PUT TRIMMING ON HAT BAND

To the Small Bonnets This Idea Skillfully Done Has a Very Charming Effect. Not being able to find a new way to trim a hat, this year’s millinery artist has followed the ingenious method of taking the trimming from the hat and confining it to the band which goes around the head. What funny things they are —these new little, untrimmed shapes, with a floral band to go around the back of the head under the high casque knot! One produced by a leading importer is a flat-crowned, narrow-brimmed bit of lavender straw, without one symptom of flower, ribbon or feather any place on its limited expanse. To go under the knot, however, there is a band of thickly studded violets —almost funereally solid, in fact. It is certainly a sensation, and the dealers are all predicting for this little flat hat, with the wayward trimming, an immense vogue for the spring.
