NEW THINGS IN HATS.
The Panama, With Sample Band, Is
Very Much Liked.

1t is the hat which is woman's crown
ing glory this season, and one glance at
the millinery displayed at a fashionable
gathering is convincing evidence that she
has looked to her aurels with more than
usual care. A dowdy hat can spoil the
effect of any gown and half a woman's
beauty at the same time, so nothing else
in dress is of quite so much Importance.
Men as well as women are very sensi-
tive about their head gear to the extent
that the difference of hairs line In the
curve of a hat brim becomes a subject
of serious thought and consideration.
The poise OF the hat on the head can
make or mar the effect.
Much is accomplished by the bandeau
around the inside of the crown which
raises the hat from the head. This does
not interfere with the angle of the brim
and makes the hat vastly more becom-
ing.
Millinery is certainly very picturesque
this season, with its long plumes and
lace frills falling over the brim. The most
summary hats have Topping brims and
one long plume with rosette of lace,
chiffon or ribbon at one side, or they are
entirely trimmed with flowers. One
stunning hat in white crinoline. SO light
