I ■ N the spring a '
young man's
fancy lightly
turns to thoughts
of love." while
•if thnt of his sisters
and nil the rest
Wh>—JJU of his feminine
V———— relations engages
Itself with spring attire. Tho afTair
of the lflastcr hat, espoclally la of the
first importance, and Is quite likely to
become mixed up with that of the
young man's fancy. Aside from this
very alluring prospect, and even when
a young man figures In the case not
at all, the choice of the Kaater hat Is
a matter of moment which It Is well
worth while to consider before a
purchase la made. Any one who has
once possessed an unusually becom
| lng hat, has discovered how much her
good looks are enhanced by a hat
exactly suited to her own atlye In
shape, in trimmtng and coloring. She
will ever after give the selection of
her millinery the proper attention;
devote thought and time thereto, and
live up to tne old axioms of the mil
liners, which Is, that every Woman
should look better In her hat than
without It. Manufacturers of hat
shapes and forms have made such
progress that there is a graceful
shape for every type of face and fig
ure. They choose models from all
j nations and any period or time in
I history, drawing inspiration from
j head-coverings of all the world. They
modify, combine and improve, to
evolve the innumerable varieties of
shapes provided for each season.
In the group of hats shown here for
spring, are four types of which many
varieties are to be
linery establishments.! The "Rem
brandt," following closely the lines
of the original model; a walking hat,
which is built upon the lines of a
derby, but much modified; a cap-lilie
shape, one of the many varieties of
the Wllhelmina or Dutch bonnet, and
a large "picture" hat with brim partly
like \h«? cloche, but rolling upward to
ward the edge. These are the best
Ideas of the season. Oriental turbans
—as a result of the Durbar—will be a
feature of this season's millinery also,
and later in the spring the straw
sailor will develop much strength.
The sailor is out of place except for
wear with plain, tailored, or simple
morning gowns, or for traveling. It Is
not, as a rule, becoming—its lin«s are
too straight and the shape too rigid.
But it is neat and sensible and fin
ishes a costume of the same character
with harmoney. The popularity of
the sailor hinges upon this one fact
The pretty hat, with the soft tam
crown of velvet, is one of several
models called after Rembrandt. In
the picture, the hat has a velvet
crown and an upturned brim of white
italn-straw braid trimmed with howi
of velvet-oovsiwd cord. It U developed
In a great number of combinations,
and la often mado of hair braid or
other pliable braid. The upturned
rever la omitted and the hat finished
with a bnnd of heavy lace, applied to
the braid, in Rome of the handaomeat
models. It la beautifully developed
In fine black hemp or hair braid, with
tho upturn covered with creain satin,
to which applique lace la mounted, or
ruffles of fine, very narrow Val lace
are applied. Standing apraya of flow
era called "stick-up" effects, cockadea
and feather atlck-upa are used for
trimming. Thla la a charming hat
. and has been made of all aorta of ma
i teriala. A French pattern lii thla
, shape la made of fine Milan braid In
, bronze and trimmed with a wreath of
roaea in several colors, sewed flat to
the band about the head. Thla la a
■ hat for malda and the younger ma
; trons.
i Tho walking hat pictured here Is
i made of a aoft mixed braid, over a
' wire frame. Several colora appear In
the braid, with a atrong blue pre
l dominating, showing glints of red,
- brown, purple and nattier blue; a sort
i of dark mother-of-pearl coloring called
i "macro," which appeara In so many
- braids this spring.
i This braid Is sewed, row on row, to
I the upper and under brim. The crown
- la a plateau of the braid sewed aepa-
I rately and afterward draped over the
i frame. This is one of the hats that
> may be successfully made at home if
' one starts by selecting the right
» frame. It is trimmed with a large ro
f sette, sewed flat to the crown. The
rosette Is made of changeable blue
r and black taffeta ribbon with a large
r velvet-covered cabochon In black at
. the center. A roafctte of wide velvet
. ribbon, made of side plaits, arranged
i about a cabochon at the center, makes
a handsome finish for this model.
\ The same hat made in lighter
a braids, is trimmed with flowers in
f wreath, roaetto or standing sprays.
I This shape is almost universally be-
Ir coming and Is to be worn well down
► over the head; it Is one of the best
t models to choose for "all-round" wear,
s No hat, as a matter of fact, Is exactly
Ei suited to all occasions, but this one
i, will be appropriate tor all ordinary re
v qulrements and is suited to all ages of"
i. grown-ups.
r The derby hat in straw, follows
B closely the lines of men's derby's, and
s finds many admirers in the cities,
e where it Is worn with the "tallow
I. made" gown. It Is trimmed with a
h gay cockade or brush, and worn far
r down over the head,
f The "Wllhelmina," shown here. Is
one of the great variety of shapes
n having the Dutch cap as their lnspl-
II ration. This ono has departed so
n far from the original model that one
it hardly recognises It >as belonging to
e the class. It Is mode over a bonnet
s like wire frame, of a silky, fluted
d braid In a dark amethyst shade. The
.% . # *•' ■ *v'. 4 V* 4 \ '
v-.i,. ...
crown Is lengthened and finished with
an upturn, covered with silk, about
the sides and back. This allk la a
changeable amethyat and rose taffeta.
The hat la finished with a largs clus
ter of locuat blossoms In light ame
thyat, blue and pink colorings, which
Is posed at the back.
There are many developments of
the quaint Wllhelmina bonnet, lees
extreme than the smart model shown
here. LACO and flowers trim them and
they are bewitchlngly pretty and
feminine looking. Almost any face
may find the particular variety of thla
shape which is becoming and novel a
combination to be noted when on®
takes up tho selection of the Easter
hat.
The moat beautiful and becoming
of all hata la the wide-brimmed pic
ture hat. It may be worn by any one
on tho sunny aide of sixty, or on the
other aide, for that matter, by those
whose looks and bearing belie the
yearß. It la made of all sorts of
straw-braids; chip, Milan, hemp, leg
horn, hair Tuscan, eto., and of nets or
laces or chiffon. In fact, every mil
linery fabric la brought into use for
the picture hat.
This year many of the shapes are
manufactured with a black velvet
flange or border on the under brim,
or the entire under brim Is faced with
black velvet. The hemps, chips and
Mllans are dyed in many colors, Mat
tier and light blue, rose and helio
trope being the favorites. Those
shapes that are faced or bound with
velvet provide the easiest and most
satisfactory selection for the amateur
milliner. Such hats are trimmed
with quanltles of flowers, and both
silk and velvet ribbon help out In
their decoration. A fine Milan, In th«
natural straw-color, trimmed with
rose* In their natural colorings and
with black silk or velvet ribbon,
makes a combination always beauti
ful. The same Is true of other braids.
The Panama has entered the field of
the picture hat also. It is now manu
factured in shapes with wide brims.
It remains to be seen whether or not
this incomparably beautiful braid will
strike the right note in a flower
trimmed picture hat
' Among these various hats there I*
one for every woman. Let her not
underrate the importance of finding
her own. nor forget the charm of
flowers. Now that they are so fash
ionable let each one do something to
ward the brightness of Easter by
wearing them. Since the days of the
flower-laden "Verry Widow," such
adorable hats have not been shown
as those which have arrived with
leap year. There is no reason why
the affair of the Easter hat should not
be settled to everybody's satisfaction.

abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics. Blight's Disease, which Is
realty an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths In 1910, ID the state of New
York alone. Therefore, It behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
