Among the many hat shapes II
vogue none have the brim turned NJ
at the back, says the Millinery Trade
Review. If the brim is wide behind
it is turned down over the nape oi
the neck, but maryland perhaps the
majority-are cut OF very short al
the back where they will often bs
trimmed with fall of lace, a pend
ant feather or dropping sprays OF
flowers. 1t Is generally considered
that a more youthful appearance ia
attained when such additions are
omitted-a large knot of hair filing
In the vacant space perfectly. How
sver, this Is merely q matter of per-
sonal appreciation; milliners are
rather prone to favor hats trimmed
al the back-perhaps because they
show off better in the hand. Hats
turned up at the side frequently have
this portion of the brim wider; othera
that jut forward or that turn down
Or up over the brow have the brim
much wider in front
Most of the newest toques ars
large with the turban effect exagger-
ated in front and at the sides and q
decided slope at the back Many are
made with the top-it can hardly be
called a cHown-on a level with the
upper edge of the brim. Others con-
structed out of a round or heart.
shaped plateau are rolled up high
At the front and at the sides Be-
sides these, there is a variety of fam
eiful shapes that are dubbed indif-
ferently toques or small hats.
Among these may be noted some
new Louiv XIV. tricornes, some built
up of a plateau of which are caught
up in three places by ribbons; others
with a regular blocked crown and
the brim slanting upwards from it
at an acute angle.
A natty little tricorne of the lat
ter shape is made Of closely-plaited
champagne-colored straw trimmed
around the edge of the brim and
around the crown with three rows Of
green straw closely plated In the
indent on the left side are two mar
row pointed black corteaux tipped
with green, fastened by rosette
of the green braids. There is a great
fancy for this sort of quill, Just now;
they are called 'couteaux diable" be-
cause somewhat similar to those
which decorate the cap of Mephis-
topheles.
The highly ornamental character Of
much Of the straw provided is a trim
ming in itself.
For big turban toque made Of
wide, dark blue, fancy straw braids,
overlaid with thick piping Of plain
straw, the only trimming is a pair
of the aforementioned "couteaux
liable also dark blue and shaded
nto gray and dipped with scarlet,
placed rather forward against the
1rim. Some medium-sized hats are
quilt up Of two plateaux of heart
shape, made of wide fancy chip
oraids, to one side Of which hang
straw balls-tassels, almost exactly
hops. There is an inter-
'al of two inches between each tas-
Iel. This arrangement is most Of
ective in such colors as pale nut
'rown, light gray-blues and blue
'reens, further trimmed with a large
BOW of satin to match, put on at the
'ack. Small braids and plated and
-ouffred braids made up in variety
# ways; the first, arranged so that
ach row of braids lap over the
ther, is very ornamental.
The others may also only be sewn
Iown at one side when lace edging
It plating of velvet ribbon is sewn
N the overlapping edge
Red or foliage-green plated braids
dyed with black lace make up
harming hat and toque shapes, as
kewise white or light-colored braids
dyed with cream lace. A good deal {
! done by combining braids of sever
shades.
