ADVENT OF THE SPRING HAT.
Millinery is Influenced by the Low style
OF Withdrawing.

OF Hairdressing.
Already the milliners have prepared
hats for the spring. Several new ma
terials for trimming are shown, among
them a crepe named LAiglon, which
Is seen in black and colors and is eX-
tremely soft and artistic. Striped
zephyr gauze is another new material,
and panne velvet, with gold embroid-
cry, Is novelty. Embroidered taffeta
with lace edge threaded with gold
chiffon appliqued and embroidered,
malines, Liberty silk in Persian de-
signs, panne velvets with Arabian de-
signs and soft irldescent ribbons will
all be used conspicuously on the new
hats.
The touue Of 1901 is worn more
fatty than the present fashion de-
mands, there being no side bandeau TO
tilt it. A tasteful example is of pale
blue chiffon embroidered with floral
sprays in a deeper tone of blue and
1raped over a full foundation Of blue
malines. The brim is made Of alter
nate folds Of deep blue panne velvet
and pale blue chiffon, ending in a
pouf at the side, which is fastened
by a gold buckle.
The fibre braids in fancy weaves are
indicated as a feature of the spring
hats, and the shapes win frequently
have two, three and even four brms
between which velvet, ribbon or flow
ers will be tucked For trimming the
hats made of this material artificial
flowers will be the choice, with large
.oses preferred. Wide, soft ribbons
IN huge choux will be used extensive
ly, also.
The return to low hairdressing has
introduced hats in large sizes, to fl
well down on the head. These ap-
proach the Spanish turban, or the
English boat shape, in form, and have
the brims faring decided at the front
a novel example is three-cornered,
with round crown, and is worn with
point at the back dropping over the
hair. The brim is wide enough to curl
over and fasten to the crown at the
three points, making a roll all around.
A large rosette formed Of loops Of vel
! vet ribbon is in the middle OF the
crown. and pink crush roses are tucked
into the rolled brim at the sides, with
bunch of five at the left.
A charming hat Of black malines has
fat crown, edged with an extremely
bouffant ruche and an underbrim SINH

crown, and a large spray Of the leaves
catches brlm and crown together at
the left side. The effect is extremely
dainty and chic.

lease of life in the milliner'S garden,
