SPRING MILLINERY.

Flowers That Bloom In the Headgear of
Fair Wearers.
Spring millinery is trifle 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
looks well, but for the most part, mill
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-ftting, 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 a mass of gauze
in puffs, 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
fat saddle. They are very deliberately
filed in under the front and back edges
with plaitings, puffs, ruchings and tiny
plumes. There are velvet strings which
tie under the chin in 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-fitting 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 it's
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 of velvet, small
plums, rolls or bows of ribbon, and
as the season advances, will be of flow
ers and foliage.
ThereNare 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 fanciful
fashions, or they may be left straight
and Tapping. Young ladies will wear
hats in preference to bonnets for all or
binary occasions, and in many cases for
dressy wear.
Children's hats are de-brimmed,
round and very simply trimmed with
flowers and ribbon.
