| He jaunty little tip-tilted pancake
hat. that poked itself saucily
over ones nose last spring. has
passed away, and in its stead, 10
and behold. we have again the mar
Velous picture hats, with their deep,
wide brims sweeping in graceful curves,
and over which fan plumes in all their
variable magnihcence in effects of much
richness in line and color.
So few, indeed. are the small hats
they are confined. i'm fact. TO small tail
ored toques and hats fer the theater-
that one might well say fatty that only
the big hat viii be worn the coming
season.
Last season the hats had a straight
tilt from hack to front, but the new hat
has a sidelong tilt from the left side OF
the back and down to just over the right
eye. Most Of the large hats are built
ON the lines OF the Empress Eugene hat
OF the Seccrd Empire.
The brim is narrOwest on the right
side in front and widest on the left
side in the beck, where the wide, soft
brim falls in a graceful curve.
The crown is rather large, and fav-
orite pattern is the soft shirred crown.
the necessary height being given to the
hat by the plumes and the high barette
underneath. on some of the smartest
hats the brim is the new mushroom
shape. worn slanting sideways on the
head.
a really delightful creation, hat OF
Virot's shown by Henuassey, the Fifth
avenue importer of New York, is a
sailor shape ia pale blue velvet. II is
TO be set straight over the face, but has
b an, "a 10 wifi
pale blue naline; the brim is also bound
with maline.
Two extremely large wings exquisitely
colored IN q delicate shade of blue and
motJled with smoSe-colored feathers are
set like fattened Mercury wings on the
front Of the crown and extend far out
over the back A narrow fold of silk is
ret between the wings in front, giving
the effect of a deep silk buckle. Folds
of silk are brought around in front un-
derneath the wings and around the
crown.
The Very Newest HAT Creations.
A style OF much distinction is shown
IN a large black and pink picture hat
from NJ. Lewis.
This hat Is also set straight on the
head, but tilted forward a trihe, The
most striking feature is the brim,
which is Of black velvet faced with pale
shell pink and very wide in the back.
where it is rolled high above the crown
and narrowed down toward the front.
where It IS curved slightly over the
face.
The crown Is a high, round shape but
invisible. as It is cleverly draped with
three pufts OF pink and white Dresden
ribbon. A large steel buckle is set on
the right eide Of the crown.
The back of the hat showed the pink
facing of brIm and filling of pink maIine.
above which an exquisite plume OF the
same shade Is laid straight across. Civ
ing that tndescribables unmistakable
cachet Of Paris that is so Elusive and
aIluring.
A oonfecuoR In delicate blue is a hat
by Riboux, most graceful, most admlra-
bic.
4 sailor brina Of pale blue velvet IS set
high on a bardeau of pale blue maline,
and the edge of the brim bound with
maline.
A large tan crown of shirred velvet is
set well forward on the brim, which is
very narrow in front, but extremely
wide on the left side OF back. The hat
has the new side tilt, which is empha-
sized by two plumes OF pale blue. un-
curled. and tipped with smoke color.
which are set in front and dropped over
the back OF the brim.
Two oval buckles Of black enameled
gold hold the plumes in front.
The very novel feature OF this hat is
the use cf velvet "hlling'' instead of ma
line under the brim. A nning OF pale
blue velvet with a heavy cable cord
shirred in the edge resembles a huge
velvet flower and gives most striking
