Long before the hardy and daring red-breast pipes his cheerful prophecy of sum mer, the first spring millinery has enchanted us with the same prophecy. It is made for those who leave the lands of snow to journey to lands of sun, but they are not the only people Interested In It. Spring hats are al luring in midwinter and some of them find their way to heads that have no thought of journeying South. The spring styles are tried out on southern tourists and the fashions crystaljzed by the hats worn at the famous winter resorts. Here are three of the new patterns that are destined to make successes’ apd narrow grosgraln ribbon. A broad quill of glycerined ostrich trails out from the side crown and defies the rain or snow, which will not cause It to droop. Just below it another between-seasons hat is shown made of crepe georgette and satin, with thread embroidery of heavy silk floss on the upper brim with a group of loops and ends at the sides, curiously and cleverly arranged as if peeping out from the base of the crown. The third hat belongs to any sea son of the year and is destined for those hours of ease and luxury when its wearer dons evening or afternoon clothes. It is made of malines, with a binding of satin about the brim edge and a band of folded satin about the crown, finished with a bow at the front. The smallest steel beads, in in all localities, first because of their ! rings,-are set about the inner excellence, and next, because they are edge of the binding and at the HOLDERS OF UBERTY BONDS are advised to hold them.

I People Read This Newspaper ^ That's why it would be profitable for yoo to ke in k not unusual, but beautiful and becom ing shapes that with little modifica tions, are worn, every year. At th*' top of the group there is a little deml-season hat of. ribbon and straw of the sort that makes its pp- praranee in January for the, benefit of tourists. If the weather is at all fa vorable it goes strong in northern, as wHl as southern latitudes. It is of Hack liserc—a highly lustrous straw top of the loops in the how. It is In blatk, and merely veils the bright hair and demure eyes of its wearer. These three hats will fill the millinery needs for spring jof the average wom an, and may be‘relied upon for good style*. I 1 [Q o D Our “Opening” on the 19th was a big success.

A simple but rich-lookinp toilette is imong the new displays of suits and dresses for spring, but with all its simplicity it reveals two original and very effective style features that are noteworthy. The first of these appears n the combination of two very differ ent satins. Ihe plain skirt is made of one of those heavy, lustrous, supple weaves, much used for separate and sport skirts, and the smart and rather elaborate coat Is fashioned from a heavy satin such as we have been fa miliar with for years. There Is no rivalry between these two dissimilar satins, but it is unusual to see them used together. Just how successfully they may be associated appears in the suit for spring shown above. This is a formal ^ult that will hold its own for afternoon or restaurant- dinner wear, and .pcove.useful for oth er very different occasions. The skirt and coat may part company—the skirt serving with various blouses for, any smart, informal dress, and the coat do ing Its efficient part with a cloth skirt or one-piece dress In lighter fabrics, merely as a coat. It proves to be an interesting garment with details of cut and decoration that'bespeak consider- > r . able effort on the part of its designer. The body of the coat is merely a blouse opening at the front to the waistline and closed there in the man ner of a surplice. It has a rolled col lar, faced with or having an over- collar of white satin. The sleeves are gathered into a very deep and eccen tric cuff of satin, with three satin-cov ered buttons as a finish. The picture describes it better than words can. The skirt of the coat is rounded at the fronts and laid in two deep inverted plaits at each side. These form point ed panels over the hips that widen from the waistline to the bottom. The »r-v panels are decorated with embroidery in two colors, one of them the same as that of the coat and one of them a light, contrasting color. The girdle is shaped with points jupstanding at each side, over the underarm seam. The front and back of tho coat are j.prettily finished with narrow silk braid in parallel rows.^startlng at the waist line and terminating In little satin-cov ered buttons at each side. i \ T-V y HOE >).(• :...iocrr'~Dilc=i3Qri=?||c±=7nor-- - >\[c -HOE ~D)(CZ77HOE r ' H -* PUBLIC ^ >- u Ice Prices of 1918 will be in force this season, with a 5 per cent discount on all Coupon and Strips bought before April, 4th.
