day seems to have cassed

Eipprslse be, wben, if we wers 'llahnrt and ilnmnr. or If wa

were long and lean we were

obliged to search far and

wide for suitable headgear, because It the bat were flat and squatty or else J1 the bats were steep and towering. Though our gowns and suits must bear a modish family resemblance still, the latitude permitted to us in millinery this season is comforting- and Bhoe-saTlng. There are Just two predominating characteristics of the spring bats a crown else Urge enough to allow the bat to rest well down on the head, and the upward tilt of the brimmed shapes, which may hare dashing dents to' .the side or back, or show the brim only gently rolled at the edge. For wear with the spring suit or even with the dressier costume, the small or the medium slsed bat will undoubtedly be preferred, although later on the lingerie gowns will bring, out the picturesque Urge hsts which are slways in good taste for dressy occasions. ' Ths woman who is loath to" glre up the snug little bonnet' shapes she found so becoming during the winter, will be delighted with the spring modda which retain tbe close lines, but : are developed in suitable materials. A distinct novelty Is the small straw or taffeta hat made up quite without any

wlrlnc. The advantages of a bat of

this sort, when traveling, are obvious. One pretty model had tbe crown and upper rim made from dark blue, finely woven hemp, while tbe under part ot tbe brim was of more coarsely woven hemp. Ths brim was turned up squarely across the front, and the only trimming was severs! red velvet roses

' which had been arranged on a wire to form .a sort of aigrette that tilted

backward from tbe front of the crown. Flowers are used In this manner to a great extent, by the way, to simulate aigrettes, and quills, thus giving belgbth to the trimming. While tbe Urger flowers appear to be more popular, tbe small flowers are .often combined with them in most effective ways. A fairly large black chip hat had as Its sole trimming a wide quilllike ornament made of dull pink roses edged with ltlles-of-the-valley. This curved over the crown from front to back with a graceful sweep. Among ths sasll hats the Oriental turban, made up from the soft taffetas that promise to be the vogue In millinery as well as in costuming, will be worn for early spring. - Wings and quills and the perky little "stick-up" - feathered ornaments will continue in

use. For a little later wear turbans to It Very attractive is this Rem-

of maline with little wired upstanding sprays of flowers will be good. A delectable affair of pale pink maline had a sort of cockade at one side of pink rosebuds and violets. Tbe Tarn O'Sbanter crown hat will take on a new lease of life and in taffeta or any of tbe fine straws may be expected to perch itself rakishiy on many a pretty bead. Classically known as tbe Rembrandt, this style of hat is particularly adapted to tbe use of the taffeta silks, in plain and changeable effects. A model that promises to be very popular has tbe rolling brim of changeable taffeta, as well as tbe full draped crown which falls over It. Tbe upstanding Xumldian feathers of tbe same sbade as tbe silk give good style

brandt type when carried out in straw, with tbe entire top of the big, flat crown made of small flowers. Tbe medium sized bats, with their rolling or turned-up brims and, Tor tbe most part, flat, wide crowns, may be simply trimmed with wings or quills or draped smartly with tbe new silks or ribbons. The stiff little tailored bows seen on so many of tbe winter felts have been elaborated into various odd rosettes and cockades formed of contrasting colors in satin or taffeta ribbons, with sometimes a touch of velvet ribbon introduced. A modish blue straw which was faoed with blue velvet had for its trimming an ornament of narrow plaited ribbon, in scarlet, blue and black, which was shaped somewhat like tbe feathered pieces that were so well liked, and placed on

the crown of the bat near the brim, as tbe feather would be used. Although tbe low, flat crowns have the preference not a few extremely good style models have tbe high, beehive crown, combined with an upturning brim. Many of these are trimmed with flat bows, of the pinwheel variety, which are placed quite high on the crown. To wear with her new spring suit of tan, a petite brunette selected one of these high crown models the other day, which was faced with prune-colored velvet, and had two bows on either side of the crown, one of a peculiar shade of cerise velvet, tbe other of prune-color taffeta. You may be sure tbe effect, upon her, was striking. This combination of plum color, or purple with shades of red, is greatly favored this SDrine. A toaue of Bur

gundy red straw and velvet, for In stance, was trimmed with a large spray of dark purple violets, to one side, In tbe center of which nestle three red velvet roses. Black and white will! boid its own, and although the darker shades of blue and purple and red will prevail, a few dashing models are shown in scarlet and emerald green. A three-cornered shape the tticorne is especially modish just now of white tagal braid was faced with' emerald green taffeta and trimmed with taffeta wired to simulate mercury wings, with a touch of black velvet at the base of each. The more elaborate headgear is largely of the broad-brimmed, picturesque variety. Tbe lace hat promises to be a prominent feature of midsummer millinery. Chantilly and maline laces lend themselves well to the all-

lace hat, and for evening wear the gold or silver Chantilly is attractive with plume or aigrette trimming One, of the prettiest of these becoming hats was made from the real Princess lace, and its sole trimming consisted of a; spray of exquisite water lilies laid across the crown. The leghorn hat, flower trimmed, to slways a good choice for the youthful face. Many of these are being completely veiled with net or maline, which gives them an Indescribably soft, filmy appearance. Green dotted net was used to veil one of the large shape, and a sheath of green velvet and black velvet dahlias formed the trimming.

Huge bows- of maline trim many of tbe dressier hats, some of them even having the entire crown of shirred maline. Imagine bow pretty) a big

droonv leghorn was with a facing of

deep plum color velvet, and a crown

of shirred maline of tbe same shade.

with a bunch of pink rosebuds and bios .; bells crushed down at one side of ths

crown.

There is noticeably quite a tendency -

to fashion flowers for bat trimming;

from various fabrics suitable for that purpose. We had, hi tbe winter, ths quaint little wreaths and bundles of ribbon roses, with their leaves, Ona sees these frequently now, bat mora often the Urger flowers made from chiffon or silk. Dainty enough for tha trousseau of a brido was one hat trimmed with dahlias ; cleverly coo trived in white chiffon, with the Isstss made of wired satin, vailed with tha chiffon. The bat itself was a leghorn over which the white chiffon had been shirred; and tbe whole ; effect was charmingly youthful and simple.
