Spring comes earlier each year." said
the mflliner importer. "At least the spring
hats do They are earlier than the birds
our first millinery focks came over in De-
cember."
Milady is responsible for 1t all. She so
soon wearies of her winter fnery. When
the January winds begin to get in their
work upon the plumed picture hats and
threaten to bear them aloft with every
gust the rim straw toques are most allur-
ing. The woman who has dropped in for a
between-seasons hat of velvet or ma1ine is
pretty sure to buy a straw one instead.
They are so fresh and the sheen of the
satin straws and the tiny flower buds and
leaves seems to promise that spring itself
is close at hand. Milady forgets that many
weeks of ice and snow still lie ahead. She
buys spring hat for the mere joy Of look
ing at it, if for no other reason.
The tale of the spring hat is that of the
toque, yet there is no monotony in the re-
cital. Paris, London and Vienna have
dared the innovations which have brought
about infinite variety under one general
heading. American designers have had a
hand in the game, though their efforts

The winter toaues. whose rolling pflhis
were covered by closely fattened wreaths
of ribbon roses. or by 1attened rosettes
which Initiated roses. have given Sc to
certain forms of braid work. The general
effect of tho fiattened rosettes is reproduced
by straw ovals and circles. which are much
more durable.
Pointed in Front.
A closely fitting turban intermingles brown
and white with piquant effect. As usual, 1t
is pointed in the front. The slightly con-
cave crown is of a mingled white and
brown straw braid. The rim is OF more
elaborate construction. 1t is composed OF
egg-shaped pieces of the brown and white
straw braid, each edged with ruff1ed bit
Of brown velvet.
Scalloped brims are also a feature OF the
spring toques. The sharply turned up brim
of pale gray turban has a scalloped edge.
This is finished by a serpentine braid OF
brown fecked with white in something OF
the ermine effect. A white military POM
pom is set on the left side.
Ribbon ruchingS find a place on the
toques. So trim and orderly are they that
they strike no discord even on a strictly
tailored hat.
A pretty red and white hat rather over
steps the bounds of a toque. 1t seems
meant for the school girl in her teens. The
CLEAN of its red and white straw will
match the fresh color in her cheeks. The
brim is slightly waved as well as rolled.
Well within the edge of the underbrim runs
a quilting of two-inch wide taffeta ribbon.
The same quilting encircles the medium
high crown, while several saucy punches
of cherries are set on the left side.
No Back Trimming.
1t is noticeable that the spring toques
have practically no trimming in the back.
A plume may droop slightly over the brim
in the back or few ostrich tips may be set
under it to hide the deficiencies of low
coiffure; but these are exceptions which
prove the general rule.
Taffeta silk pleatings are in as great de-
mand as the quillings for millinery pur-
proposes. If used for brim Ornamentation
they form a softening background for the
face.
A torpedo" turban has blue straw braid
cleverly combined with pleatings of blue
taffeta silk of a slightly daI ker shade.
Several rows are interviewer with the Stra "
braid to form the crown. and the entire
brim is covered with the same plaating.
White and blue wings. perched jauntily on
either side, give the correct tailor finish
