SPRING HATS.
The new hats are far larger than any
that have been worn for many wears.
and chip is the fashionable material of
which they are composed. The felt
hats now IN vogue give some sugges-
tons of the spring shapes, but the new
chip hats are still larger than these, are
as soft as any slouch hats, have high
crowns, and wide brims capriciously
rolled, turned and indented, and in size
they are like gentlemen's hats, very
slightly modified. Importers claim for
these mammoth hats that they are not
only becoming, but sensible as they
cover and protect the head. The latter
assertion Is true, and as they viii soon be
considered stylish, the former is a matter
of course.
. For young girls and misses straw
hats are shown in an improved sailor
shape, known as the Leopold. The
crown is round, instead of being square
and fiat, as it was last year, and the
wide brim is turned upward all around.
The edge is bound with black, brown
or blue gros-grain ribbon, and the hat
band and ribbon to match have bars
and trlangles of gilt or silver. White
straw Leopolds are prettily trimmed
with navy blue ribbon that is almost
black, and ornamented with stamped
bars of gilt.

looking. They are shown in sky blue,

FRENCH FLOWERS.
The French flowers for trimming hats
are mounted as large wreaths with trail
ing sprays behind, or else in one single
compact cluster. OF the wreaths many
are altering pink and tea roses to go
round about the hat, while pendant be-
hind Is tied a bunch of dark red Agrip-
pima roses, to show their long stems of
small scarlet poppies with dark green
ivy leaves, or else of wild sweetbrier
