Changes in Styles.
There may be famine in mems hats
which threatens to reach this city but
the hundreds of ladies living in Dickin-
son and vicinity who attended the
spring millinery openings during the
past week soon dispelled all fears they
may have had of a shortage in feminine
headgear when they beheld the large
arrays of the very latest ideas in milli-
nefy so attractively displayed in the
local shops The week has been given
over to millinery openings and the
ladies have been induleing in their
semi-annual revel in the new colors,
shapes and latest conceits of fashion.
For those who follow the near extreme
styles each season, the hats this spring
show some decided changes over last
year. Then the large broad brimmed
effects were considered the newest
while this season the extremes run in the
opposite direction and the crowns must
be enormous. In fact new spring hat
is about all crown and trimming. How
ever, more conservative ideas are shown
and hats with sensible brims and CROWNS
are in as good style as ever.
The key note this spring is the big
crown. in lamp, bowl and helmet shapes
or immense turban effects. They are
extremely swageer looking and are be-
coming to most women. A round helmet
shape in one of the new shades. with a
striking pair of wings or aierette and
touches of jet, gold or silver. makes a
stunning combination

those whose features can carry it off.
and they are loaded with flowers of
many colors and varieties. with stream
ers or loops of ribbon to give the bonnet
effect.
Flower hats are also very popular.
Toques and turbans in the new shapes.
composed wholly of tiny flowers and
with very little other trimming are the
latest conceit. Hats with the brims
cut out in the back and with large roll
ling or dropping brims make up stun
ningly with profusion of flowers,
feathers and ribbons.
Black hats are the thing for early
season and the local shops are showing
some fetching designs in handsome braid
effects. trimmed with cut quills and
cabachons or with ribbon, jet beads
and wings. Jet is very stylish now in
he form of bands, crowns, buckets and
beads.
For trimmings. some of the new fads
include regular gardens in variety of
flowers, fruits of all kinds, roses, from
the very tiniest to the largest cabbage
Sizes and old fashioned garlands of
flowers. The size of the crowns necessi-
tates the use of very light weight ma
terials in their construction and the
fancy braids and proxil ines are unusu-
ally beautiful. Maline is largely used

for the big puf1ed crowns and shirred

The new colors include amethyst,
amber, coral. heather. wisteria, catawba
and mousse green shades.
