Some Fetching Shapes that are NoUeI in the
Extreme Pressed Shapes and Made Hats
Compete for Fashionable FaUor.

This spring the latest advice from
Paris may we'll be summed up in You

proves becoming. for there never before
was such a latitude allowed by the pow
ers that be in millinery" And it IS to
be hoped that this sage and sound ad-
vice will be followed.
The irruption of small hats with which
we have been more or less threatened
has, fortunately enough for the most of
rs, failed to arrive. While they, such of
them as appeared over here as imported
models. were dainty enough. the styles
Of coifure affected by the smart Ameri-
can precluded the adoption of even the
least conspicuous of them. A noticeabIy
small chapeau, and even the most mod
est of pompadours. Will never go togeth-
er with any degree of grace and becom-
ingness. One or the other undoubtedly
would have to retire, and since some
sage authority declares that it IS the
hair and not the hat that makes for
feminine beauty, Of course, 1t was al
most a foregone conclusion that the hat
the very small hat-would have to re-
tire from the contest
The French woman much prefers the
coiffure with a parting in The center,
waved closely over the ears and drawn
down into a knot at the back of the
head. Upon such a cOiffure the little
chapeau will set daintily, and even CO
ouettishly with a hair net in lieu OF a
veil to keep the oudule locks in order.
Somehow those little hats and wells do
not strike ones sense Of proportion just
right, and realizing this the Parisienne
has enthusiastically taken to the hair
net, the invisible kind usually, although
one sees some that are so strenuous In
their insistence that even mock jewels

Leading milIiners are making a great
display Of the sailor shapes. Not that
little Breton OF saucer -brimmed sailor
that has remained with US for so long,
but rather the high-crowned and stif-
brimmed sailor, a close connection Of
the straw sailor that mankind adopts

The crown ms to those are Of the usual
masculine pattern, while the brims are
largely at the caprice of the milliner.
Some OF them are plain, dat and narrow
all around; others display a projecting
line In the back that must remind the
frreverent OF a sailors sou'wester turned
upward-a not too far-fetehed remf-
niscence under the circumstances-while
stiu others seem to strive for the happy
medium between those two extremes,
and with a goodiy measure Of success,

A fad that is followed by schoolgirls
is that of having a narrow velvet ribbon
tied around the collar top, just the frill-
ing showing above it. This is supposed
to hold the collar in place and to obyiate
the use Of the usual supports; but the
familiar little rods of featherhone are
insisted upon in all of the shops In
fact the best houses reject waists not so
finished by the manufacturer; so this little
ribbon fad is merely an excuse for orna-

Timely Little Touches of Fashion.

sailor shapes and which cannot fail to
prove becoming to the great majority.
Those fat mushroom shapes. the old
time plateau with the brim edge turned
down somewhat after the manner of q
mushroom, are having quite run among
those to whom the stiff sailor and the
little hat generally do not prove alto
gether becoming Here the bandeaa Is
the making Of the hat, literally as we'll
as fguratiyely, and the most prominent
part Of the trimming scheme Is planned
to appear under the brim a the left
side, extending, perhaps. TO the back as
well.
There are some extremely novel mani
festations Of the milliner's art that
adopt this same mushroom brim in con
nection with a bowl shaped crown. Per
haps more often than not those are ex-
pressed with the crown in satin and the
brim of straw, or vice versa; or with
crown and a brim Of chiffon, malilies or
lace.
With many Of them the originator, or
the creator, of this mode has had to in
sert colored stitch or some other guide
In the crown lining to indicate just
which is back and which is front, for
to the average purchaser they certainly
do seem as though they might Just as
well be worn hindside fore as any other
way. The bandeau in those Is steepest
at the left side, and usually narrows
down to nothing at all upon the opposite
side As though to balance the trimming
scheme the under brim or bandeau trim
ming Is massed at the left side, anu the
waving plumes that usually go with this
style are thrust through the brim to
wave around the crown, the tips usually
pointing to the back, oftentimes Drop
ping we'll down to the neck.
Either malines or ribbon Is depended
upon for the bandeau or the cache
peigne trimming. and 1t is by no means
uncommon to see the two cleverly com
bined. One famous milliner is employing
either brown, black or yellow tulle for
the back bandeau trimming, employing
the one or the other according to whether
the locks of the customer be blonde
brown or black. Certain it is that brown
tulle posed under the brfm at the back
of the hat Is bound to prove hattering to
any tint of chevelure save black, bring
ing out the gold and the red lights as
any other color cannot do. and making
even the duliest and most lifeless hair
take on an air OF gloss and grooming
that must be very satisfactory to It's
owner.
Ribbons are being very much used for
the simple hats that are to go with the
morning taiiormade of plain and per-
haps severe aspect. Those new sailors
are, perhaps, at their best with just a
scarf of ribbon close against the crown.

is fetching in the extreme.

White stockings are replacing those of

doubtless due to the fad for white In all
departments Of dress. The low shoes

dc much to make this favorite shade even

to follow fashion in even It's most

black, followed by the same period of
half mourning. usually expressed in gray
or lavender gowns and accessories, is the
rule for all the court officials, ladies' -
waiting, maids Of honor and the like,
when the court IS thrown Into mourning

A man believed to be Daniel Locke, about

Mr.. Bryan spoke OF the great responsible
tics and great opportunities Of the American
newspapers and declared that any Datlon's
progress, as he had learned in his travels
could be measured by h newspapers Il

He declared that England's greatest gift
20 the world. greater than parliamentary
institutions, was the gift OF free speech.
He said that rank and caste, however, Tor
bade the fullest opportunities to the news,
