VARIETY IS SHOWN IN
SPRING MILLINERY
Dress Shapes Promise to Be
From Medium to Rather
Large.

Dress shapes for the spring of 1912
promise to be from medium to rather
large, says the Millinery Trade Review.
The large shapes nave wide brims. six
inches being nothing unusual. The
crowns are rather small for the size of
the brims. ranging in height from about
two to Q and a half inches. The
large shapes are both circular and OBJ
long, and occasionally a brim projects
considerably more to one side. The
crowns are both square and oval.
The medium sized shapes usually
have upturned brims, with crowns OF
medium height, The brims are gen.
eally somewhat on the order Of the
Mandarin sailor. Bicornes, Napoleons
and marquise forms are also seen
among the medium size pressed goods.
Tagal n Milan are the favorite straws
thus farfor the items referredto. Medium
size shapes are also made of various
rough straws In bright. plain. as we'll
as varied nacre and combination colors.
The crowns of these made hats Include
tam effects; GONE bulge rather freely
Inc others but little. A ~collapsible
balloon shape of milan is also seen.
When a hat comes well down over
the head, it does so in rather straight
lines. fitting very closely; and in this
connection we notice nets worn owe
the hair, which seems very wise when
one has to try on many hats in the
! course of the day.
Some of the wide brimmed hats have
just g slight bend upwards at the front,
and in wearing these flat looking hats
they are usually tilted a bit to one side.
Some shapes are being made with
smooth straw tops and brims with a
rougher straw for the under brim.
1t is noticeable that many of the
shapes are being made in the darkest

cards.
Turbans are Of rather a large va
riety. with a general tendency toward
height, Where the turban itself is not
tall. a trimming to give it height is in
order. The turbans are mad of glossy.
as we'll as dull. fancy braids, in nacre
and plain colors. Mixtures of two sorts
of braids are not uncommon.
Spring Hats Of Flowers.
Turbans of flowers are mixed with
braid. with nacre silk and velvet; the
piece goods are usually employed in
the way of giving height. Flower
crowns, with small nacre taffeta brims,
are a feature also. The shapes of many
of the turbans incline toward those
Persians, as we'll as more snugly fitting
frames on the ancient Egyptian order
All OF them look soft as well as mug.
In quite some medium size hats the
brfmS are or straw n the crowns are
tams or nacre taffeta. Some Of the
tams are fuller and turned up at ont
side. Nacre taffeta Is also used for fac.
ing. Hand sewed braid hats are a fea-
ture well liked for pliability.
Some very wide ribbons are seen. thu
most prominent being nacre taffeti
with fringed edges, the edges being o
the two colors that arc employed IL
