SPRING MILLINERY IS
in GROTESQUE SHAPES

Spring millinery is most interesting just
now to the majority of women because
the styles are so odd and so different
from designs that were favorites last
sea son. For instance. untrimmed hats
seem almost impossible. They look SO
grotesque. and this opinion is evidently
held by many. for recently. when stand
ing near the hat counter in large shop.
one young woman said to another, There
are the shapes told You Of" Call those
shapes?' her companion replied. why.
my chopping bowl has just as much shape
as those hats" And really the speaker
was right, for the choice in 1909 head
gear seems TO be between a beehive and
d bowl.
The mushroom and Charlotte Corday
effects are much in evidence. And those
possessing tall, slender figures or youth
full faces will find either style becoming,
provided the decoration harmon!Zes with
the general outline.
Fortunately for elderly and for short
women, the turban hat is considered
smart. for this is shape that is gen
orally becoming, the size only being d
consideration.
Small Turban to Be Worn.
The short, petite figure with small fea-
lures will look cute i'll tiny turban
perched on fluffy hair. while an older
woman or one possessing a full, fat face
should choose a large shape and prefer
ably high trimming.
Then there are medium sized turbans
suting the average face and figure.
The crowns in the beehive shapes are
simply immense in size and look odd I'M
less well covered with ornamentation.
Trimmed as some are. with a twist OF
ribbon dividing crown and brlm, all sense
Of proportion seems lost. One of the
prettiest ways of decorating this kind of
hat is a broad soft ribbon folded around
the crown, held down at intervals with
small wreaths made from tiny flowers.
The ribbon ties in a fiat bow at the
left side and is fringed on the ends that
fall to the shoulders.
These little wreaths are quite expensive
to purchase ready for adding, but any
girl could buy the flowers and mount

I them on wire frames herself, and so les
sen the cost at least one-half. This FASH
| ion of trimming. too, calls for less skill
than many other arrangements.
| A wreath could be attempted by per-
| son who would not dream of undertaking
a bow. or arranging a feather.
Mothers with small girls could easily
make this style of decoration, with GER
tainty of success.
Jet hats are still worn. but as spring
advances straw will be favored, the jet
| being heavy looking.
AS trimming, however, spangleS hold
their own.
| Some deep yellow straw hats ornament
| ed with jet are most effective. Cut beads
| in motif of jet beads at the left side.
| from which spring three quilts, the fronds
cut SO they resemble spears, are eff
fective.
| Horsehair Hats Will Be Worn.
Black braid and horsehair hats look
pretty trimmed with jet. and very hand
| some cabuchons. banding and cut orna-
ments are used on many.
| A Corday in fine hair braid, trimmed
solely with a twist of black tulle drawn
through an immense jet buckle. taking
almost all the front OF the hat, was
striking model.
| Gold and silver embroideries decorate
many of the new hats, while flowers are
used in prOfusiOn.
| Colors, however. seldom follow nature,
for brown roses are among the most fash
ionable decorations.
These are effectively used in cream
straw. sha ding. as they do, from pale
yellow to deep brown.
Another harmonious combination is
| wreath of silver sweet peas on gray, the
dainty blossoms backed with pufflngs OF
gray tulle.
Wings seem not to be listed among the
favored kinds of ornamentation for
spring, though recently a hat was seen
quite large, too. almost covered with
wings of every hue.
There were pinks, odd blues, greens,
browns and puppies; in fact, the appear
ance at first glance was that of an i'm
mense dish Of ice cream.
Some of the Powered hats resemble dec
Grated cakes. Still they are less conSpic-
uous than the wing trimmed models.
