacrifices ss regards their own appear
ance in order that their children should
have attractive head wear, but the con
trary Is the general rule. Men end women
of small stature will sometimes find wear
ing spparel In youths' and girls' depart
ments to fit belter and at somewhat lees
cost thas ths sams suit costs In the adult
department a trifle larger but this does
not spply to children's hats. "Mamma"
may wear a small hat oa the toque prder,
conservatively trimmed, while daughter
would wear a wide leaf effect, taking four
times the amount of braid or other ma
terial, and elaborately trimmed, but she
would be astonished If she were asked
four times the price.
This Is the kind of trouble experienced
In all lines of misses' and children's goods.
A woman will pay $40 for a hat for her
self, but when It comes to buying a hat
for her daughter she haggles and quibbles
over the price. She expects the best,
the same style end material as in her own
hat, but refuses to pay the same price
because It is a child's hat.
The milliner has to use aa much. If not
more, material In making the daughter's
hat. She uses ths same amount of brain
matter In designing the style and the
same artistic taste In blending colors or
adjusting trimmings. These are tucklngs
and shirring, flutlngs, and crlmplngs
that take time, yet the price Is objected
to because It Is a child's hst.
If the parent wants a hat that will not
exceed a certain price, then she should
select a style within her price limit, al
lowing the milliner a fair profit on ber
work, not expecting her to lose money on
the order because the parent thinks a
child's hat should not cost as much ss her
own.
Milliners should Impress the tact upon
their customers that It costs as much (If
not more) to mske a child's hat ss that
of an adult and the price, if material war
rants, should bs the same (or morel ss the
else, material snd trimming dictate. The
Millinery Trade Review.
We are now within a few weeks, at
gaost, of mere than tropical heat, but ths
question of suitable dress for men when
high temperatures are Intensified by high
humidity is as far from a sane solutloa
as at any time within a century. Before
long the average man will awaks to a
realizing sense of Uie fact that however
smpls his wardrobe he has nothing to
wear which In any respect Is suited to
his meteorologlc environment. The most
he can do, snd, sbout all that Is possible
to be done beyond donning lighter un
derwear, Is to lesve off his waistcoat,
which la permissible when his linen Is
Immaculate, provided he conceals his
suspender buttons. Between the summer
suit and the suit made for another sea
son the difference U chiefly one of color.
To be "well dressed" In midsummer he
must be uncomfortable. lie knows this
very well but he lacks the courage of
his convictions snd deliberately sacrifices
comfort on the altar of his moral In
vcrtebratton. That nearly every detail of the con
ventional masculine attire Is as unsulted
to our normal summer temperatures as
Ingenuity could devise, will be admitted
without discussion. The average man ap
preciates the comfort of laying oft bid
coat, waistcoat and collar when warm but
feels It incumbent upon him to resume
these superfluous Impedimenta when he
emergea from privacy or when It Is In
truded upon by visitors, especially women.
Theee same women may be clothed In all
modesty In linen skirts and diaphanous
shirt waists. As a matter of fart the man
would be as appropriately and aulublr

the north temperate zone could scarcely be
