The average face of the American wo-
man is somewhat larger ard broader than
that of her French and English sister,
and, therefore, requires u larger hat to be
N proportion. Furthermore, the present
mode of dressing the hair necessitates
fairly good-sized hat The huge shapes
are in great demand and are being worn
20 limited extent. Less trimming is re-
quired than formerly, because of the
many different ways into which the
shapes are made.
While the ready to wear hats are in
creasng in 2lle, the untrimmed hats are
still very much in the lead AS the sole.
trimming ostrich plumes come in for a
great amount of attention just at present,
probably on account of the action taken
by the Audubon Society, and all reports
show this will probably be record break
ing season in ostrich.
The Gainsborough, trimmed with as
trich plumes, is perhaps the most popular
hat of the hour, and an innovation is the
practice of wearing this hat with the
slort-skirted walking suit. Although
high crowned hats are the seasons new
est, there are shown many pretty pla-
teaux which are bent and twisted into
becoming shapes.
Braids are being used to fashion hats.
which will be appreciated by those seek
ing novelty, Lace enters largely into the
adurnment of the dressy hat, and is de-
cidedly lovely when tastefully employed.
Neivets in every color aud shade are also
seen and fur hats will practically predom-
inase when the heavy fur coats are dom

A stylish fur hat is made of squirrel,
and its soft tones blend charmingly with

is picturesque hat which has so far
found favor. 1t is shape that accords
well with the 1880 style idea.
Tie fashion of deep fall of lace sur
rounding the brim of dressy hats is much
favored. 1t is convenient, as it forms a
shade for the face and allows veil to be
dispensed with. In some cases it sur
rounds the entire headwear, or at other
times is raised from the sides to the top
of the hat, when at the back it forms
large bow on the crown, the ends of
which fall gracefully in cache-peigne
fashion over the hair.
Rembrandt effects are to be noted on
some Of the new models. A brim that is
something of q pointed poke in the centre
of the front and then rolls away on
either side. and finally up over the crown,

of black velvet, faced with delicate
pink silk and trimmed with ostrich tips.
The particular feature of the crown is
that it is much higher in front than in
the back, which gives it distinctly
novel and attractive appearance.
The accusation of woman's inconsist-
ency is as old as the hills and as new as
yesterday. If men were not ambitious

were not inconsistent, she would stand

milton. If she accepted one attitude and
sack to II. in no time that would come
to be regarded as her proper sphere and
there she would be expected to remain.
