News Of the sprina Hats.

Picture hats and these tiny little
affairs that Paris has whimsically in
sisted all the world shall wear are
eide by side.
Such funny little affairs some Of
them are-regular little polo caps, or
Dutch bonnets, that are only tiny
apologies for hats, yet are wonder
fully attractive and most becoming.
New swisses are embroidered and
printed in all sorts of designs, the
flower idea being perhaps prettiest
of all.
A new treatment for the tiny lace
trills that face some of the prettiest
of the spring hats Is running them
from the outer edge to the inner and
out again in sort of point, which Is
oiled in by other frills, which get
Ehorter and shorter as the space de-
creases.
Linen hats are exquisite, with every
day a new way of trimming-or of
nuaking-them, springing up.
A white chip hat, edged with a row
OF light blue braid and trimmed with
blue velvet ribbon. is one of the sim
p!est, prettiest things imaginable.

Among the liqht Fabrics.

Ever since fashion veered around
to soft, lightweight stuffs that could
be shirred and draped and tucked and
made into full, wide costumes, manu-
facturers all over the world have
been working to turn heavy fabrics
into light, stiff materials into supple,
without losing the characteristics Of
each material.
Nobody thought It could be done
with taffeta, yet soft finish taffeta has
been achieved. and has leaped into
regularity with a single bound. Among
the spring suits none Is much prettier
than those in which taffeta plays an
important part.
Wolfe skirts-perhaps one Of the
new little checked voiles, or one that
is plain-are trimmed with taffeta,
Just the "least touch of a shade" dark
e. in color, and the jacket-a rather
short, jaunty little affairs of the
taffeta, tucked in the prettiest of
ways.

NAVAL BATTLE

The Russian Baltic Fleet is

Singapore, April 9-The Russ.
ian Baltic squadron passed here at
2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The forty-seven ships steaming slowly
at elghts knots an hour, four abreast,
presented striking spectacle.
The vessels, however, bore evidence
of the effects of their long sea voyage
and at the water line showed sea
weeds foot long.
The squadron was led by large
cruiser, followed by three converted
former Hamburg-American line YES
sells. Then came the cruisers, GOLFERS,
battleships, etc. The Golfers were
mostly in the center of the feet.
The decks of the warships were coal
laden, while the golfers and the for
mer Hamburg-American liners were
light of draft.
The fleet passed seven miles out
The fleet consisted of six battleships
nine cruisers, eight torpedo boat de-
stroyers, thtee volunteer fleet YES
sells, sixteen golfers, one salvage
ship and one hospital ship, and three
Hamburg-American liners. The feet
did not stop to receive dispatches or
to consult with the consul. Suisse
luently the consul visited Vice Adj
miral Rojestvenskys ship, talking to
him from launch. He did not board
the vessel, but was cheered heartily
on leaving the side of the ship. The
consul gave to the feet the first news
Of the fall of Mukden.
The vessels are burning soft coal
and a tremendous smoke Is visible
,or miles. Gangways were not low
cred and nobody was permitted on
board the vessels. No news was
vouchsafed. The only launches al
lowed to approach the fleet were those

ISOLATED Press. Natives lined the sea
front and were greatly excited.
Artillerymen and submarine miners
were kept at their posts all day, man
ming the guns and mines. AS the
feet did not touch the harbor limits
40 salutes were fired.
The squadron disappeared about 8
o'clock in the Afternoon, still smoking
black on the eastern horizon.

A Spring Hat.

Cutely turned up across the front is
the spring hat of bronze-colored
erin" or horseshoe braids. The
crown is softly indented on top. The
brim is broad enough to be quite high
when sheerly turned up in front, and
gives the effect of a triangular hat at
sides and back. Folded bands of rich
bronze -colored velvet, with a five
lCoped bow of the same, laid in front
en- upturned brim and resting almost
on the hair, constitute the trimming.
One superb pale rose-colored ostrich
plume almost encircles the hat. 1t
starts at the back and continues
around the crown, but at the left side
ii curls over the brim, and hangs
down toward the back.

Their New Corset.

Women are to no longer wear the
peculiarly low corset. They owe the
change to the Marie Antoinette fash
ions. The straight, high stomacher
front is required to give these bodices
the straight line required from the
bust line to the deep point. Though
built on Queen Anne lines. these cor
sets are luxurious, with no torturing
wood and iron, such as that monarch
and her ladies endured. The straight
front effect is thus retained, only it is
elongated. And there are the support
ers! 1t is said that an old corset Of
the day of Queen Anne actually shows
traces of these same supporters.
