Suddenly they become Easter bonnets, traditionally the Easter bonnet is shown off in a parade. This is one holiday of the year when more people wear hats than any other although dress hats are again enjoying a upturn in popularity for men and women. Hats mean different thinks to different dif-ferent people. "Pass the hat." "Hats off to you!" "With his hat in his hand." "Wearing a different hat." "Wearing two hats." "Tossing "Toss-ing in his hat." "Throwing the hat in the ring." "Doffing his cap." "Tipping his hat." An old superstition concerning hats is that if you place one on a bed, someone will die or become ill. Others say the villain wears the black hat and the hero, a white one. Collectors like Colleen Martin and Lou Harrison of Sis's Attic have antique hats from Paris, France; New York, Denver and many other parts of the world. Milliners sprung up across America as the migrations moved from East to West and began to market their products. The same YOUR FLOWERS AND PLANTS Helpful Hints By Merlin Olsen Among the flowers that delight us with their scent as well as their beauty, few rival the freesia, which actually has been improved by man, according to FTD florists. A native of Africa, the freesia is named for a 19th century student of plants from that part of the world, Friedrich Freese. The original freesia .was rather a piam flower but during a 30-vear period in the 20th century, plant breeders developed freesia with taller," more graceful litems and with more abundant and layered blooms. The modern freesia comes in on array of colors, including pure white, red, pink, mauve, lavender, blue, cream, yellow and capper. They are fragrant and colorful Bceent to mixed bouquets and de lijjhtful whn simply arranged lone in A voMf of water.

Those with lots of fluff and trim like feathers and the like now sell for $280 to $350. Collectors not only buy hats but keep an eye open for flowers, ribbons rib-bons and other original trimming. Things like the ostrich plumes deteriorate and must be replaced. When Lou and Colleen stage a style show of antique fashions they choose matching hats and accessories ac-cessories from their collections to complete the outfits. Something magic happens when their models put on the old hats. They are transformed into ultra feminine females, stand straighter and move more gracefully. Men put on a hat and become dashing, more handsome, a little bit mysterious and sometimes, macho. Only the Mad Hatter knows why this transformation takes place but it is almost guaranteed that he will "keep it under his hat." iiiiinj.fi i L 111 lr' If r m - A LJ JA.
