year one must admit that some OF the pos
sibllties suggested are delightful.
Some OF the shapes are absurd, Of course
That is always to be expected, ln1 the
same thing will be true when late sp.ne
has revealed all that the milline-s have
planned for the season. but, on the other
hand, many of the shapes are delightful.
They are but modified versions OF what
women have worn during the winter and
II truly novel and original shapes are o be
launched in the spring, at least no torerun-
ner Of them appears now but the winter
shapes take on quite another air when they
blossom out in tulle and straw and flowers,
and here and there a tendency but h:nted
at In velvet or beaver has been carried
further in summery materials. For exam
pie. we have seen a number of hats turn
ing up frankly in the back though they are
the exception, and the rule is the hat roll
ing up at one side and down on the other
or rolling high on one side and lower on
the other.
Big hats are usually in the majority in
summer millinery and in advance exhibits
Of summer millinery for the south. though
early spring always brings out an a5und-
ance of small hats suitable for wear with
tailored trotting frocks. Just now the
big hat in straw and In tulle is most in
evidence, but there are a good many at
tractive turbans and a few narrow brim-
med high crowned straw shapes of the
Henri IL order. Tricornes and bicornes
have, 1t is said run their course, but they
have been made up in straws, chiefly
large lines.
The flower hat which is a perennial ia
vorlte at this season and bridges over
gracefully the gulf between late winter
and real spring, is revived now in turban
form, following to a considerable degree
the lines OF the populaf winter turbans,
though with a tendency occasionally to
rise higher in the back than in the front
and not to sit so low on the back of the
head as have the winter turbans.
One of the prettiest flower models we
have seen was in exquisitely shaped roses
yelled In black tulle and trimmed with an
enormous bow of black tulls on the left
side. Another with the line rising toward
the back was all pink cameiias, beauti-
full waxy things shading from white to
deep pink, and 1t had a bow of black chan
tilly posed on the left side. Still another
was IN pansies of all the glorious purple
and yellow tones, but was partly swathed
in smoky gray tulle and trimmed in big
knot of the tulle.
Flowers ana tulle, flowers and tulle, this
combination is reported over and over again
and In many forms. A large hat of tulle
has a wide shirred brim dropping in front
and turned up in the back. The crown is
an enormous full one of the tulls falling
far out over the brlm so that only couple
of inches Of the latter shows. At the left
side mass of roses nestes among the
tulle.
Large shapes in Leghorn or fine novelty
straw have big stiff crowns and wide
brims which roll boldly at the left side and
droop at the right. These are trimmed in
various ways with silk scarfs, velvet, flow
ers, wings or what you viii but among the
prettiest OF them are those which like
the model illustrated here. have a vide
band of black or dark velvet enclrcl.ng thl
high wide crown and flowers laid loosely
against this velvet
