SPRING MILLINERY.

Flowers That Bloom in the Headgear oi
Fair Wearers.
Spring millinery is a tritle eccentric,
and, therefore, is not quite as attractive
To the majority of persons as when it
showed more conservative styles. Very
few people like marked departures in
millinery, and it is only to the very few
that they are becoming. Once in a
while there is a radical novelty that
looks well, but for the most part, mil
linery is as circumscribed as propriety,
and when one goes outside of certain
lines, there is sure to be trouble.
Small bonnets are admissible for
ladies of all ages. They are snug and
close-fitting, and has less trimming than
usual; but this trimming should be very
handsome, and must be arranged in a
very artistic fashion. The frames OF
some of the new bonnets are in modified
toque shape, and are not so stylish or
becoming as many of the models shown
on former occasions. The bonnet of
the present sits too squarely across the
top of the head to be pretty. The be-
coming bonnet should extend down the
sides, or be finished with an arch in
front The perfectly fat, round shape
is trying, and while many of these will
be worn, most women will accept them
with few grains of reluctance.
Some of the new shapes are covered
with velvet, others are mass of gauze
in putfs, folds and plaitings; others are
| lace-covered and some exceedingly
pretty material in the way of lace braids
| and old-fashioned fancy Neapolitan and
| Tuscan are shown.
There are some fat bonnets that are
perched high upon the head over the
hair In silhouette they bear very
striking resemblance to an old fashioned
fiat saddle. They are very deliberately
filled in under the front and back edges
with plaitings, puffs, ruchings and tiny
plumes. There are velvet strings which
tie under the chin in a bow. Some of
the velvet strings have the effect of
! stirrup straps, and are not, as rule be-
| comingly arranged.
| 1t must not, however, be imagined
| that ladies are under obligations to
wear these eccentric bonnets.
There are pretty, close-htting shapes
| which have scarcely been out of market
for a score of years. One style, es-
| pecially has been seen so often that the
remark has frequently been made that
it must be old enough to vote, even if its
wearer could not. 1t curves down over
the side of the head, is slightly rounded
up in the back, and has brim turning
out very little at the top and sides
| The Trimmings of loops ofvelvet, small
| plums, rolls or bows of ribbon, and
as the season advances, will be of flow
ers and foliage.
There are some very pretty hats with
moderately high crowns, rather narrow
brims rolled up at one side. A spray OF
flowers or plumes is set under the up
turned edge of the brim, and the hat is
trimmed with loops of ribbon, flowers
or knots of velvet or lace, and some
times all these materials massed to
| gether. Round hats will be popular
The brims may be bent in, curved over
and tucked up in all sorts of fancifui
fashions, or they may be left straight
and tapping. Young ladies will weal
hats in preference to bonnets for all or
dinary occasions, and in many cases fol
| dressy wear.
! Children's hats are -brimmed
round and very simply trimmed will
| flowers and ribbon.
