NEW SHAPES IN HATS

•MALL HELMET FRAMES RESPONSIBLE FOR FASHION. Large Flower* Used an the Smaller Deelgna—Good Effect Obtained by a Combination—lllustration Show* Point*. ' The little helmet-ehaped frames covered with flower* and finished with a ■ingle sprightly bow of velvet, have proved so useful and are so pretty that they are probably responsible for the larger flower covered shapes now coming In. When a hat is at once delightful to look at and possesses durability. It has two items in Its composition that appeal to every woman, writes Julia Bottomley in the Illustrated Milliner. For* small shapes large flowers are

moat often used. The entire hat may he made of them or the crown 1* alone covered with flower* and a small uprolling brim in a harmonizing braid znhke* a graceful frame for the face. The best effects are achieved by combining bluish and white brim* with all-flower crowns or by making the brim in braid, faced with velvet both in the color of the flowers. The daintiest shade in the flowers will -usually prove a good choice for the braid and velvet These all-flower turban* are often embellished with standing aigrette effects in silk fibre, millinery grasses or other fancy trimmings. Splendid quills carved in outline and lustrous, like those shown in the illustration, make an ideal finishing touch. Numbers of large- hats (and some very large ones) are shown with both brim and crown hidden by blossoms. To avoid a too heavy appearance

small flowers are used for these, with a tow larger one* interspersed. The beet large hats of this character have flower-covered crowns and the brim only partly covered by them. Velvet lops, or ribbons, usually finish such designs.
