NEW MILLINERY.

Smart Spring Hats Will Be Worn
Tilted Over the Face.
The square high effect at the back OF
hats is one of the new wrinkles Of the
spring styles, and the tilt over the face
is effected by means of an exaggerated
bandeau at the back.
There is no question that all hats
this season will be smaller. Even the
picture chapeaux are curtailing thei1
dimensions. To the majority Of wo
men these hats with smaller brims are
most becoming.
There is another whim Of millinery
to be chronicled that will attract GER
tain type of woman, and this is the
square appearance impaired to the
front Of hat by cutting away OF
catching up the brim directly in front
A leaf shaped bow fills in the vacancy
A stunning hat Of this square shape
is carried out in mauve straw, with

Warsaw has a population Of about
100000. Russia keeps a garrison Of
10000 soldiers there to overawe the
