to persist sympathetic heaviness devel-

among the local traction stocks. There
was no indication of stiffness in the mon

thing to do with this.

accounts for the ''over TOUCH" especially
in hats, that shows just now. Hats push
ed over the eyebrow and entirely hiding
the hair in front are so much worn that
protest appears in the hat that dis
plays the hair. Then the wheel bow
holds its own, but new notion is to set
it against the hair in front on one of the
off-pushed hats. One of these is sketch
ed by itself, sapphire blue velvet tur
ban that showed in front only collec-
ton of dashing gray wings, and wheel
of sapphire velvet centered with a paste
buckle.
Many CT the big hats that are held off
the face are planned to make a frame
for face and hair, and often are so care
fully built for front effect that the side
outline is almost grotesque. The scuttle
brim uplifted in front is oyerhung with
plumes and mounted with loops of ribbon.
The facing of such brim is always elab-
grated, the fancy still holding for chiffon
in delicate color, or white laid in q lot of
pleats that stand on edge, making a very
soft and pretty finish. Some of these
hats have facing of chinchilla, in which
case there is usually showing of chin
chilla on the outside, too. The side
tipped hat which women tried to push
last season reappears. There is shown
here one with a soft velvet crown, pulled
up on the high side, with paradise
sweep curling over to that side. Even
the fayorite turban of crushed and folded
velvet, silk or fur is now curved up from
the hair in front, and in consequence the
pompadour is beginning to be crushed
down and to show some escaped and
shorter locks very like bang. The Hen

The Spanish turban, with brim boxed
up at the edge, is now worn as If hang
ing TO one hair, with feathers dropping
on the shigS side and a lift of trimming
there, too. Almost all the latest hats are
showing this tendency TO side effect, and
as a rule the hat dips to the left, being
trimmed very high on the right. One
way of accomplishing this is to set
handsome rosette OF chiffon or velvet on
