New York, March 26.-Hats are odd.
Some of the new shapes are stylish,
and some are not Each woman must
make it a point to see that the shape
is not "outre" and have it changed In
some way-by a new turn In outline,
or some other color combination, or
arrangement Of trimming-that suits
it to her own face.
Many of the new hats are flexible
in the brim, being held to their shape
by 4 7ine wire under the brim facing,
SO it will be an easy matter to make
many a change to the taste OF the
person in question. .,.,S
Fronts in many Of these new hats
are narrow, but still droop a little.
The crowns in most instances are low
and there is the same fall at the back
that we have had this last season.
There is a tendency in tho imported
hats to rise little at the sides, =
much better effect than the all around
droop, which was trying to the major
ity of faces.
aF1at effects are seen in the actual
hat, but the necessary height is
gained by the plumes which rise high
and fall again, or by immense Birds
that spread their wings in realistic
attitudes as II about to fly; aigrettes
composed of many full and long
aigrettes of the usual size, rise esmajes-
ticaliy from the front and the wave
back over the droOp, at the back or
sprays Of hackle feathers fall to the
right, to the left, and to the back, all
of which arrangements give the high
effect when needed and more times
than one when not needed.
Flowers-they are numberless-
wreaths of dainty small flowers. often
q combination of few large flowers
and many smaller ones are seen,
sprays arranged to initiate aigrettes.
clusters of flowers, one immense sin
gle peony, rose, chrysanthemum, or
bunch of violets, daisies, ETC., are
massed anywhere and everywhere
provided they are becoming there, or
to fill a vacant spot, especially under
the brim where the hair is not Of
sufficient quantity to I'LL in.
And the hair needs as much thought
rs the hat itself, it would seem. And
there ia no end to the fluffs, curls,
waves and all other devices used
by hairdressers, to make the head
look as though the hat and head had
grown together. Indeed the milliners
themselves keep these extra curls
and rolls-for whisper it not in Cath
false hair is to the fore just now
and Madame Milliner takes as much
pains to see that her customer has a
"way" with her hair as with her hats
1t would seem as II millinery had
exhausted the stores of the earth to
look upon the products she has
broughtforward for their adornment
Lavish expenditure" Is truly the
right phrase to use, while prices go
skyward and are rising every season
and little wonder, for it requires the
work Of artists now to put forth the
buckles, clasps, ornaments. pins and
jeweled beads 80 often seen upon these
creations,
A hat that emphasized most Of the
points in the foregoing, was Of fine
satin chip. 1t had the back and front
droop with the narrower front the
crown was low and the sides Of the
brim were a little lifted and its edge
bound smoothly with green satin.
Around the crown was a drape Of
white chiffon laid over one Of green
with here and there Q jeweled butter
Ay to hold 1t In place.
Out on the front eight white and
green short plumes rise and fall over
the sides and back as they will. A
few tiny clusters of rosebads and
green foliage under the rise Of the
brim on the left side give just tho de-
sired and needed bit Of color con
trast.
A gray hat 10 one Of the hardest
usually to keep from being too sub
dued or too bazarre, but one Was
shown not long since In gray satin
that managed to run the middle
course In an artistic way. The side
was lifted up about three-Quarters
OF the height Of the brim, making a
very artistic line. The brim was faced
with satin of dull pink overlaid with
gray net. Gray net is massed about
the crown held with an enameled
buckle set with pale garnets. A
white aigrette OF immense proper
