Sil vered and gilded leaves are a new and distinctive Easter fashion with appeal to those seeking the out-of- the-ordinary. Speaking of flowers, milliners ev erywhere declare that myriads of flattering little flower hats are sell ing in unprecedented numbers. The significant message about these adorable little flowery confections is that you may wear them as cor rectly with your prim little tailor suit as you can with your dressi est dress-up costumes. (Quite a de parture from the old idea which ex acted a tailored hat with a tailored suit!) The thought that is prevalent throughout this season's style pro- gram is that one should wear al luringly feminine and flattering ac cessories. This applies not only to flowery hats and colorful whimsical veils but also to "hankies.” which are of the pretty-pretty type. It is just such flower-bedecked hats as the one shown above (to the left in the illustration) that are lending "endearing young charms” to the Easter fashion picture this spring. Note the dainty handker chief. designed by Burmel, which so artfully plays up a dainty petit- point garland encircling an embroid ered full blown rose.

The inverted pompadour is a "last word" hair-do that is exciting much interest. The hair is brought down over the forehead, the ends turned under, which, when deftly done, gives every appearance of bangs. Not only is this ever so flattering, but it is very practical, for it stays neatly "put.” with minimum care. Something new for the bridal gown—white Nylon velvet, said to be very charming to the eye, and highly satisfactory in that it drapes beautifully and yields pleasingly to fabric manipulation. Very new for spring are navy coats or capes that have small shapely collars of white caracul, broadtail or similar fabriclike fur. Other models in navy have simply a cluster of white ermine tails at the throat. White hat and accessories worn with these coats and capes key to the white of the fur. To wear with your spring and summer print dresses, look up bead or flower necklaces, bracelets and clips that pick up one or more colors of the print. 1911 Jeweled Gadgets Romantic, W himsical You must wear a jeweled “gadg et” of some sort on your lapel.

The landlady glanced round the table at her twelve hungry board ers before starting to carve th® rather sad-looking chicken. In rapid succession she asked each which part of the fowl he preferred. Ten of them decided on legs. The carver dropped her knife with a clatter on the dish. “What do you imagine this is?” she said, sarcastically, pointing to the chicken. “A centipede, or what?” “Oh, no,” replied the boarder who had been served. “Judging by the piece of neck I’ve got, I should imagine it was a giraffe.” Real Necessities Necessity hath no law.
