This week the ladies of Brussels and surrounding country were treated to the annual display of fashionable millinery at the stores of Mre. E. Rogers and Mise Roddick, and the exhibit was certainly oreditable to these caterers of fashionable goods and evokedmany limente from oom p the many visitors. A view of the show room at once places the predominating colors as pink and turquoise bine, ranging from the most delicate shades of pastels to the deepest shades Individual hate embrace every shade toned down and harmonized by the exquisite foliage of the season, chiffon be- ing chiefly used in the case of bright biog. BOMB, such as the geranium and poppy reds. The rose is the flower, par excel- lence, and ranges in size from the small Jane variety to the large cabbage. The trimming this year is placed either over or under the brim and none on the crown. Large hate incline either forward on the face or to the side. Nearly all are made ornate by a touch of gold, ohiefly gold buckles. In a number of mime hate are est off by a very clever combination of roses, foliage or gold effects in lace and braids. A0 to shape, everything is flat, flatter, flattest. The mushroom hat predomi- nates. As its name implies, it is very flat and looks as delightful as its deleotable namesake tastes. It droops well over the face and is relieved by clusters of flowers or foliage at the aide or back. The principal trimmings, besides flowers are foliage and narrow velvet ribbon. Birds and wings are not seen at all, al. though an occasional ostrich tip or long plume is visible. Mohair seems to lend itself most grace. fully of all to the fanoifal scheme of the artist, though straw woven with silk, straw alone, and stitched silkaovered with flowers, foliage, or ohiffon, are beautiful beyond anything ever seen before in bate. Red hate will be very popular for early Spring wear, with pale pink, blue and blank and white for later use. tags RUDDICI1. made an elegant display of the Millinery fashions and along with Miss Mamie Sample fell hair to many well deserved compliments for the tasty, taking styles.
