New Shapes in Spring Hats.

Spring models in hats do not differ
strikingly from the last winter styles,
but there is a hint of wider brims with
the warm weather. All the new shapes
have large crowns. so that they sit well
over the head, and the trimming Is low
and fat. except in flowers and plumes.
These stand erect as usual.
One of the new fancieS is to cover
straw braid with tulle and sew the sides
of the braid together so that the edges
are shown in the finished shape. An
other idea is to use straw spangles and
satin braid on Il net foundation Some
toCueS are made of number of narrow
rutiies of tulle, each bordered with fine
silver or gold cord. Others are of alter
nate folds of bias-cut lisse and tiny frills
of tulle, covered with gold lace. Net is
used as a foundation, even when straw
braidS are used.
4 decided novelty is the use of several
as yellow. mauve and blue, thus produc-
ing a curious effect of a highly impress
sionistic character. White, black and
gold tulle are dainty combination; square
black spangles on white tulle are used
effectively.
Many Of the hats and toques are lifted
on the left side by piece of wired net,
straight at the bottom and curved at the
top. This is concealed by a large, soft

preferred for inside trimming.
Although roses are the fayorite flower
for trimming. other blossoms are used.

a moderate extent in trimming, but piece
