Taupe-Colored Hats.

Taupe-colored straw turbans are cropping out in multitudes, these days. The special providence that watches over headgear has evidently decided that taupe hats shall be “the thing” this spring. The hats are in turban or small sailor shapes, excessively chic in line and poise, and there is only a hint of trimming—a smart quill, a plaited ribbon cocade or a head or leaf ornament. Millinery ribbons are being doubled over strips of a resilient., stiffening material, noncrushable and not affected by the dampness, and the new hat bows and cocades are especially crisp and correct thereby.
