latterly said rather than in what has been
seen of them. However. extremes IN tho
mode generally have to feel their way to
popular acceptance. and the small hats may
come up again as the new season advances,
as they did in the late weeks OF the last
spring In the box turbans.
Nariously square or with straight sides.
bell-shaped and oval or dome-shaped. the
crowns seen IN the new imported hats are
also variousIy low medium low. tall and
comparatively tall.
The low crowns. I'm some instances. run
into shapes that are quite wide; narrower
crowns exist in those of the taller descrip-
lions, Which may be quoted as moderately
wide and medium narrow. Some of the
taller square crowns show the angular edge
rounded, and the taller of the dome-Shapod
crowns are varied by some of slightly conf
cal effect. having the pointed top rounded
off.
The new toQues have mostly oblong oval
crowns wider or narrower according TO the
adjustment OF the brim or the design in the
model. The fiat top or the wide fiat crown
may be said still to dinereutiate the tur-
bars. while plateauX again in requlsition
by the mode, to increase the diversity IN
the construction of hats, these mounted on
an inside headsize. or bandeau, as for the
last two or three SeaSons-there We're mod
els on display in the recent eNpoSitions OF
new headwear with no exterior semblance
of being fashioned with crowns.
OF brimS, It may he said In a general
way, or extravagantly that there seems
place in them. Upspringing at one point
and turned up rolled at anothtr. pinched
in in a notch here, and folded over there:
faring outward around the right side, and
lifted at the left side; short and tipped
downward at the front. somewhat narrow
ed at the Sides and widely projecting and
variously somewhat lifted. aud hattened up
| at the back-the dGViSings by the mode in
brims have been to the last degree ca
PRECIOUS.
This. however. particularly In reference
to the hats of the medium large. and the
medium small sizes. While the very large
hats, inclining to the shape of the old
f. hioned shepherdess hat, have the brim
somewhat depressed and shadowy around
the right side and the front and widening
out and sprnging high around the left side.
some of the merely large hats. especially
those with the taller crowns, show brlms
! unexpectedly simpie-lifting n little at the
right side, and slightly rolled at the edge
on the left side, being about all the fancy
with which they have been invested. And
severely simple is a remembered Partisan
model in dress hat fashioned after the
style of the sailor hat, with Il low square
crown. and an absolutely fiat brim.
AS a novelty of Introduction. for the
| time, the hats with the brimS short and
dipped at the front, widening gently at the
sides. and running out wide and upspring-
| ing a the back. Will possibly have noted
measure of approval. especially among ex-
tremsts in the fashions: and there has been
temperance. in small numbers In the
new models. of hats which in contour
widen from side to side, the crowns in their
lines conforming to the lines OF the brims.
Toques of diminished size, and appro-
prately modified in character. and the
| crown of the French capote with a pro-
jectirrg rolled brim rising to point at the
| TOP for the most part represent the distin-
! gushing Ideas which have expression in
| the bonnets seen In collections OF headwear
