fell backward. The man who was be-

Spring Hats.

Easter importations, with height given
only by the fancied turning. None is
tipped to such absurd angles as were
the winter hats. while leghorn straws
appear at present in all the new spring
cOlOrs.
Milans and chip straws. together
with satin braid and tuscan, appear in
all the new shapes and as brilliantly
colored as the spring tulip beds. New
ribbon trimmings have single embroid-
cred roses upon their black backs and
are used with charming effect upon a
black straw. the embroidered flower
appearing apparently separate from its
ribbon background.
