There is a strong tendency. growing
in favor daily as French spring styles
become more abundant, to lengthen
the shoulder seam. This is accom-
plished more often than in any other
way by the kimono sleeve cut in one
with the body of the coat or bodice or
by trimming Of one sort or another ar
ranged to fall over the top of the arm
Wide folds that take on a sleeve cap
or cape-like look are in great evidence.
Crossover, effects are we'll liked and are
appearing in new coats and new bod
fees made by the best tailOrs and dress
makers.
The lowering of the bandeau is the
most striking change in millinery
styles. In some of the parlOrs where
French headgear is exhibited, low ban
deau encircling the entire inside crown
and wound simply with a wisp of brown
tulle, predominant. But one no sooner
begins to put this state of things down
as a generality than a tip-tilted hat
confronts one. But the latter is an
exception
There is a simple air about the
straight-brimmed hats that sit squarely
on the head after the seasons of frivol-
ity that have gone before. and all their
loads of flowers and feathers and bows
cannot save them from it. Very modi-
fled mushroom effects prevailed in one
opening and brims in nearly all cases
were of nearly or quite the same width
all around. The little tOques, many of
them, are placed back on the head to
show the front hair, but as yet the
French way for wearing all heaigear
in that way has not arrived" The
style, in fact, is more becoming to
French piquancy than to American
dignity. Some of the moderately large
hats can be worn forward or back as
they are more becoming. Feathers are
a great deal used and hobnob with
flowers on some of the handsomest
models. The newest thing in feathers
and a type too expensive to ever be
come ordinary, is known as "casoit,"
and looks like small paradise plumage
artificially curled.
So far it has been seen only on i'm
ported hats, and the French makers
show a liking for its use in connection
with the rather heavy and glossy rough
straws of narrow braid.
Many OF the feathers used suggest
the useful feather buster in their types, |
and indeed many are drawn from the
same humble sources though dyed and
made up in ways that atone for their |
plebian origin.
Brims that are narrow in front and !
wide in the back or Widened at the |
sides are much to the fore.
Hats of yellow Tuscan straw made |
up for the bridesmaids at a coming
wedding, were in lacy, yellow straw, !
with rundown brims almost twice as
wide in the back as in front and very
sudden in their droop, are all the /
hats I'm what is known as the empire |
mushroom style.
Soft pink satin ribbon and full me- |
diUm length ostrich plumes made the |
trimmings of these hats.
All sorts of hanging trimmings are |
used, long streamers of ribbon, tulle |
and lace, or shorter bows that fall over
the cOiffure, and dropping floral trim |
mings supported by tulle underneath or |
feathers that reach quite to the Shout |
der are used on many of the more /
pretentious hats for state occasions.
For wear with simple tailor-mades |
there are any number of small and
medium shapes, with very decided |
crowns, or with softly draped crowns
of the tocque order, and with garni- |
lures that correspond, and that will
stand hard wear without showing dam
age.
pretty small hat of this sort in a
mode straw was trimmed with a
wreath of small oranges that had more
foliage than fruit i'll its makeup, the
leaves extending almost to the edge of |
the brim.
At one side where the brim was
caught back there was a smart bow of |
ribbon that matched the straw.
