MAINLY ABOUT HATS.

Despite the craze for small hats
which is prevalent this season, the
large hat Is really larger than ever,
and its popularity Is in no way DIM
med by the present preference for
small shapes.
The small shape has, OF course, its
admirers. and for neatness adm sery-
iceable wear II Is much more appro-
pirate than the large shape. The
type Of face which has regular fea-
lures looks best under the large,
severe hat. but for the more piquant
and yiyacious style a small. upturn-
ed. coquettish tcque seems more suit
able. and woman OF this type who
is wise taboos straight. severe styles.
A charming new model OF hat seen
a short while ago was that In the
new Manila straw-which is quite
the latest In STRENGTHENING an UNI
der-brim In navy straw. The right
side front was turned up and caught
with a white bead ornament, from
which uprose white nncurled
ostrich feather. Tao ostrich feather,
II not a lancee plume. is only per-
mssible when II appears In the
straight, uncurled manner, and usu-
ally standing very erect on the front
OF the hat. Another small hat was
in royal blue canvas ribbon, which
was innocent OF all trimming save d
tall bow In the canvas straw at the
left side. This is soft straw, cap
able OF being arranged to almost any
shape. and is very light end delight
full. The ander-brin: xas lined in
black faffetas and made a delightful
little haiti or morning wear.
A word about the picturesque poke
which has taken such a hold upon
feminine fancy this season. They
are particularly fetching and almost
always becoming. but unlike most
OF the small hats. the poke allows
the coiffeur TO show at both frcnt
and back, making a soft frame FOR
the face. They provide a touch or
occurrences desired as much BY the
modern woman as by her old-fash-
Toned grandmother. These fascinat-
Ing little CONNECTIONS are made up In
straw and ribbon, lingerie and lace,
and are trimmed with irresIstibly
lovely combinations OF ribbon and
flowers.
