Few hats have brims Of even size.
The brims graduate in size from front

rowest and the back the widest part
although some side brims are quite wide
and others very narrow. No two sides
of a hat are alike and a woman seen
from the right side appears quite a diff

the left. Some of the large picture hats

two plumes almost a yard long trailing

All soTs of variations upon the mush-

general tendency on the part of new
hats to let the brim drOop over the face.
and practically all smart hats are trim

fashion is carried to such an extreme
that in most cases even the becoming
punches OF maiine, which formerly filled
in the interval between the under brim
and the hair, are now omitted and ma
