PARIS HATS AT ABSURD ANGLES.


 The Forehead-Parisians Like Capes.
 The new shapes in hats have become so general that one no longer wonders at their ahsurdities. Some of the little round shapes are worn so far on the side of the head that they expose al most one-half of the hair. Another, the saucer, shape, is worn way over the forehead, and is held up in the back with punches of feathers tor great deal of flower. trimming. AHA. 1. Some of the hats worn at a recent wedding are we'll worth description, although their principal feature seem ed always to be the odd way they perched on the head. One boat shaped hat of brown erin had the front much indented, and was worn almost over the nose, There was no trimming save a large bunch of yellow and salmon pink roses with brownish leaves, which was. placed on one side Another hat was a plateau shape of blue velvet. lifted up in the back with a mass of brown ttille bows. On the front of the hat, at the very edge of the brim, was large bow of, brown tulle, holding a sweeping blue feather.
 Brown is conspicuous in the spring millinery. The bridesmaids hats at a recent fashionable wedding were of brown tulle, trimmed with punches of pale green or pale pink feathers, which ever matched the costumes. There was a touch of brown on the gowns (three of which were pink and three green), in the shape of a small brown tulle sash and small bow, on the bust. l In the way Of trimming for millinery, more feathers are used than is usually the case at this time of the year, and besides ostrich feathers there are lot of waving coque plumes. A novelty is what is called the natural ostrich l plume, which is far less curled and graceful in shape than the customary product @sss
 The liking for long lines seems to continue, and many of the spring gowns are made with long tunic over skirts. There is also a return of the bo- llero without coattails, as was the original fashion. A novelty is a bolero cut off just above the waist line in the back with long, sashlike patte fall ing almost to the bottom of the skirt. The principal features of the new bo- Hero that lifferentiate it form the one formerly worn are the suppression of the blouse and front and the closer lines of the bust.
 Even the redingote, which has been worn all winter, is not entirely discard ed. A recent model shown by a we'll known tailor is in broze brown cloth. The new feature is a shaped belt, stitched all over. The skirts are un- trimmed, save for stitched band at the bottom. The top opens with a shawl-like revers of black satin, hav- ing little underfold of white linen. The chemisette is completely covered with tiny ruchings of Valencinnes lace. and there is a small black satin tie labcut the throat. The sleeve is small gigot, ending just below the elbow in a turn-up cuff finished with an edge of black satin and trimmed with single large black button.
 Early spring wraps are long gar ments on more or less conventional lines, long straight folds and high big sleeves. Most of them are made with out collars, although one or two man. teau makers tried the effect of some. thing approaching the oldtime Medici collar. In the long mantles there are 6 good many made with side pleats, as in the case of a mantdle of white cloth, trimmed with silver and blue embroi. 'dery. There are deep pleated yoke and n fol, nfI I,1
 dery in silver and blue, with points o1 the embroidery running down over the yoke. At the bottom of the yoke, which
