Tilted Hats Return.

Dame Fashion opened up her array Of spring
modes with the dictum, nll hats must be
worn tilted down over the nose. So tilted
they were, and 1t made little matter as to the
shape, character or style OF face peeping out
from under the broad bri ms.
After all the women had become accus-
toned to the aureole-like affairs which had
framed the pompadour style of hair dress
ing all winter. the tilt in the opposite direc-
tion was something which at frst proved
rather disconcerting. But we all fell into the
way Of il, and though the season Is rot so far
advanced, we took to the new mode as the
ducks do to water.
Besides, the woman whose hair did not curl
naturally was feeling sense Of comfort and
freedom from worry when she realized that
the new style would hide the defects OF n
head Of hair which was not waved and curled
to the point Of perfection.
The Herald informed its readers sometime
ago that the very obnoxious bang was coming
into fashion again. and many q wall went up
from many woman at the uere thought OF
ever again having to wear what our English
cousins call "a fringe"
Many argued that 1t could not be true, be-
cause we were wearing down-tilted hats.
But the Herald Is never misleading.
The latest advices from Paris, the birth
place Of all our fads and fashions, whether
good, bad, or indifferent, tell us that the
newest hat is worn turned back of the face.
And the latest fashions show us n pretty face,
with fair amount Of bang and wide brlm
turned backward Of the forehead.
The ever-favorite toque is still worn off the
forehead, and the still prevailing fashion Of
wearing the hair porspsdour makes them SO
becoming that they hold the first place in
the average woman's heart. But there are
small hats, which are only becoming to
round. full faces, and only look ut their best
when adding the finishing touch to a fully
puffcd pompadour. The thin faced girl,
with long. narrow, aristocrutio cast OF
countenancc, cannot wear these small bonnet
like affairs and feel perfectly satisfied shat
she Is looking her bost.
To this latter girl the new cxtrome fashion
Of upturned hats win be boon and blessing,
gladly welcomed and accepted. To this 50 mo
girl the fashion of wearing tho hair off tho
forehead the last year has been very di strcss-
ing, and 10 will be blessing for her wher, the
bang being revived, tho hats will naturally
be turned up in front, as flt accompaniment
TO tho soft turls dressing her forehead.
The summer girl Is wise who has had the
patience TO wait litiln be foro laying in her
full stock OF garden. dri,ing or festival hats.
she can have variety in her wardrobe by
adding ono or two Of the turned back shapes
TO her collection.
This abrupt reversal OF tho earliest spring
style may be- trick Of tho inilliocrs 20 make
trade brislSer, but 10 whatever onuso " may
be due, the fact remains that tho tilted hat is
on the wane and tho upturned nrims are
rapidly taxing the lead in tho coming sum
mer's exclusive fashions. New York Herald.

that no soldier had died and the officers
had the flowers sent to their quarters.
If there were death in the camp, the
flowers could not be used, for they arc
