SPRING MILLINERY.
What Will BE Fashionable in the Way
Of Hats and Bonnets.

What VIII Be Fashionable in the Way
OF Hats and Bonnets.
Dame Fashion declares that our head
gear is going to be most pronounced straw
caves, and in proof Of this shows for early
spring some most aggressive styles. These
are bold and high in shape, with sloping or
curving crowns and noI me taagen air.
Hats will be worn to the exclusion, almost,
of bonnets, by elderly ladies even, since all
the bonnet shapes are very small, eccentric
and suitable only for fresh young faces, or
for evening wear. The imported hats up
on Broadway are very unique. One hat of
fawn velvet has sixteen humming birds
sitting about the crown with their mouths
open, and in each mouth there is a great
pearl bean. The price of this piece of fam
tasy is sixty-fve dollars, but Murray Hill
belle considers it ssvery reasonable indeed
for according to her taste, :" It's a thing of
beauty" if not q joy forever. Another hat
of odd design is for very young lady
Egyptian red velvet embroidered in tiny OBJ
elisks and pyramids covers the frame
work, with an exquisite Eastern scarf en-
broidered in many hues twisted lightly
around the crown. In front two white Java
sparrows are perched on golden branch.
This piece of Cleopatra-like gorgeousness
amounts to sixty dollars. Fine chip hats.
very much pointed in front, and having
narrow brims, will be largely worn this
spring. They will be trimmed with soft
new material resembling crepe, and bunch
es of French flowers. Feathers will be lit
tie worn. Yellow and gray will be among
the leading tints in hat-trimming, but care
should be taken in selecting these trying
colors to- allow little bunch of some
brighter tint of red to prevent a sallow
look of complexion, since fresh darkroom
plexioned women only should wear yellow
next the face, or a clear blonde, grey. Less
favored women should deaden unbecom-
ing effects these by hues of red Gold and
silver braid and all sorts of gold decorative
objects will be largely used in trimming
both hats and boEnets for early SPRING
and they brighten up face Wonderfully.
A very pretty walking hat to be worn with
a fancy made spring suit made of soft
brown silk is Of brown chip, in round
shape with high-sloping crown Its slight
~ curving brim is underfaced, with dark
brown velvet, that forms soft frame for
the face. AS the hat is to be worn forward,
around the crown are two bands of brown
and silver braid, that is made by the Kur-
nneeuC MISUNDERSTANDING company, and placed
IN picturesque confusion. just in front are
a great number of small brown and silver
grey wings. The effect is decidedly stylish.
Another round hat, whose very simplicity
is its chief charm, is worn far back on the
head TO show the braid. This is of soft
grey CHIP with q bright-hued scarf knotted
coquettishly about the crown. Over soft
rings of blond hair this little hat looks ex-
ceedingly chic. Hats of cloth to match
costumes are to be very fashionable for the
early part of the season. A shape with one
of the narrow high crowns that fit the head
SO snugly, and a narrow brim, is covered
over the crown with light golden brown
cloth, which is drawn over it in full folds.
When the plaits are drawn at the foot of
the crown they are held under band of
broad gold braid, very closely woven.
Loops Of this braid stand up in front, and
mass of brown and crimson leaves rest
against them. while tiny bird in the centre
is poised, just ready for fight. This hat
is worn just far enough back to show the
edge of fluffy bang, and is highly be-
coming. Turban hats worn down on the
forehead will be the correct travelling hat
this spring. They can be trimmed with q
scarf OF bright silk or surah, or be
made o. cloth and velvet, and de-
