MEDIUM STYLES FOR SPRING

Coming Millinery Will Offer Many Choices, So That Surely All May Be Suited. The woman who cannot find millinery to suit her this season will indeed be very difficult to please. Not in many years has it been made possible for women to be so sanely and, at the same time, so fashionably hatted as at present. The styles are medium in all things. Crowns are moderately high, brims are neither too wide nor too narrow, and trimmings are in no wise exaggerated. i The smart-looking turbans are most attractive and come in a variety of models and colorings to suit every type of face. As a rule, two colors are combined, and not infrequently two fabrics besides the trimmings. A soft, coarse, rather wide straw and the fine braid of crinoline are a favored combination. The crown in folds will be of the heavier straw and the crushed brim of the crinoline or hair. The golden shades, which Include lemon, ecru and leghorn, are preferred for the crown, while the brim will be of a contrasting color, as blue, dark red, green or black. No less attractive than the shapes are the trimmings. The cockade of chanticleer red velvet decorating a hat of golden and black tones is an example of smart, becoming lines.. A modified sugar loaf hat, the crown entirely concealed under tiny rosebuds, and the brim of black flexible straw, is another pretty model. A tiny blackbird nestling on the left side is the only trimming. The fashionable trimmings are small flowers, single quills, small birds, medium wings, soft ribbons and velvet.
