TINY HATS AND DEEP FLOUNCES ON SKIRTS

Paris Styles to Be Released on Feb. 15th—Some Advanced Notices Received. New York.—An impression of looseness, according to advance spring fashion notices from Paris received here, will characterize the new model's. The details of the spring fashions will not be released until February 15, but the principal creations and style rules for the season have become known and already dressmakers are making up models to show their patrons. Here are a few of the rules: The first and lowest skirt will be narrow, but It will be surmounted by deep flounces which will give an impression of looseness and almost produce the effect of a small crinoline. There will be a high but very open collar and the bodice will be cut loosely and easily, often in soft silk. Sleeves will be tfhort for day wear. The evening dresses will have no sleeves. The popularity of' the marked deoofiatage for day and evening wear will probably increase Taffetas and velours de laine will be favorite materials for day dress, but gold and silver brocade will be used in the evening drees. The hait will be a tiny toque well set forward on the head, after the fashion of twenty-five and thirty years ago, with one side turned. It will be trimmed with flowers.
